Did you know MS makes 2 billion a year on Android patents?

After seeing that, I thought it was crazy that Microsoft STILL makes a lot of money from Android patents and is more than most of their products! I know a lot of you want to see software patents go and they probably won't as long as Microsoft has a hand in lobbying.
Here is another interesting stat:
"Sherlund says that if you back out the Android profits, Microsoft is probably losing $2.5 billion on Skype, Xbox, and Windows Phone. Of that, $2 billion in losses are attributable to the Xbox platform."
Once I used to know that patents were to protect someone's work after it
has been released in public, from plagiarism, misuse.

Glad you now know that patents have absolutely nothing to do with that.
It really sucks that free countries have such a law sytem that takes
away the freedom of the people that built it.
