Failed $4.4 billion bid for Nortel patents comes back to haunt
Google and friends on Halloween
...Google has been proud of its own search engine patents, including the patent without which Google might not even exist today (the PageRank patent) or at least not be a monopolist. It now has to respect the work Nortel did in this area and which Google built on. It will have to pay up because Congress is not going to bail it out. The Rockstar Consortium is a co-plaintiff in all eight cases (Google and the OEM cases). Against Google, it is joined by its subsidiary NetStar Technologies, and by another subsidiary, MobileStar Technologies, against the device makers.
Chart of the day: Apple's hidden revenue stream
FORTUNE -- Until I read Daniel Eran Dilger's piece on Apple's deferred earnings Friday in AppleInsider I'd forgotten what a big deal these hidden earnings were just a few years ago.
Dilger explains with admirable clarity why Apple (AAPL) has been holding some revenue in reserve each quarter to account for such things as AppleCare, iTunes gift cards and free software.
"Apple's deferred revenues began rapidly building," he writes, "when the company initiated 'subscription accounting' in 2007 with the release of the original iPhone, a practice that set aside a portion of new income that the company did not officially, immediately recognize it in its earnings reports, even though the company had collected the money."Instead, Apple incrementally recognized a fraction of that deferred revenue each quarter over a two year period. The practice was designed to ensure that revenue wasn't counted ahead of delivering a full product, because in Apple's accounting, the iPhone wasn't finished until two years of software updates had been provided to the end user."
