I have seen PJ criticize any prominent person or business that she feels is
having a negative impact on openness, freedom and privacy as it involves FOSS
software and/or the internet/WWWeb.
I'm no programmer and I'm not in the legal profession. I started a free speech
online forum in 2003 and have followed Groklaw from the beginning. In nine years
of providing an open platform for locals to express personal views, on every
topic imaginable, I have seen many such remarks like;
"...what was once a place for reasoned reporting" and they have all,
without exception, meant "as long as I agreed with it." Please tell me
how yours is different. If it isn't, you should think about that. Seriously.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Google built its patent portfolio only in the last couple of
years. Why only
now? Because it didn't have to rely
on patents to do great products.
Google was just out of
reach for anyone else.
But now that it entered
in competition with Apple and
Microsoft, it had to build a huge patent
portfolio. And the
only reason is to make a nicer ground for patent
litigations.
Nothing more than that.
Google never used the patents it
acquired recently to sue
anyone. That's the difference.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Yes we cheer for Google. I never said they were the "Shining Knight,"
but they are more of a good guy than Apple, you have to admit. Also, we have the
fundamental human trait of liking to see a braggart go down in flames, in this
case, thermonuclear flames. It helps that Apple is also seeking to restrict our
choice of smartphone OS, particularly a certain Linux based OS...
You will see cheering as an opinion, but please recognize that PJ's analysis is
pretty unbiased, and what bias exists is created by Apple (surprise surprise).
Their conduct is not exactly ethical.
I find it interesting that you found PJ's coverage of the Psystar cases
"well done," because there were a lot of people who were aghast that
we would dare to even suggest supporting Apple. However, even though we are
getting very good analysis here, it is now "a cheering section."
Mayhaps you are cheering for the other team? Perhaps you do not wish to face
that truth that Apple is now a selfish, arrogant patent troll seeking to rule
the software world? Their conduct completely points in this direction, so no
wonder we oppose them.
