Personally, I think the judge is at fault. I don't really give a shit about a patent that was slept on for so long. We are in a dynamic time, things move quickly and live or die based on the acceptance of a few months.
We are talking YEARS here folks! What hole did they have their heads in that they just felt like doing it now??!!
So to award $500million and cause pain and sufffering for everyone that is involved in developing we pages, from client to programmer, WILL have an impact on the industry, and, in turn, anyone that views the web.That, to me, is way short sighted. Give the guys some f*ckin' money, and send 'em home!! For those of us that only build a few sites a year, more code sucks and will take time, which will cost the client more, which will make it a less valuable service.
This is basically like taking the buttons off a coat and saying 'oh, you gotta buy those - extra' , and the analogies could go on and on.
