Quote from: ripster;241772
Big telephone companies are filled with lawyers but have few engineers/scientists these days.

Apple/Google will be the same someday.

I think some do have a "few" or then they have way too large wages.

R&D spendings:
Top 10 worldwide:
3. Microsoft 6,07Mrd€
7. Nokia 5,00Mrd€
10 Samsung 4.51Mrd€

(btw, 1 Mrd = 1 american billion...)

It looks like those companies like to sue other companies... Some of those patents and for what they can be used is pure madness...
