its sad when a company can say they've violated are patents attack with full force, and they attack. goverment has no pride if they were truly there to protect people from these falty devices. then why bust into a puplic exibit with body armour and fully automatic sub-machine guns. why not just stop by the violated both and point people someware else.

a new goverment needs to be formed, just like when kings and queens got the boot.
