Yes, another person who rejects the unsupported boogieman claims and looks
to the evidence.

The bane of the herd.

In other words you want me to do research for you... and you want me to find
accusations which may or may not be true and may or may not back your claim.

No thank you!

Getting money for nothing?  No, I do not forgive those that produce and sell
Android for getting money for nothing... no more than I would if MS or
someone else were doing so.

So you disagree with the patents.  Got it.  So?

Yes, the system is screwed up... but that is not the fault of MS.  And how
else should MS and Apple and others handle those who plagiarize their work?
How should those who Apple and MS plagiarize handle it?  Just accept it and
give up on trying to be fair and reasonable?
