i read the source, Rockstar bidco is getting 6000 patents, apple is getting novell.

google would be acquiring 17000 patents and the IP rights to 6800 applications, relevant to wireless communications.

looks to me like google picked the right buyout to participate in.

hahaha! it will be so damn funny if apple decided to sue for LTE, i mean, c'mon, iPhone won't have LTE in the next 5 years.. that's how apple is moving in terms of technology..

"the DoJ specifically pointed out that "Apple would likely benefit significantly through increased sales of its devices if it could exclude Android-based phones from the market or raise the costs of such phones through IP-licenses or patent litigation." However, the Novell patents are unlikely to be exploited in that way.."

What in Apple's history allows the DoJ to even come to this conclusion and say that with a straight face? Such a farce it's not even funny.
