Lots of opionon, no gfacts
Congratulations, this is one of the most fact-free replies masquerading as actual human thought these pages have ever seen. The fact that you attack the original post as opinion not fact is even funnier.

Microsoft takes the Android profit, the Wonkas take the pain

#1 Have you been following Apple and its many suits against Samsung and Oracle against Google? There are dozens of IP lawsuits against Android right now. The difference is, MSFT offers a reasonable licensiing option that makes sense for the handset manaufactueres and their downstream partners.
#2 Samsung has over 100,000 patents worldwide. It is one of the most famously astute IP licensing and management companies in the world. It just agreed to pay significant royalties over patents it obviously reviewed extensively from both a technical and legal perspective. The fact that they signed a licensing agreement rather fight or wait for Motorola patents to come to Google clearly shows the strength of the patents.

Defending Google
Matt - How can you defend Google? They contribute almost nothing to OSS, they made sure GPLv3 did not require them to give back any contributions to the community and their "open" Andorid platform isn't. Instead, they market openness and deliver fragmentation.
Are you saying that as long as they use linux they are good open source guys? That's worse than foolish.
