> I don't have a tremendous amount of sympathy for any large company like Google, Oracle, Apple, Amazon, etc. who get sued for silly patent 'infringements' because they would do the same in a heartbeat. ALL software patents should be abolished.

Google would?

Google, Oracle, Apple, Amazon

One of these things is not like the others.

Google starts with a consonant?

Apple is only 5 characters? Amazon doesn't end in "le"? Oracle is the only one in the second half of the alphabet? Google is the only one whose name isn't also a thing? Apple is the only edible thing? Apple only has two vowels the others have three? Apple doesn't have an "o"?

Google, Oracle and Apple are all symbols of knowledge?
