Wasn't easy to find BBC technology! But here's the gist of it; Apple is evil and fully deserving of this particular slap on the buttocks. And this fruitless legal maneouvring against all the non-Apple people is evidence of it operating under the dominating mad psyche of zombie Steve.
Edit: Ok, there's the link.. |

How's that a wrong link? It is from the BBC technology site and talks about Moto, Apple and their fight over FRAND licenses. If it is wrong, maybe you could get off your high horse and enlighten us.

And maybe you could cool your heels a bit... I was just commenting, re Kartu's comment below mine, in a slightly humorous fashion so I do humbly, deeply and totally apologise for commenting about you with relation to another person's comment... and hope that you can find it in your heart to accept this sincerely felt apology as your link is exactly the one I referred to and Kartu's was a different one at Zdnet...

FRAND rates are, I believe, set with respect to using and paying for the rights going forward. But, like taxes, if you neglect to pay them when you are legally required to, the rates go up for retroactive payments. Penalties, punitive damages, whatever you call it, the basic principle is if you try to "shoplift" and you get caught, you can't always get out of it by paying the retail price, let alone demanding the VIP discount. Apple's latest offer is to pay everything going forward, but only as long as the can continue to challenge the patent retroactivly. Which is like saying we accept the patent and reject it at the same time. |
