Isn't this comparing apples and oranges. Google has 59% and Apple grows by 19%... those figure don't relate??? Google is now trying to emulate Microsoft by dominating with a cheap copy, but I think Apple has learnt that lesson.

Seems like the old IBM strategy of FUD (tactics which MS inherited). However, maybe there is a grain of truth in this. Perhaps MS Phone and Android will cancel each other out.

Companies who infringe on patents are not only harming the patent holder, but also all the other companies that are being honest and respecting the patent. They are invisible victims and I can see why they are also upset.

Companies that ignore patents not only disadvantage the patent owner, but the other companies in the market that have respected the patent. I can see they need protection too for their honesty - almost invisible victims.

Phones have always been emasculating. I remember visiting people in their office, maybe from miles away, when some guy from one floor up calls on the phone - "Oh, excuse me the important phone is ringing". Five minutes of drivel later, we get back t…

Great. More of this Java version nightmare. Online web version checker tells me it can't detect Java. Terminal tells me Java 1.6.0_37 (why the 1 in front?). I thought I'd upgraded to Oracle Java 1.7.0_13, but maybe this was disabled. How are regul…
