Android Overload: Everyone Is Guilty Of Patent Infringement, Google Plus Is On The Decline and More
Greetings, Phandroidians. There was a lot of legal news (generally the kind that I hate) so I decided to dump a lot of that into the Android Overload for tonight. This is your one stop – place to shop, for all the little things that didn’t make it onto our illustrious front page. ITC has been busy with all these patent lawsuits. Apparently everyone is guilty of patent infringement in some way. When are they finally going to call a truce and end the madness!? Good night!
