Why they f**k dont they dramurai just get together and buy out rambus and end this bloody shenanigans once and for all.

And Rambus is a big part of the problem. Just check out the list of actual patents that were awarded by the USPTO for some really stupid stuff: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/crazy.html 
Given that the new President is an avid fan of the Blackberry and RIM's recent patent troubles, hopefully he will be inspired to fix some of this mess. As for Rambus, I like many wish they would die a slow horrible agonizing death by the very same litigious conduct they have practiced over the years (Now that would be JUSTICE!).

Rambus has to be the worst thing to happen to the computer industry. I'd like to say that the computer industry needs to set up a committee to find a open memory standard with no patent ties, but that's how we got here in the first place because Rambus lacks ethics. Can we expect memory prices to rebound to the levels we saw in the 90s?

The US patent system is badly broken with anyone being able to patent anything. It also expects that its patents be automatically recognized everywhere. The solution to this problem is to isolate the US -- its a big market, certainly, but the short term loss of business is nothing compared to the long term consequences of letting trolls win. If we run out of DRAM or can only get old, slow, less dense technologies, then so be it.

Remember that RAMBUS isn't out to make anything, just monopolize the technology. Even their supposedly propietary technology is just a rehash of what people used to do in the old days (the bus that we're all used to is actually a very modern invention, dating from the early 70s -- before that memory was wired up RAMBUS style).

Rambus should lose and bitterly. It has always patented ALSO existing technologies. The punishment should be 100 trillion USD and if there is not enough money then the shareholders property should be confiscated. That should teach them to not be creedy!
Those bas****s are ruining the business and harrashing the very reason we have REAL patents.
This court idiocy is possible only in USA
