Just who is being an ass with respect to patents? Apple wants people to stop blatantly ripping off their stuff. Microsoft is desperate for a piece of the action. But Google? They want to abuse open standards and charge usurious royalties on patents they didn't invent. It sure feels like sometime around when Android started taking off, they traded "don't be evil" for "the ends justify the means".
