Nokia not blocking multiple users on Android phones
Authored by: SpaceLifeForm on Thursday, November 01 2012 @ 02:56 PM EDT
Yeah, it would be pretty difficult to get away with
that attack, since it is *nix based, and documented
that Android purposely uses different userids for
each app that is installed.

And if they try to argue that they mean different users
as in people, well, who cares if you let someone else
use your phone? Certainly not the provider. They
just want the money.

So if this report is acurrate, then they realize that
continuing the attack was likely to backfire.

You are being MICROattacked, from various angles, in a SOFT manner.

Nokia not blocking multiple users on Android phones
Authored by: JamesK on Thursday, November 01 2012 @ 03:54 PM EDT
Lessee how this would play out if true.

Android is built on Linux.
Linux and Unix before it has had multiple users for decades.
Now, when Android is run on smart phones it's supposedly in violation of a Nokia
patent.
So, Nokia is patenting something that's been around for decades and somehow
moving the software from a regular computer to a smart phone makes multiple
users a new invention???

The patent provided security by limiting access rights to particular programs according to user id. This is a report about the prior art reasons that the claims were rejected.

Software Patents: It's the disclosed functions in the patent, stupid!
