> When a technology company starts suing on patents
Except when it's apple. Or microsoft. or anytime there is big profit to be done, or negociations breaks on contending points. it's just business as usual.
If true, one interesting point in the article is that yahoo has 2,661 pending patents in the pipe. Regardless of if these are "good" patents or not, it sounds like a non neglictable number for a company that doesn't get the spotlight so much these days.
It's really sad to see Yahoo! becoming the SCO of social networking.
