Google and the patent double talk

Care of SFGate.com.

It’s fair to say that one of the most effective ways to respond to a threatened patent assertion is to be able to assert patents of your own.

- Tim Porter, Google Patent Council

So then the plan is to:

  1. Like what the iPhone is doing
  2. Do a half-ass implementation of that thing you liked
  3. Shit-talk the patent system when the thing you stole gets noticed by who you stole it from
  4. Get your hardware partners sued from now to the end of time

At least they don’t have a corner on anything important, like information storage, indexing, searching and presentation.

Shit.
