Jonathon Schwartz, former President & CEO of Sun Microsystems offers an insider look at how companies like Apple and Microsoft use patents to bully others.

In 2003, after I unveiled a prototype Linux desktop called Project Looking Glass, Steve called my office to let me know the graphical effects were “…stepping all over Apple’s IP.” If we moved forward to commercialize it, “I’ll just sue you.”

My response was simple. “Steve, I was just watching your last presentation, and Keynote looks identical to Concurrence – do you own that IP?” Concurrence was a presentation product built by Lighthouse Design, a company I’d help to found and which Sun acquired in 1996. Lighthouse built applications for NeXTSTEP, the Unix based operating system whose core would become the foundation for all Mac products after Apple acquired NeXT in 1996. Steve had used Concurrence for years, and as Apple built their own presentation tool, it was obvious where they’d found inspiration. “And last I checked, MacOS is now built on Unix. I think Sun has a few OS patents, too.”

Steve was silent.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has posted some disturbing highlights from the iPhone Developer Program License Agreement.

More than 100,000 app developers have consented to this agreement but are prohibited from making any “public statements regarding this Agreement, its terms and conditions, or the relationship of the parties without Apple’s express prior written approval.”To obtain a copy, the EFF used the Freedom of Information to ask NASA for the copy they signed when releasing their iPhone application.

Disturbing Highlights
- Ban on public statements
- App Store only
- Ban on reverse engineering
- No tinkering with any Apple products
- Kill your app at any time
- We never owe you more than fifty bucks

“Overall, the Agreement is a very one-sided contract, favoring Apple at every turn. That’s not unusual where end-user license agreements are concerned (and not all the terms may ultimately be enforceable), but it’s a bit of a surprise as applied to the more than 100,000 developers for the iPhone, including many large public companies. How can Apple get away with it? Because it is the sole gateway to the more than 40 million iPhones that have been sold.”

According to Oppenheimer’s Yair Reiner, Apple is sending out warning signs to major competing handset manufacturers on it’s displeasure in having the intellectual properties of the iPhone infringed.

“Starting in January, Apple launched a series of C-Level discussions with tier-1 handset makers to underscore its growing displeasure at seeing its iPhone-related IP (intellectual property) infringed.

The lawsuit filed against HTC thus appears to be Apple’s way of putting a public, lawyered-up exclamation point on a series of blunt conversations that have been occurring behind closed doors.

Our checks also suggest that these warning shots are meaningfully disrupting the development roadmaps for would-be iPhone killers.

Rival software and hardware teams are going back to the drawing board to look for work-arounds. Lawyers are redoubling efforts to gauge potential defensive and offensive responses. And strategy teams are working to chart OS strategies that are better hedged.

Reiner says these warnings began over a year ago in January 2009 when Apple COO Tim Cook warned that “we will not stand for having our IP ripped off and we’ll use whatever weapons we have at our disposal. I don’t know that I can be more clear than that.”

After that warning the major handset manufacturers stayed clear of multi-touch. The Palm Pre was an exception but it doesn’t currently represent a strategic threat to Apple. However in late 2009 the Motorola Droid and the HTC Eris arrived.

“Top-tier handset makers continued to avoid implementing multi-touch, but Apple could safely assume that they were hanging back to gauge Apple’s response to Motorola and HTC. If there wasn’t one, the OEMs would likely read the silence as a green light, especially after Google also moved to enable multi-touch on its Nexus One phone.

It was likely in order to counter that perception that Apple began reaching out to handset OEMs in January and explaining in no uncertain terms that it was now ready to do battle – and not just on multi-touch. It was ready to press its case along a number of axes that had made the iPhone experience unique, from the interpretation of touch gestures, to object-oriented OS design, to the nuts and bolts of how hardware elements were built and configured.”

Business man Hitoshi Susumu is behind schedule and is in quite a rush. In fact, he won’t stop once he starts to run! Dashing past samurais, T-Rexes, cowboys, and all manner of wacky obstacles Mr. Susumu must get to the goal as fast as he can for the ultimate 2D dance party.

As we herald in the new range of revolutionary products by Apple this year, starting soon with the Apple iPad, and later in the year, the all new next generation iPhone 4G, let us not forget the accessories that has made this ‘ride’ all the more worthwhile.

Well, what are we rambling on about? You’ll see. Check out the above video clip of some of the latest, greatest, most unique iPhone accessories already out due this year.

HP has posted a couple videos that showcase Adobe Flash running on the upcoming HP Slate. The device is expected to be similar in size to the iPad, run Windows 7, and cost less.

With this slate product, you’re getting a full Web browsing experience in the palm of your hand. No watered-down Internet, no sacrifices. We just posted a quick video showing some more of what that’s like as well as how the slate device will work as an eBook reader. Enjoy the short clip (and the techno soundtrack).

A second video posted above depicts the Adobe Air and Flash in action on the device: Video playback from MTV.com; A Spongebob Squarepants game (most casual games on the Web run in Flash); photo editing at Photshop.com and reading the digital version of the New York Times.

Meet Google. The noun that became a verb. The world’s favourite search engine, and the company whose motto is “Don’t be evil…”

A recent segment about the search giant on Australian news program The Hungry Beast reveals why people are becoming increasing concerned with the integration of Google into our daily lives.
