Following a jury finding that Google had not infiringed upon Oracles patents, a development described as
a near disaster
for the database company,
Judge William Aslup
has ruled that
the Java APIs cannot be copyrighted
. That leaves Oracle with only the
9 lines of rangeCheck code
and a handfull of decompiled test files to show for the massivecourt case. CEO Larry Ellison remains confident, claiming that
the aquisition of Java creator Sun has still paid for itself
.

"Developers ask us if they should build client apps that mimic or reproduce the mainstream Twitter consumer client experience. The answer is no." - Not long after saddling it's own iOS client with some
unpopular new "features"
Twitter is
saying no to the development of new competing clients
. Existing clients such as
Twitterific
and
Echofon
should be unaffected.

This week Microsoft unveiled the
Kin
, formerly Project Pink (
previously
), which emerged out of the troubled Sidekick (
previously
). Built on
the same foundation as the Zune HD
, making it the
first in-phone use
of the
NVIDIA Tegra
, the phones operating system is a cut-down version of
Windows Phone 7
with a focus on photo sharing and social networking.
Will the Kin make Microsoft cool again?
Perhaps.
Of course all eyes are still on the Smartphone market, and how Windows Phone 7 will compare to the iPhone. Some see a clear lead for WP7 from
a developers perspective
, others are
more doubtful
.
