Google 吃不到葡萄，開始叫酸了

沒想到英文也是這麼說的 sour grapes LOL
Google 應為出價太低，在北電，Novell專利爭奪戰中敗北。 今天開始裝可憐了。
聲稱這是一場 “a hostile, organized campaign… waged through bogus patents.”

這高數大家，世界上根本沒有什麼”不做惡“的公司，只有永恆的利益。


Summary: Apple and Microsoft thought that the Nortel and Novell patents were worth more than Google did, so they paid more for them. Now Google whines about it on its official blog? Sounds like sour grapes.


If you haven’t read it yet, read Google Senior Vice President and Chief Legal Officer, David Drummond’s post When patents attack Android. In it Drummond complains about Google’s losing the recent Nortel and Novell patent auctions to rivals Apple and Microsoft.

Drummond believes that Microsoft, Oracle, Apple and others are colluding against Google in “a hostile, organized campaign… waged through bogus patents.” He goes on to say:


They’re doing this by banding together to acquire Novell’s old patents (the “CPTN” group including Microsoft and Apple) and Nortel’s old patents (the “Rockstar” group including Microsoft and Apple), to make sure Google didn’t get them; seeking $15 licensing fees for every Android device; attempting to make it more expensive for phone manufacturers to license Android (which we provide free of charge) than Windows Phone 7; and even suing Barnes & Noble, HTC, Motorola, and Samsung. Patents were meant to encourage innovation, but lately they are being used as a weapon to stop it.

ZDNet’s Larry Dignan notes that Google is lashing out because it’s being litigated from all sides:


Google’s Android platform faces legal threats on a number of fronts at the moment, ranging from disputes with Oracle about patent infringement over Java to several manufacturers (namely Samsung and HTC) that have developed mobile devices (i.e. smartphones and tablets) based on Android to be engaged in multiple lawsuits with Apple.

One of Drummond’s main points is about the rising prices of patents:


This anti-competitive strategy is also escalating the cost of patents way beyond what they’re really worth. The winning $4.5 billion for Nortel’s patent portfolio was nearly five times larger than the pre-auction estimate of $1 billion.

Who’s to say what’s “way beyond what they’re really worth,” anyway? Apple and Microsoft obviously thought that the patents were worth more than Google did, so they paid more for them. It’s as simple as that. Google was interested enough to bid pi billion, but when it got outbid it whines about it on its official blog. Sounds like sour grapes to me.

這是Google當時應為想獨吞專利而不願意跟人聯合競標的一份拒絕信

世间事莫非如此。

有的时候很想不明白Google，公司那么有钱, 它既然用Java， 当Sun那么便宜出售的时候它不出手，导致Oracal 现在拿Java 卡它，现在买专利的时候，作为第一候选，居然也舍不得多出点钱，现在又来叫屈了。
历史上，微软以前就因为Java的问题赔了Sun大笔的钱。
