Much better understanding from this than from the reporters tying to be
fashionably cool and acting bored.
Its a trial about patents regarding software...

Who would have thought it. @_@

Yes, thanks!
Now I finally know what the patents are supposed to be about
and why Google is not too worried. They really do not
infringe either one.

Not one mention of fashion or temperature of the courtroom. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Thanks to our reporters. The details you all provide are just not available
elsewhere. The work required to do this is much appreciated.

Much ado about nothing.
The report is terrific. I could almost see the slides and animations. The tweets
turn out to be of little value (it's not your fault, feldgast. It was all we
had, so thank you).
The tweets even ascribe the jokes to the wrong person.
I hope our lady reporter is feeling better. Update 3 proved to be a fine leaping
off point to keep in touch with the proceedings.
Thanks, again.
