Counter-battery fire from Google...

Google files antitrust complaint against Microsoft and it new sock-puppet, Nokia

MS has unwisely poked a large and powerful dragon, methinks...

Judge deals deathblow to Oracle in Google fight

Judge deals deathblow to Oracle in Google fight

The author is hilariously ignorant. For example,

Alsup threw out a judgment handed down by a jury last month that said Google violated the copyrights on 37 patents owned by Oracle.

Experts Torn on Oracle's Chances of Appeal in Android Copyright Ruling
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, June 02 2012 @ 10:43 AM EDT
It would be best if Oracle took it to the appeals court.

Long term for Oracle, even if they lose this, they WIN big time (as it clears
the deck for cases against them on the future and makes the case law hardened in
this area - something that all tech companies can then take to the bank as they
map out their PRODUCTs and future's for their products).

I would like to see this go to the Supreme Court, and then all the courts of the
land would have to pay heed to the ruling then.

Again, Oracle, with their product portfolio would benefit even if they were to
lose on appeal (then appeal again the the Supreme Court - still would win if
they lost).

What the experts fail to notice is this: Oracle has a history of bull-headedness when it comes to litigation. Check out this article about the $200M lawsuit it lost, when it could have settled for a wrist slap:
The Register 23 MAR 2012
There's something very disfunctional about Oracles Board of Directors. Shareholders should be outraged. One, Jordan Weinrib, has filed a lawsuit over their handling of that $200M loser.
