As is Hacker News apparently. It's a trollbait article that say nothing of merit or value. Frankly I'd've said the same were it a story about Android being a rip off of iOS. You 'haters' of whatever denomination are just ridiculous and it's about time you all grow the fuck up.
Did you read the article or just the headline? You can disagree with my conclusions but I think patent policy is an important topic.
How arrogant. Yes I read your opinion piece. As I said, you have said nothing new. You have added nothing to the debate except for regurgitating the same old trite arguments to drive yet another pointless flame war over a topic that is of actual important. And the net result is merely more ill-informed opinion.
