I hope RAMBUS(new dirty word meaning: Fucking douche bag shithole, shortended version) looses EVERYTHING, personaly, they are the worst technology company I know, next to alienware and voodoo.

But for shitsake, roalty on all ddr? go fuck yourself rambus.

To me the facts seem simple. Rambus was participating in standardizing DDR ram and then goes off to patent the very ideas it's pushing to include in the DDR standard so that it can charge royalties once the standard is widely used. It's like "Hey remember when I was helping you guys make this cool new ram? Well surprise I went behind your backs and claimed key technologies so now you all owe me money on this 'standard', now pay up."

I wonder what argument they used to sway the jury?

Seagate is doing the same by suing companies for making SSD.

Companies and corporations are getting worst over the years because they always want to be the first to get an idea and take whatever is not theres. At least Xerox did not play hard ball when computer nerds took the idea of a GUI environment and pointing device. Companies and corporations need to learn from Xerox which is make products and show it to people. If the product is not patent, go on doing other business. Companies and corporation need to understand to get patents first before giving technology to the world instead going backwards fighting for their rights which was lost after giving away.

RAMBUS just played stupid and we as consumers have to pay for it. Micron go kick their ass for me and other consumers.
