Can he hear the very words he is writing? How dare another company "steal" what Google stole from someone else? The irony is unbelievable.

Check out Foss Patents, the irony between Google and its IP versus Apple, MS, Oracle, etc. is mind blowing.

Just wait 'till Rubin hears about Tizen. It's backed by the Linux foundation, and its not-for-profit consortium's Board of Directors is composed of Huawei, Intel, NEC, NTT DOCOMO, Orange, Panasonic, Samsung, SK Telecom, Sprint, Telefonica and Vodafone.

And, unlike Android, Tizen is truly free and truly open source.

Some people say "open always wins." Your mileage may vary, Rubin.

Rubin is such a loose cannon, that he may be the best asset to any company litigating against Android. That part of the Miranda warning about "anything you say, can and will be used against you" goes double for civil cases. He loves to throw stuff out on Google+ or Twitter, before all of the restraint synapses fire. The appeal for the Oracle Java suit against Google/Android is just getting started, and you can be sure that this will be discovered into the appeals record.

He's not saying they 'stole' from Android, he's calling them out for saying they aren't running android when they are.

Oh, right, you can't look at things correctly, since you have such hatred for google since you feel they stole everything from Apple.

Um, it's on Google+. You don't need discovery to find this.

And what part about it will rock Google's foundation in the appeal? At best, this sounds more like ammunition for Oracle to go after the Aliyun OS.

Um, I'm sure he's heard about it.

Oooh, samsung is on the board? They're really reputable, right! And Intel sure won't have any conflicts of interest as they try to drive the software, I'm sure.

Oh, and at least it has the Linux foundation behind it. The geniuses who can't even decide on a GUI framework (we need two!), because they don't want to be seen as telling people what to do.

And also the geniuses who wait four years to come out with a major update to a kernel, and then issue it with a maintenance release number.

And they've done so well pushing linux to the desktop and standardizing on that, too.

And, unlike Android, Tizen is truly free and truly open source.

So are you trying to say Android is screwed because they'll be conquered by the open tizen (which, in turn, will then crush the iOS, apparently)? Or that no open software can win, so tizen will lose as bad as Android.

What's hillarious is how everyone always touts the iOS as being great because it is controlled by Apple, and therefore it has direction and focus and all that. And then they mock Google for trying to put direction and focus on Android. Make up your minds.

Trolltudo, is English not your first language? That would explain much about your incredibly poor reading comprehension and inability to use logic (or, for that matter, facts).

He's saying that Aliyun STOLE parts of Android and are calling it their own OS.

And yes, the irony is delicious.

Well, then show me where in his statement is he accusing them of 'stealing' parts of android and calling it their own. That's like saying I stole Linux to make testudoix. I can sit around all day denying it's based on linux, and the linux herd can mock me all they want for pretending it isn't it, but as long as I don't violate the license, I'm not stealing a blasted thing. BTW, the only difference between them and amazon's use is that amazon admits it.

But I guess it all depends on your definition of 'theft'.

And I know it doesn't matter, for since you 'know' google stole everything they could from apple to make android, then google is the enemy now, along with samsung, microsoft, oracle, sun, intuit, toshiba, etc, etc, etc, etc. And Google's crimes were so heinous, that is why Apple is suing them. Oh, wait, they aren't.
