Makes no sense to me either but since Motorola is a US company as well, MS might have found an opening.

Banning Windows sales in entire Germany is no child's game, if enforced and then reversed Motorola might go bankrupt. Simple as that.
While I don't know the patents, the MPEG-LA can only protect against the patents that are committed to that specific portfolio.

Even if Motorola are a member of the MPEG-LA, if they are suing for a patent that they have not committed to the MPEG-LA, then Microsoft have no protection.

About the worst that could happen is Motorola get kicked out of MPEG-LA.

The larger problem is the cult of "Big O" and its use as a form of signalling in interviews.

If I wanted to test whether a candidate understood Big O, I'd ask them if there was a difference between O(1) and O(0). What these companies want is to see if the candidate understands program performance in general. Big O is the vogue (in my view misguided) way to do that.
It will be interesting to see what happens when Microsoft uninstalls Windows 7 from all those machines. How is this recall going to be done?!?

You don't get it do you.

EVERY company in the industry has now been given carte blanche to completely ignore FRAND principles and sue everyone after a standard has been adopted.

This is the worst precedent to hit the industry in a long time.
Live by the sword, die by the sword. I don't feel bad for Microsoft. It's just a testament that a patent war helps no one, not even the companies with a lot of patents that were the aggressors. In the end it's just mutual destruction.

I mean, Microsoft even went after companies to pay them royalties for ChromeOS...really, Microsoft?! I hope Motorola does the same to them now and asks for royalties for Windows 7. Something tells me they'll get a lot more for it.
There is no recall, just a sales ban. Actually there is no sales ban yet either - Motorola has been prohibited from enforcing it. This is non-news, in two weeks some solution will be found and very few people will ever know or care about this issue.
So the one in your pocket is just a phone to make calls and nothing else? No GPS? No sensors or something? Gyro? If so, I don't think it's a winner.
What gentleman's agreement ? Companies have always sued each other over patents since they were introduced.

What IS new is abusing the principles of FRAND that underpins every standard today. I mean what is going to happen if some 2-bit patent holder of the WiFi standard decides to hold everyone to ransom and demand $1000 per patent license ?

Google could not be more evil if they tried right now.

That is probably the classiest way I've seen yet to do the second problem. Since I gave Python code above, here it is for your version:

>>> from random import shuffle
>>> def test(n, missing, extra):
... t = [i if i != missing else extra for i in range(1, n + 1)]
... shuffle(t)
... return t
...
>>> def solve(list):
... diff, diffsq, n = 0, 0, 1
... for i in list:
... diff += i - n
... diffsq += i*i - n*n
... n += 1
... sum = diffsq / diff
... return {'extra': (sum + diff)/2, 'missing': (sum - diff)/2}
...
>>> solve(test(7633507, missing=3518688, extra=4057456))
{'missing': 3518688L, 'extra': 4057456L}
The irony is that they're able to stop all their security updates, even self-destroy with their home-calling mechanisms.

I'd love it if Motorola went all-in about it.
Here's to the pattern continuing in the case of Oracle. They are a blight.
It basically makes every single field part of your public API. Once somebody starts consuming that field directly you can never remove it or change it or replace it with a synthetic property.

The glass half empty or half full? It's funny to hear people complain because "Help me Obi-Wan" isn't quite ready for prime time. All these "cool" phones, tablets, etc are funding more R&D for the advances that will lead to the phone (or glasses) being the only device that you need.

Now, if you could only get consumer robotics kicked started, we'll have our droids much sooner.

Also, leveraging Rightmove, good move.

I don't think you understand. How can you switch from the one to the other if they're separate technologies? Going on foot is not a substitute for driving a car when we're talking about transporting 100 refrigerators from a port to a warehouse 300 km inland, it's only a substitute when we're talking about transporting a person less than a few kilometers and when time is of little importance.

That's not to say that there are no alternatives to relational databases or SQL, but the leap to 'oh then NoSQL will take over' doesn't make much sense.
It's no news that German courts are favored for patent infringements, because they mostly play well.

I've even seen a reportage about this topic, that covers why large companies fight patent lowsuits in Germany. It's because Germany has understood how to capitalize on this "new market".

Tax route optimizations, patent-pool leverage, secret partnership agreements, HR Capital squeezers, talent headhunters, innovation buyout..is that out of an "imperators guide to the 21st century"?

It says something that Microsoft is the only company that has been sued so far. May be Apple will be next, but these are the companies that initiate patent wars against their competitors. Now that the companies are hitting back, you think it is a bad precedent ? I'd be more worried if they start doing it to smaller companies than giants like these.
At least the sum needs ~log(N^2) bits. We typically assume that stuff fits in the native word size and thus takes a single cycle independent of the actual length of the number, but that's obviously not actually true (for numbers >= 2^32 or 2^64, etc.)

Googled? What about reading the linked-to page? It's right there, after all. Even "above the fold", for some value of current screen resolution.
They sometimes take on too much. They are very ambitious.
Not if it leads to patent-backed FRAND being abandoned for something better, like allowing standards to be freely implemented by anyone at no cost regardless of who claims patents on them and then standards committees can spend their time on engineering not lawyering, politics and FUD.

Companies have always sued each other over patents
since they were introduced.

That's bullshit, as software companies suing each other is a new phenomenon. Otherwise you would have heard of IBM suing Microsoft and Oracle into oblivion from the 90'ties.

What really started this trend was Apple entering the mobile space with the iPhone, suing and getting sued by others. God forbid other companies following this trend. Considering how Nokia is doing these days, imagine if they started suing everybody else with their huge GSM-related portfolio. Or IBM, which has such a huge portfolio that it most likely touches on everything technology-related.

We are really heading heads on to a full war in the software industry that will cripple innovation, with the winners being those that produce less products then everybody else.

I'm not naive enough to believe that copying your friend's Range Rover takes anything away from him. I understand that.

It takes away from the people who design, manufacture and sell Range Rover vehicles.

To turn that analogy on its head -- identity theft is also not 'stealing'. I haven't taken anything away from the original holder of that identity, as they are decidedly still who they are. That doesn't make it victimless, and it certainly doesn't make it right.
But people DO seem to be surprised / disappointed that Apple is enforcing this draconian policy when in fact they have already been enforcing it for months as can be seen in the Kindle app and many others. And this is what I don't understand.
Call me an optimist. But I think some time soon there will be such a ridiculous lawsuit, that even politicians/the electorate will see that it's time to review IP laws.

Conflict International
It's not clear that Motorola didn't offer "fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms" for licensing. Microsoft claims licensing would cost them $4bn/year; Motorola disputes this claim.

Also, who is to say that $4bn/year isn't "fair" when video is an essential part of Microsofts products?

Don't get me wrong, I hate patents as much as everyone else here, but I still think this lawsuit poses as a very nice example of why free video/audio codecs are important.

We had the same shit with LZW/GIF patents a decade earlier and all the warnings were ignored and laughed at ("Nerds with tinfoil hats" ~Gruber). Microsoft (and Apple) doesn't deserve better for their arrogant stance on this issue.

My time as a system administrator makes me rather fond of logging as text into files. They're simple, easy to scale, to rotate, to compress and to throw away. One variation on this theme that I read about recently is to produce log lines as JSON objects rather than more "traditional" printf-formatted text.

This gives machine readability but also makes for really simple tools for extracting whatever "traditional" log lines you like. (see: https://github.com/trentm/json) You can also easily add new fields without breaking existing log parsing code.

I believe I first read about logging in JSON here: http://journal.paul.querna.org/articles/2011/12/26/log-for-m...

"beanplating" was a new one for me:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=beanplating
Assuming the US court does end up ruling (even partially) in Oracle's favour, this would serve to make the U.S. an even less attractive location to start a startup than it already is due to current and proposed violations of basic human and civil rights by the government in order to protect content copyright holders (i.e. the interests represented by the MPAA and RIAA)[Citing Kim Dotcom/Megaupload, SOPA/PIPA/CISPA]. I postulate that this might result in a perfect storm of conditions that result in the shifting of the centre of gravity of the startup, and eventually wider entrepreneurial/financial worlds off American shores for the first time in more than a century, perhaps to Europe, due to a more conducive legislative environment, or, more intriguingly, to India or perhaps Brazil (assuming they get their governments in order). The advantages of the Silicon Valley ecosystem are still massive, but they would, in such circumstances, erode over a (not necessarily very long) period of time.

Links to patents? I haven't been able to find them.

I notice that people are very quick to attack Microsoft here, despite the fact that a great many parties have been touting h.264 as a standard to adopt, and acting like it wasn't a morass of patents and lawsuits waiting to happen. Granted, one of those parties was Microsoft.

Depending on what's in the patents at issue, maybe there is a lesson here about making sure that the standards we approve of aren't encumbered by patents.
