I can’t find anything about Qualcomm having Siemens roots. Are you sure about that? Qualcomm bought some BenQ Mobile (ex-Siemens) patents from HP (Palm), but according to Jobs, these were rather worthless: Just for the record, when Siemens sold their handset business to BenQ they didn’t sell them their essential patents but rather just gave them a license. The patents they did sell to BenQ are not that great. We looked at them ourselves when they were for sale. I guess you guys felt differently and bought them. We are not concerned about them at all. [1] Maybe this is what you were thinking about? If there is more, I’d be glad to hear about it! [1] http://www.project-disco.org/competition/012313-patent-bully-steve-job…

> Some call it retribution, others call it reversing a privilege that should not have existed in the first place. Sure. But rolling back those privileges within an act of overt political revenge - that insures it becomes yet another expensive, taxpayer funded bench-slap. Two of FL's legal money-drains - see FL mention: https://www.project-disco.org/competition/033122-despite-warnings-repu… and there's this: https://www.orlandosentinel.com/opinion/scott-maxwell-commentary/os-pr…

If the future of computer programming is important to you, read the briefing calling for cert in this case. A timeline and references can be found at http://www.project-disco.org/oracle-v-google-case/ . For a programmer, the weight of the evidence against copyright for APIs is conclusive as presented in the briefing. Unfortunately, there are no programmers on the Supreme Court; while Judge Alsop did learn Java Programming so he could understand the issues,the Circuit Judges who reviewed Alsop's decision were not so dedicated.

(I'm not a lawyer... this is not legal advice... etc) But I think he probably could try it if he wanted to. There are a number of "sample trolls" using technology that finds samples in old songs: http://www.project-disco.org/intellectual-property/040914-why-are-we-s… The statute of limitations for copyright infringement usually starts when the infringement is discovered: http://law.freeadvice.com/intellectual_property/copyright_law/copyrigh…

There is a reason why they are doing this. MS and Apple want to get away from the MAD patent balance, so trolls are eager to help: http://www.project-disco.org/intellectual-property/loose-nukes-and-ext…

> The law was designed to allow platforms to remove content without being legally liable for all of the content. If you disagree with that then you disagree with all of S230, and you need to campaign to have it removed and replaced. There is no need to campaign really. I am not an American but US laws govern these social media companies that operate in India too. I have experienced first hand how these social media companies operate here in India and know their biases clearly. But the US Government is already exploring it: https://www.project-disco.org/innovation/072920-what-is-section-230s-o… and here: https://gosar.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=3968 > It was "otherwise objectionable", because it's factually incorrect I don't understand "otherwise objectionable" to mean "factually incorrect". There are people who genuinely get a wrong idea of some process or procedure because not everyone is technically well versed. If I tomorrow say that stuxnet virus harmed my PC the technical minded you might say that it is factually incorrect because stuxnet is a worm and not a virus. So would you then censor my right to say it incorrectly? Do you want me to communicate to you perfectly and if not, that communication must be censored? Any reasonable person will allow that much of leeway. Not everyone can have perfect communication skills. Not everyone can be well versed in everything. Anyways the point is that "otherwise…

Sorry, didn't check back to see if anyone replied to me until today. Source, My self. Unfortunately I don't think I can recreate my proof. Around July 2013 the company I work for was looking for a new front desk person to handle payroll/AP/answer phones. Well the main boss was googling the top 4 people. One popped up as a criminal like 4 or 5 links down on google. He went around poking fun of her and her arrest recorded. At first I laughed. The next day I was thinking how did he get this info. I asked him and he said a simple google search. I did the same search sure enough there she was. (mind you we have no idea how she is spouse to look) He dismissed her based on this alone. What really sucks. Something seemed off so I looked into. I was able to get the exact same picture to show up on several names and several charges. Started playing around with it and got pretty good at predicting the results. I know for 100% fact it was dynamically creating pages. I got pretty bored fairly quick. So I didn't note anything down as its not my main interest. Why I think I can't recreate what I was seeing. It seems they have been getting in a lot of trouble as of late.
