HTC is suing Apple for patents which were bought by Google from several companies and transferred to HTC on September 1st.
“Instead of competing by building new features or devices, they are fighting through litigation.”
This was just over a month ago when David Drummond, Chief Legal Officer at Google took on defensive crying about companies like Apple, Microsoft and RIM acquiring auctioned patents for the sole purpose of hurting Android.
“Don’t be evil” my arse.

In Mac OSX lion holding a keyboard key reveals a contextual menu allowing you to choose different variations of the character. This happens to be a major annoyance for me since I don’t really use that feature. So here is how you can disable it using a terminal command if you decide to revert back the typical performance of repeating characters while you’re holding the key.
Just run the Terminal.app and enter the following command.
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
This will disable Lion’s contextual pop up menu when you long hold a key for repeating characters.
