That isn't a response to Google's accusations. If anything, it's a rebuttal of the validity of the patents as innovation-supporting techniques.

Oh, actually it just looks lazily similar to Techcrunch's Google Threw A Punch, Microsoft Fires Back With A Missile.

Seems as though these big corporations have figured out a way to circumvent being charged as a monopoly, by banding together and purchasing patents. No matter which way you look at it, it will stifle innovation.
Can you say cartel? Not that a cartel is a bad thing, look how great the oil cartel has been for us.

If your fish seems sick, put it back in the water.

This just shows that they will file a lawsuit in a heartbeat! However, they try to restrict you and me, by calling our lawsuits frivilous???

Don't forget about the Central Banking Cartel as well that has gotten the whole world into debt through fiat currency printed out of thin air.
Your absolutely right, I just thought the oil cartel was more identifiable to most.
They are getting bolder all the time unfortunately.
