Earlier this week, Microsoft re-signed an Android patent-protection pact with I-O Data for an undisclosed amount.
You don't say? A patent protection pact. So they don't even try to hide the fact that it was a mafia-style protection racket all along now?
"Such a nice business you got there. You wouldn't want it to be dragged in Court and lose millions or hundreds of millions of dollars? Why not just pay us this tiny $5 fee per phone, forever, instead, for an OS we never participated in creating?"
