PC, I know getting in a shouting match with you is a cause no one can win, but I just have to say that it doesn't matter if it was JEDEC, the Vatican, or the UN, if Rambus feels that the GDDR3 spec includes technologies that they have a patent on, then they have a premise on which to file a lawsuit. They clearly do have a premise, and they clearly did file a lawsuit.
Now, the courts will decide.
What about all this can't you understand that you have to keep pointing to JEDEC and screaming BS?

Now instead of answering with smilies,you just have to tell me if the FTC did indeed take that route.
Don't know...does it matter? It's been back and forth with these Rambus lawsuits so anything could happen.

Well the point is Samsung is now being sued, for SDRAM all the way up to GDDR3, and their case will be won or lost in the courts - not the Internet boards. Obviously Rambus must feel confident of at least a settlement of sorts, or they wouldn't have decided to sue this behemoth.
That's my take at least.

Right but so have I, so have you, so has everybody, and so has every business. Being confident and then getting completely humiliated doesn't mean that you are completely out of your mind the next time you are confident and decide on a bold course of action. Rambus' actions this time must be viewed in isolation of their previous madness. There's obviously a reason why they did not sue Samsung before, just as there must be a reason now for them to finally launch against them.
Don't get me wrong - I don't think Rambus will win. I just don't think they will necessarily lose either, and am arguing against those who feel Rambus' case is a total lost cause.

God, you are so loud for someone so clueless. The courts found illegal price fixing among the major memory makers to lock Rambus out of the PC market. They also found that several of these memory makers "licensed" Rambus technology only to have a look at their technology so that it can be more or less stolen and incorporated into SDRAM, DDRx, GDDRx, etc. That is why the majority of memory makers now pay Rambus in order to produce SDRAM and DDR. In light of these latest court decisions, the FTC pretty much has no case against Rambus.
Rambus bashing is just so 2001.

JEDEC...
btw the price fixing has nothing to do with these patents.
Also please provide some sources that says Rambus technology was stolen and how it relates to thier behavior while at JEDEC.
