Google Takes Rockstar To Court Over Nortel Patents
Notice which Android OEM is conspicuously missing from the list of the oppressed...
Sony.
When Apple went to court against Samsung over patent infringement, they trotted out a Nokia Windows Phone as an example of a device that does not infringe on their patents, but they also trotted out... a Sony Android device... as an example of a non-infringing Android device. Yet, everyone else in Android is getting attacked as infringing on something somewhere, whether they are being attacked by Microsoft (HTC), by Apple (Samsung), or by Rockstar (almost everybody). Who gets a pass? Sony. Why?

I used to have more specific items, but after I posted them on my business website a couple years back, they were taken down and I was put out of business. It was a public intervention over my alleged schizophrenic behavior, and so I was later diagnosed and adjudicated insane, then put on disability. So, because it is all so sketchy, I'll just leave that part of it alone.
Even without going to any direct evidence, the behaviors sort of tell it like it is. Apple and Microsoft have been VERY nice to Sony, even while being very harsh to just about everyone else in the Android world.
