"Android patent royalties"

Quite simple really, MS believe Android infringes on their royalties, so shake down all the smaller Android makers for their share.
I don't believe its been tested in the courts yet.

I'm wondering what MS technologies they are using.

If by "smaller Android makers" you mean everyone except Googlerolla I'll agree with you; otherwise when even Samsung has settled with Redmond your statement rather deceptive IMO.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Got an email asking me to join the App Builder Rewards program. I figured what the hell and wasted twenty minutes. The site is a disaster. It's slow, poorly formatted, poorly implemented, requires you create endless accounts on all sorts of crap without telling you why you need to. It's truly pathetic.

I don't expect thia to happen at all. They went overboard when rhey saw things going down the drain and now get cazier every time they try the next great idea and fail again.

I was on Google a while ago, typed in a search and clicked on the appropriate choice that popped up. The stupid game of gayness started. A few elephants and sunshines I rebbooted the machine cause the Mike Hunt wouldn't stop.
Elephant you Google you sad elephant that watched that gormless shithole of a program. Fair dinkum, it must have been gloomy and shite of a place to live in Engerland 60's and 70's. If that was the best sh*t they had on TV I can't believe you all didn't neck yourselves.
Skippy The Bush Kangaroo was Shakespearean in comparison. The only goog thing about dr shite was that blonde in the new series that started 3-5 years ago. My son got into it and I had to watch and I spent all my time thinking Hey twat, bend her over and give her a bit, this whole scenario is sh*t. Women's tennis is a better dose of entertainment.

Michael Martin, singlehandedly confirming every stereotype of Austrailians being misogynistic ignorant racists.
OK, I leaped a bit for racist, but given the rest of the content of your post it somehow wouldn't surprise me.

Yet still way better than being a whinging Pom living in Engerland.

Indeed. A paraplegic elephant with a quill up its arse would post more legible posts than your good self.
That doesn't mean to say we don't enjoy your posts, though.

Oh, does it bring back memories. Got out of the service just as this hit the airwaves and temporarily moved in with my parents. I just had to get "a place of my own"!
