Doesn't look like things are going well for the FTC. No en blanc rehearing:

There appear to be a lot of Rambus trolls commenting---Rambus deservedly has a bad reputation for the way they got their patent claims which they now use to collect. Rambus had spies on JEDEC (with wonderful code names like Deep Throat and Secret Squirrel) well after they exited the standards organization. This allowed them to adjust claims in their patents during prosecution to read on the standards being developed by JEDEC for SDRAM, DDRx etc. I recommend reading the FTC investigation report describing their conduct.

Yes, it is quite a list of companies that have been stealing IP from Rambus.

Do you mind if I steal your trademark and use it at my site to sell a few clicks or would you increase the lawyer to hack ratio and sue me?

Just wondering . . .

Hopefully if Rambus keeps this crap up they'll either A) Get investigated for Anti-Trust/Monopoly or B) someone will just go Office Space on them and burn them down. Thats cool with me. 

Technology needs to move forward, not always be taking a step back because of stupid lawsuits over patents on things which probably shouldn't be allowed to be patented. Public domain type classification or something!

But seriously wtf is up with the inq recently. Ive seen like 4 repeated storys in the last 30 days.

Surely your actually paying someone to sit at a desk and approve these things. Perhaps youd better check your not paying one of those drinking birds favoured by Lazy fat men working from home.

At least you dont have to vent gas from afar.

The fact is, that Rambus, which was originally a small team of university professors, invented RAM as we know it. The mere fact that their innovations were successful is not justification for removing their rights. The whole point of awarding patents is to enable the intellectual creators to benefit.
