Just wondering - it is my imagination, or does the ink in the signature block of
the FTI / Adams declaration change between Washington and DC and between the A
in "William A" and Adams?[ Reply to This | # ]

Google's bill of costs contains nearly $3 million (more than
half the
total) in claimed
recoverable expenses in the category "Fees for
exemplification and the costs of making copies of any
materials where the
copies are necessarily obtained for use
in the case."
Unless they
have a truly prodigious amount of photocopying
that was required, I assume (the
specific schedule of costs
is sealed) that these costs are related to
"Exemplification." What does that term mean in this
context, and what would
be some examples of "big ticket"
items that would fall under this category?[ Reply to This | # ]

Maybe Google should have pointed out in their filing that the costs to
Oracle would have been far lower if BSF wasn't involved.
Mind BSF might be winning other cases, but they seem to be on a loosing
streak whenever software is involved.

Since Oracle won on limited copyright grounds I think this Judge is unlikely to
award costs beyond the limited costs he already awarded for Oracle's third try
at an expert report.
Google's costs here seem to be their costs for the whole case, well beyond what
the Judge previously awarded and in line with Google's motion for all costs as
the prevailing party, something that is somewhat problematic since arguably the
decisions were split.
OK go ahead and flame me as a troglodyte.

"Live Query Search" = Apple's "Universal Search"
Thermonuclear Weapon... NOT!!!
Judge Lucy Koh has to be near comatose to not realize this
"Universal Search" patent is totally invalid for many
reasons. First off the patent was improperly granted w/o
being tested for validity when first submitted in 2000
(contained no algorithms to support it's claims), basically
just an outline of a "Live Query Search Engine" feature w/o
fully demonstrating one minus Google's algorithms in the mix
too! .....Siri therefore is limited and does not constitute
their own definition in this patent. They're using it only
in an attempt to slow down Android!
Keep in mind that Universal Search goes back to PDA's in
the 80's and 90's. It's desktop incarnations in the mid to
late 90's supplies an enormous wealth of Prior Art. This
patent requires that the file system be hierarchical in
nature w/ journal'd directory structures. Such as those used
on BeOS BFS (not HFS+) for it's "Universal Instant Live
Query = 'FIND' tool in BeOS Tracker". That was actually more
database like than file system like and it was better n
faster w/o database limitations.
Where Universal Search meant exactly what it says it is....
Universal Live Search Query over the entire drive, network
and could include Internet, used in searching out and
delivering proper answers..... instantly, or near so,
depending on connection speeds.
That was the aim of Apple when they hired the very same
engineer who wrote BFS so that Apple HFS+ could use Tracker
Find - like features more efficiently. On BeOS Tracker FIND
could even use it's own NetPossitive Browser engine on the
web! So.... Apple hired Dominic Giampaolo of BeOS BFS Fame.
After they failed to come up with a solution to replace
Finder (limited search tool) on original HFS as well as HFS+
systems.
This file system was a mess and no doubt still is in many
people's eyes. But Dominic was not allowed to write a ground
up file system to replace HFS+ even. So instead they ended
up with him supplementing HFS+ with BFS style metadata
tagging in a sub file system embedded in HFS+. That in
reality is only half good at delivering a True Live
Universal Search tool. So by Dominic going to work on
Apple's Spotlight Search, improving metadata file structures
w/ attributes stored in the files themselves, he was at
least able to deliver a somewhat limited version of his own
BeOS Tracker FIND "Universal Search" Engine..... in
Spotlight.
This was an attempt to make Spotlight at least somewhat
closer to Apple's present patent, than Apple FINDER ever was
to BeOS Tracker FIND Instant Search. Basically they had to
import features already being used by Beagle on Linux and
just do it in a more limited way. They therefore ended up
keeping it just short of being a full Universal Live Query
Search Engine w/o demonstrating their own algorithms to
validate their claims in the first place. By this time
against a myriad of prior art implementations already doing
what this patent had been written for... back in 2000!
Then more recently Spotlight was further stripped and down
ported to iOS. This version is even more limited than
Apple's desktop version by the fact that unlike BeOS w/ BFS
(that already supported online protocols natively in it's
file system).
Spotlight remains a limited Universal Search Engine w/o
harnessing Google's Search Engine algorithms in the first
place. In all reality this couldn't even pass Apple's own
Universal (Instant Live) Query Search patent, this pretends
to be in the first place.
So now 7 full years after Spotlight was born and Apple has
still failed to fully demonstrate this Invention Patent w/
it's own valid implementation, that couldn't ever be fully
implemented (for things like email, etc on it's present file
system). Especially since they have no code/algorithms of
their own to validate it in the first place. Linux, Google
and Microsoft have already proved versions of Universal
Search and it's been being used on Android devices since it
launched. Now it seems Apple is trying to rewrite history.
By not explaining the fact that their "Universal Search
Patent" can't even RUN on an HFS+ file system used by both
Apple's OS-X or iOS file system!
So we are headed for a point, where Google is going to join
this Samsung case on at least "Universal Search" and have
Dominic testifying against his own employer..... Apple. In
support of his own prior art on BeOS Tracker FIND features.
What's so great about this all..... is this guy can't deny
his past writings and code work done prior to working for
Apple. He therefore can not deny that this "Universal
Search" patent has prior art, he himself wrote!

R/click copy n paste into address bar!
If Apple fans are Religious Lunatics on the loose for
Apple..... John Gruber is leading the pack. Writing in his
stereotypical blinded "Doublethink" fanatical Apple loving
style, he exposes many facts here. First off that without
Google, they don't have a Universal Search tool in
Spotlight.... either on Macs or iOS devices to brag about or
even validate their own patent![ Reply to This | # ]
