<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1204/jamesgosling-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Java pioneer James Gosling has criticized Google for the tactics it used in going without a Java license for Android.  He argued that, despite former Sun chief Jonathan Schwartz saying Sun couldn't sue Google, the decision to skip a license still hurt the company.  Google "totally slimed" Sun, and even Schwartz was tolerating the action rather than endorsing it....]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1203/android-graffiti.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Oracle may have run into an obstacle in its lawsuit against Google during testimony by former CEO Jonathan Schwartz.  Despite Oracle's own CEO Larry Ellison being unsure if Java was free to use for Android's framework, Schwartz said the programming interfaces were always cleared for free use and weren't proprietary.  Sun didn't sue Google over its early Android use as it didn't feel it "had any gr...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1203/android-galaxynexus.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Oracle and Google may be pressed into settling a lawsuit over Java patents faster after Judge Paul Grewal ordered more settlement talks.  Despite having dramatically lowered damages earlier in the week, at least Google's mobile VP Andy Rubin and Oracle CFO Safra Catz would have to meet before April 9.

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1203/android-graffiti.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Requests for Oracle to lower its damage requests in its lawsuit against Google have pushed its claims on Android damages far lower than it originally wanted.  Having wanted figures that approached $2.6 billion, it has come to the view that the total damages it's owed are less than $50 million.  Even when using a method that favors Oracle, the two patents and group of copyrights would claim damages...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1202/eolaswebpatent.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Eolas' attempt to patent the "interactive web" may have been dealt a permanent blow after a jury in the normally patent lawsuit-friendly town of Tyler, Texas ruled that the patent was invalid.  The decision negated both any attempts at claiming damages and also negated three future trials.  The rejection came in part after testimony from the spiritual creator of the web, Tim Berners-Lee, as well a...]]></description>

Former Sun engineer and Google's Chief Java Architect Joshua Bloch said it was "likely" based on code structure that he had accessed Sun code and used it to make a system sort borrowed from the Python language, TimSort.  He downplayed it as only...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1107/android-htckeychain2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Oracle has tried to cover up some of Sun's support of Android in its attempts to back its lawsuit against Google.  The company deleted a blog post from 2007 (cached) from the then head of Sun, Jonathan Schwartz, not only accepted Google's use of Java in Android but gave "heartfelt congratulations" for its use.  Visiting the direct link now produces a 404 error....]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1107/android-htckeychain2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Google in a joint reply Wednesday gave signs that it was willing to settle Oracle's lawsuit over Java in Android.  After repeatedly trying to reject any claims, Google asked for the case claims to be narrowed down so it could negotiate an "informal resolution," or a settlement.  It's unclear whether Oracle was at all receptive to the idea....]]></description>
