Google and their patents - Watch out parcel companies! - General Topics

Google has some patent butt-whooping to do. But it's against the parcel companies.
http://gizmodo.com/5829978/does-goo...ean-they-have-ups-fedex-and-usps-by-the-balls

To date, Google has remained the only company to not sue for patent infringement. So will they use this to join the dirty game? Perhaps, but I'm guessing not.

SOPA / PIPA - Hacker Manifesto

This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch, the
beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying
for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and
you call us criminals. We explore... and you call us criminals. We seek
after knowledge... and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color,
without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals.
You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us
and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals.
Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is
that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like.
My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me
for. I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual,
but you can't stop us all... after all, we're all alike.
Nice

I hate to have to say this but the majority of people who would actively object to apple are not going to be apple customers and so apple won't take any notice.
I disaprove of their tactics, suing rather than offering a licence, it is done simply to eliminate android as competition but it is also a very effective way to take out competition in general.
Nexus 7 will be an apple target, especially if an ipad mini is released, it is all about control. You are right but your basically calling any passionate android fans to action and they are the very people who apple will listen to the least

We've been a british colony since 1913. It's better for you to go research it yourself, but if you must know, I'll tell you how. Also, our money hasn't been backed by gold, and we haven't OWNED ANY GOLD AT ALL, since 1937.

The flag in Washington's District of Columbia has 3 red stars, each symbolizing a city state within the three city empire. The three city empire consists of Washington D.C., London, and Vatican City. London is the corporate center of the three city states and controls the world economically. Washington's District of Columbia city state is in charge of the military, and the Vatican offers spiritual guidance. The constitution of the district of Columbia operates under a tyrannical roman law known as lex fori, which in no way resembles the U.S. constitution.
When congress passed the act of 1871, it created a separate corporate government for the District of Columbia. This allowed the District of Columbia to operate as a corporation outside the constitution.
If you take a moment to study some signed treaties and charters between the United States and Britain, you will find that the United States has always been a British crowned Colony. In 1606, King James (yes, the King James who revised the bible) signed the charter of Virginia. The charter granted Americas British forefathers a license to settle and colonize America. The charter also guaranteed future kings and queens of England would have sovereign authority over all citizens and colonized land in America.
In 1783, the Paris peace treaty was signed. This treaty identifies the King of England as the prince of the United States contradicting the belief that America won the war of independence. And although King George III of England gave up most claims over his American colonies, he kept his right to continue receiving payments for his business ventures of colonizing America. If America won the war of independence, why would the agree to pay reparations to the king.
When the 13th amendment to the constitution was passed, the U.S. president was made subservient to the King of England. The 13th Amendment (the title of nobility amendment) forbids U.S. officials from using royal titles like king, or prince. For some strange reason though, the 13th amendment which was ratified in 1810 no longer appears in current copies of the U.S. constitution.
The war of independence against the British bankrupted America and turned its citizens into debt slaves of the king. In 1812, the British torched and burned the white house and all U.S. government buildings to the ground, destroying many ratification records of the U.S. constitution.
Then, nearly a century later, a corrupt U.S. congress committed the biggest theft in world history. They passed Paul Warburgs federal reserve act of 1913, handing over Americas gold and silver reserves (and total control of Americas economy) to the federal reserve bank. Most Americans still believe the FED is owned by the government, but it is not. The FED is a privately owned banking system whose majority class A shareholders include the Rothschild's, Warburgs, J.P. Morgan, the Rockefeller's and the Lehman brothers.
Most U.S. citizens believe the United States is a country and the president is its leader, but the U.S. is not a country, it is a corporation, and the president is not our leader, he is the president of the corporation of the U.S. The president, along his elected officials work for the corporation, not for the American People.

I've dedicated the greater portion of my prior-service life to true patriotism. To the poster above shortbus, Zeitgeist is old news, and a FRAUD. It makes some good points and observations, but it is wrought with factual obfuscation and misdirection.
For anyone who might be on the same level as I... they know we are here, they know we are awake, they know they must begin to take action to protect themselves from patriots. The trick on the battlefield has always been, to out-strategize the enemy. America has been classified as a battlefield by the government since the Patriot Act. Only recently have they begun publicly acknowledging it, and taking the necessary steps to creat controlled flashpoints.
I'll say it one more time....

[Patent Wars][REF] Here we go again Android

This thread is about all the challenges Android is going to face in time to come.
What has already been reported on XDA here
Whats taking place now
A patent troll funded by Apple, Microsoft, and a handful of other tech companies is suing Google and a number of its Android partners, including Samsung, HTC, Asustek, and LG.
The lawsuits were filed on Thursday by a tiny company called the Rockstar Consortium, as first reported by Reuters. Rockstar is a new breed of company. It’s jointly owned by five tech giants — Apple, Microsoft, Blackberry, Sony, and Ericsson — and it’s chartered with making back the $4.5 billion these companies pooled together to build its patent portfolio. source
(Reuters) - The group that owns thousands of former Nortel patents filed a barrage of patent lawsuits on Thursday against cell phone manufacturers including Google, the company it outbid in the Nortel bankruptcy auction. source

Google files lawsuit against Apple, Microsoft backed Rockstar patent group

Last Updated: Friday, December 27, 2013, 11:56
Washington: Google has reportedly filed a lawsuit against Apple and Microsoft backed consortium Rockstar, claiming that its patent campaign is unfairly targeting Google's Android partners and customers.
The search giant has alleged that Rockstar's litigation campaign is placing a cloud on Google's Android platform and threatened its sales of Nexus-branded Android devices.
According to Cnet, the lawsuit stated that among the companies included in Rockstar's patent dragnet are customers and partners of Google who use Android OS in their devices ASUS, HTC, Huawei, LG, Pantech, Samsung, and ZTE. In October, Rockstar filed suits against Google and other companies over a host of allegedly infringing patents.

Since 2006, Samsung has ranked No. 2 after IBM in terms of the number of registered patents in the U.S. each year. The Korean electronics giant has around 100,000 patented technologies.
According to market researcher TechIPm, Samsung own 23 percent of the fourth-generation LTE technology patents registered in the U.S.
Google for its part dominates the global mobile OS market. More than 80 percent of smartphones sold around the world are equipped with the Android OS. Google has around 50,000 patents, but though it lags behind Samsung in terms of the sheer number, it is a behemoth in the field of software.

Will a simulated gambling game be banned in the Middle East?

I've been working on this app for quite a while now.
It's a bit of a farming/cooking/simulatedGambling game.
It's in Arabic.
The game is aimed towards middle eastern Gulf countries which are known to be conservative.
| checked a few minutes ago and simulated gambling games are indeed banned in Saudi Arabia (not sure about other Gulf countries though). Even websites that have these sort of games are banned.
Casino games are banned on Google Play but not on IOS for some reason, slot machine games are not banned on both IOS and Android.
There is no money to be earned in my game it's not real gambling (but game has IAP), and the layout of the games aren't similar to Casinos in terms of style and color. Thing is I wanted to make sure the games do not resemble Casinos in any way.
Games included within my game are:
-Slots
-BlackJack (numbers only not card deck)
-mini Roulette
I'm also considering adding
-Street Dice
-Sic Bo (simplified using only 2 dices instead of 3)

Yeah, you should check the rules of Google App and you will understand that it contradicts their policy. In my opinion, it is rather strange to restrict the work of honest official applications like fairspin, for example. It is the choice of everyone to test your luck on such sites or not. The platform is honest and why users can't play also your app I can't understand too. It is like the lottery, but I don't understand why some official lotteries are working without any problems, but casinos are not allowed.

Because the culture there is different, so is the law. Banning gambling is part of the law there, so yeah, anyone considering making a game that may be ressemblent to gambling should try to contact officials that works around those subjects. I don't know very much about how and who to contact tho...
Other countries like China have rules to follow, regarding the content of your app/game.
Make sure to check official texts (if there are, and are available to the public) before publishing or making your app.
I'm not sure that gambling will become more accessible anytime soon.
