ZDNet: Without radical change in patent law, Android ecosystem will die
Authored by: PJ on Monday, September 17 2012 @ 12:36 PM EDT
More stupid gloom and doom. It must be
catching. He's not a lawyer or trained
in the law, so his guesses are just guesses.

ZDNet: Without radical change in patent law, Android ecosystem will die

ZDNET author is not qualified by experience or education in making very direct
statements about whether the Apple patents and related decision are legal or
even sensible.

Makes for a nice headline or so.

ZDNet: Without radical change in patent law, Android ecosystem will die
Authored by: feldegast on Monday, September 17 2012 @ 01:05 PM EDT
I have noticed a lot of Microsoft bias from ZDNet in recent
years and therefore I take anything ZDNet say (on topics
where Microsoft have any stake in the issue) as propaganda/advertising/shill
activity.
This article might be different but due to past experience I
have given up even giving ZDNet the benefit of the doubt

never read zdnet
Authored by: designerfx on Monday, September 17 2012 @ 03:24 PM EDT
I thought people knew this?

sites to *NOT* read when it comes to technology because they
will never report it correctly on any level:

ars
zdnet
AP
CNET
PCPro
CNN
Engadget & Any gawker blogs (gizmodo, lifehacker)
BGR
geek.com
techcrunch
seland (search engine land)
WSJ
marketingland
Computerworld
any network broadcast site: abc/cbs/nbc/msn
about a 25% chance of getting it right on slashdot

You'll get about the same quality out of all of them as you
get out of zdnet in this article which is posted. What does
that mean? It's guaranteed that NONE of them will fact check
anything when it matters.

What sites do fact check?
groklaw
epochtimes
techdirt
volokh
fark

I really hope people catch on to this. Learn your reputable
sources for news and skip the rest.

This reminds me of the old show of Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In.

Clueless:"If it came to it, Tim Cook would license via FRAND what is necessary to Jeff bezos..."
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, September 18 2012 @ 07:57 AM EDT
Yet another indication that he has no idea whatsoever what
he speaks of.

FRAND - Non Discriminatory. There is no way to agree to
license stuff under FRAND terms without also licensing it to
anyone else who requests it under similar terms (ie
potentially any other Android using company)

This goes against the very point he is trying to make, ie.
Amazon is safe, Android is doomed.
