If you have read my previous post and want to get into the high level technical details of why Oracle thinks it might have a case, read Osvaldo Pinali Doederlein\’s blog on Java.net. It’s legal and perhaps speaks to why Oracle bought Sun in the first place. They don’t care about the community. They saw the [...]

Here are the patents that Oracle says Google is violating? The problem?

I work as a Software Design Engineer at a Downtown Toronto firm and have always wanted to have a blog purely for code and code related discussions. I have a couple of personal blogs but they didn’t seem the right place for technical posts – kind of obvious. So, introducing The Mindful Coder! This blog [...]
