  • Apple loses bid for new trial in VirnetX case, appeal still possible

    *ahem East Texas*

    So when this actually goes to a real court - the final appeal will either be a very large reduction in damages, no finding of infringement or the patents will be struck down entirely.

    Why hasn't the USA done anything about the fact that East Texas courts are continuously finding in opposition to everywhere else in the country. It's an embarrassment.
    Because our legal system was designed by lawyers for lawyers to make money. Our country is run by lawyers, not the people. Almost all of our politicians are/were lawyers. The Illinois county I live in (99.99% Democrat Party controlled) has been called a judicial hellhole for decades because lower-middle class juries find for the plaintiffs almost 100% of the time no matter what the evidence shows. Railroad lawsuits, asbestos lawsuits, personal injury lawsuits all get filed here because of the “generous” jury awards that can be counted on.

    That's just great. The only good feature (aside from sharing calendar) is being removed. That just means not upgrading to Mojave (as I need none of the 90+ new 'features') or switching to other platforms. :-(

    Damn I’m good. Very next post too. So removing a single feature makes Mojave useless and you’re going to switch platforms. How deliciously stupid.

    Waiting for the “Apple is dead to me, Mojave is useless” comments. But I would like to know the reasoning behind the removal of the feature. Security? More likely redundancy like the article surmises. I never used it personally but that’s just me.

    Spotify is Apple's enemy. They take profits away from Apple's nascent music streaming.

    Apple should destroy Spotify once and for all. The world would be a better place without it.
    AM competition is intrinsically unfair becsuse of cross-subsidizing 
    Yeah, the world is unfair. When did you suddenly realize that?

    Circling the drain. Next up, claim Apple is anti-competitive and ask the government for help.
