Rambus LOL ... (They could possibly win the award for being the worst patent trolls ever!) 

Indeed.

What annoys me is that Rambus patented obvious patents on memory technologies and forced the entire DRAM market to pay licensing fee's, so we the consumers have to pay extra for that cost, be it mobile phones, games consoles or a PC, heck even your smart TV, all has money going to Rambus, the crooks.

It holds back development, which is what the patent system is designed to prevent, but fails to accomplish.

Thankfully Intel's push to make Rambus the only memory manufacturer on the PC, backfired, thanks to the likes of Via, SiS et-all releasing SDR based chipsets. :)

I think their last lawsuit was with nvidia or so ?
