Re:Google buys 1,000 patents from IBM to defend Android by sgentle on Wednesday September 14, 2011 @10:09PM (#2998632)
Honestly, good on them. This mobile patent crap is so ludicrous and out of hand. I'm glad that even though Google has to play by the same stupid rules as everyone else, at least they get the chance to remind everyone "you know this is a big joke right?" on occasion.

Christ, imagine how many jobs all of these patent cold war billions represent. Imagine how much time and energy is going into feeding a machine whose main outcome is stifling creativity and competition.
