Slide to unlock patent
Apple

replaced Germany (decision is appealable) >> FOSS Patents


Samsung and Motorola Mobility by Google just scored a victory on the famous Apple patent UI. The Federal Patent Court, the Federal Patent Court of Germany decided that all applications EP1964022 in "unlocking a device by performing gestures on an unlock image" are not valid given, and further argues that none of the 14 amendments proposed by Apple could save the patent.


... It can and will be appealed by Apple for the Bundesgerichtshof (Federal Court of Justice).

... This patent is not as strategic as it is famous. Each user of a smartphone with a touch gesture must do often, but the patent does not cover every slide to unlock mechanism, but only a few, and Apple's rivals have all developed solutions.

So it's a defeat that was a victory anyway. Most of the invalidation is that it is simply a software solution to a problem - as in Europe, can not be patented deployments that consist solely of software. The United States is different. Y:

opinion Ouya: an indie console can assume Sony and Microsoft? The Verge >>

David Pierce

With Ouya pirate philosophy tends to an aversion to paying for things, so Ouya ordered that all games in your store, you can download free. This sounds like a great, let's-all-hold-hands to great games on the platform, but it leads to something much more frustrating. Every game is free to download, but then spilled into the head of a large number of complaints, pop-ups, and advocacy for improvements or in-app purchases - some games are $ 4.99, some are 15, $ 99, others just beg constantly donate $. 99 so that the developer can have a beer. Worst of all, the purchase makes things very easy - you enter a credit card when you first set up your Ouya, and often there is no confirmation or boxes Analyzing spend thousands of dollars. Oh, you hit upgrade, because it is next to play and the controller is lazy? Perfect. Thank you for your money.


reconfigure

payment systems is a part of what is needed for a developer to move their applications to Android Ouya. The other is (hopefully) more simple applications need to work with the controller. This, as best I can tell, this is a compelling argument for not including the Ouya Play Store or even the Amazon Appstore in the console - a number of existing games simply do not work with the controller, and even those who don t work well. Setting up a game controller is easy, however, if for reasons of Ouya and we hope that developers are now.
