But we need to keep it honest to win the squishes. And there are consequences on the other side of The Great Divide as well.

When I wrote the above it was not intended on being an kind attack Sorry you feel that it was. FYI I was not trying to say your ignorant, based on what you have written do think you should rely more on getting the facts first hand instead of using information base on what a tech reporter thinks went on in the court room or who was lazy and reported what O’s lawyer thinks happened, that is why I suggested you read the judges ruling your self ( all 41 pages of it) hoping it may help you to see that some of what has been written by biased reporters is not accurate.

When your first sentence includes attacking me as ignorant and then using the same old Socialist “paid for propaganda stooge” line that the Socialists use against *me* all the time, I have to conclude you’re full of it.

I think you need to find a new source to get your information from other then from someone like Oracles bought and paid for propaganda stooge Mueller. Also I have read most of the legal doc filed in this lawsuit over at groklaw.net including what the Judge him self wrote in his ruling on the API’s not being copyrightable, if you have not read his ruling you should it may open you eyes.

And if API’s could be copyrightable like Oracle thinks, Oracle would find them selves in big trouble along with others in the computer software industry that need API’s to make there programs run. Oh you do know that Android is not Java nor have they ever called it Java, what they are doing is not even the same or close to what Microsoft tried to do to Java.

They were caught deliberately hacking around Safari’s no-track option.

I don’t care what they think, and neither should you. They are evil.

The judge ruled that Google can take Oracle’s open source code, ignore the licenses and make its own clone, then do its own thing.

So Google gets to ignore copyright while not innovating.

Google is now Microsoft. Embracing and Extending Java while not contributing back. Remember, Android 3 wasn’t even open source.

As for IE 10 having Do Not Track on by default I did not know IE even offered such an option. I have IE 8 that does not even offer DNT as an option. I use Fire Fox and it has offered the option of me turning on the Do Not Track option for a very long time. IIRC it was over a year ago that I noticed DNT in Fire Fox. I’m sure most users of FF turn on the DNT option and to date have not read nor heard about Google being up set over DNT.

I to was surprised to not see anything about the big Win for Google but then I got my info about this stupid lawsuit not from the main tech web sites I got it from Groklaw.net

Particularly given the sound thrashing you insisted on giving me when you claimed they’d suffered a major setback. Fair is fair Neil, particularly when you’re going to highlight an attack on them instead.

Not that I disagree with you about that item, just that I don’t want ammo for their side to say we are just being fed a steady stream of propaganda. Leave that to their side.
