[Untitled] Patent Troll Sues Google, Apple & Microsoft | IPWatchdog.com: So what is it exactly that Cygnus Systems thinks Google, Microsoft and Apple are doing to infringe the ‘850 patent?  I couldn’t tell you and I am sure they can’t tell you either.  The complaint filed by Niro does nothing to inform the defendants, which is not supposed to be the case under the rules of Federal Procedure, but given that this type of thing happens over and over again it seems to be a strategy, and a winning strategy at that.  You see, the defendants are going to argue to the judge that they don’t even know what they are alleged to have done, they will spend money and waste time.  Ultimately they will learn what they are alleged to have done, but in the process they will become frustrated, angry and full of self-righteousness.  No one ever fights smart when they are made, and Niro makes the tech giants mad like lunatics.  I don’t personally know Niro at all, so I can’t say for sure if this is all strategy, but as I continue to watch these battles they almost always have a Tom & Jerry like quality, and it never seems to turn out well for Tom in the end, just like it never turns out well for the tech giants in the end.

[Untitled] Apple and Microsoft: The Difference in OS Sales Models | TheAppleBlog: Meanwhile, if Apple had to continue selling just one version of Leopard, but could not verify a valid Mac was in use, then they’d be in the same boat as Microsoft above. In Apple’s case, OS revenues would likely increase, but not near enough to make up for the lack of corresponding hardware income upon which they rely.
