Google's looming patent hammer in the cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| Google has been a fairly benevolent steward of its intellectual property thus
| far, and let's hope that continues. But if Google has the opportunity to
| squash Microsoft's cloud efforts even as Microsoft seeks to head off threats
| from Google's forays into "desktop" applications, I'm not sure I'd be betting
| on benevolence.
