Oracle's patent strategy
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, May 09 2012 @ 11:53 AM EDT
Oracle seem to be spending an awful lot of time on trying to
establish wilfulness, and no time on establishing infringement
of the patents.
They got Rubin to admit he called Dalvik a JVM, which seems
particularly pointless and has nothing to do with anything.
Their only attempt at proving infringement seemed to be
"dalvik is fast, therefore it infringes".

Isn't this a bit strange?

copyrighted...

Oracle has an android app
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, May 09 2012 @ 06:20 PM EDT
I just realised that Oracle has an app listed in the play
store for spreading company propaganda / news.

I won't link to it or download it, but I wonder if they are
broadcasting details of this case...

It would seem that there would be a billion examples of prior art for a timing
routine. Oracle should take their nine lines of code and put it where the sun
does not shine. (Pardon the pun.)
