The press loves two kinds of stories: 1) underdog does cool stuff, and 2) big fat corp stumbles
Google may be ending its period of #1 stories and starting a new period of #2 stories.
At the end of the article, the writer made some kind of slur to the effect of "since they were only looking for lawyers on a contingency basis, they must have a weak case"
To me that sounded like a cheap shot, probably delivered on background over the phone from a Google source. (I have no idea the merits of the case or of this particular story)
You don't need a Google source to recognize a patent troll. Honestly, I don't know why the media even bothers to cover these stories; there seem to be more of them every week and they're virtually all irrelevant.
dont actually know why...but people are starting to paint them a little less heroic-ly than they used to. Perhaps its just cause they're big.
Maybe its the same thing is m$? hmm. food for thought.
