> Apple after the NeXT acquisition but before the iPhone (look how expandable our new PowerMacs are; on the software side, we're now an open-systems-loving Unix vendor, and we'll even open-source our kernel!)
Remember that time (well within the iOS era) that Apple claimed that FaceTime would be an open standard for interoperability?
It's my understanding that the original plan for how FaceTime worked was derailed thanks to Apple losing a patent lawsuit.
Which lawsuit was that? I would be interested in knowing which patent they violated, and who the patent belonged to.
