Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus GOOGLE LLC v. ORACLE AMERICA, INC. CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT No. 18–956. Argued October 7, 2020—Decided April 5, 2021 Oracle America, Inc., owns a copyright in Java SE, a computer platform that uses the popular Java computer programming language. In 2005, Google acquired Android and sought to build a new software platform for mobile devices. To allow the millions of programmers familiar with the Java programming language to work with its new Android plat- form, Google copied roughly 11,500 lines of code from the Java SE pro- gram. The copied lines are part of a tool called an Application Pro- gramming Interface (API). An API allows programmers to call upon prewritten computing tasks for use in their own programs. Over the course of protracted litigation, the lower courts have considered (1) whether Java SE’s owner could copyright the copied lines from the API, and (2) if so, whether Google’s copying constituted a permissible “fair use” of that material freeing Google from copyright liability. In the proceedings below, the Federal Circuit held that the copied lines are copyrightable.

  • The Wysiwyg and Vivien Hardware Guide
    The wysiwyg and Vivien Hardware Guide [Updated June 5, 2019] This guide describes the principles of selecting hardware components for a wysiwyg or Vivien workstation, and it is meant to be a guideline for choosing the right hardware for your intended use of the software. As such, actual hardware models are not specified for most components, but based on the information provided below, you will be able to decide on these yourself. Once you have, if you wish to confirm the components you selected, our Technical Support Department will be happy to look over your list; please see the end of this article for information on how to get in touch with us. Before discussing the various components and the criteria for selecting them, there are four important things to note. It strongly recommended that you read all this information and follow the advice before considering the purchase of new hardware. 1. Geometry must always be properly optimized, in all files, regardless of their complexity. Even the best/fastest/most expensive hardware will not be able to properly- handle a file that is not optimized and therefore contains inefficient geometry. If you haven’t done so already, please read through this thread on our Forum, in order to learn how to optimize your files. The key to understanding the optimization principles described here lies with the articles mentioned in the first paragraph of the first message, “Part 1” and “Part 2”; please ensure that you also click those links and read the information they reveal. 2. Even in an optimized file performance can be poor if your video card driver is out-of-date and/or your video card’s settings and/or Shaded View options are inappropriate.

Chapter 1 Introduction From a developer’s perspective, the APIs for desktop PCs and enterprise systems have been a daunting combination of complexity and confusion. Over the last 10 years, Java™ technology has helped simplify and tame this world for the benefit of everyone. Developers have benefited by seeing their skills become applicable to more systems. Users have benefited from consistent interfaces across different platforms. And systems vendors have benefited by reducing and focusing their R&D investments while attracting more developers. For desktop and enterprise systems, “Write Once, Run Anywhere”™ has been a success. But if the complexities of the desktop and enterprise world seem, well, complex, then the connected device world is even scarier.

  • Tco Comparison: 2-Processor Dell and Sun Servers
    TCO COMPARISON: 2-PROCESSOR DELL AND SUN SERVERS OUR FINDINGS OUR PROCESS The latest, most powerful Dell PowerEdge servers We used the industry-standard SPECjbb2005 provide better performance and lower total cost of benchmark to measure the performance and ownership (TCO) than Sun SPARC Enterprise power usage of the Dell PowerEdge R810 server. servers. In Principled Technologies’ tests in our We compared those results to publicly available labs, the Dell PowerEdge R810 server delivered SPECjbb2005 results and power measurements for higher performance results than the publicly the Sun server to identify performance-equivalent available benchmark scores of the Sun SPARC configurations of the two servers and estimate Enterprise T5240 servers. This better performance their energy costs. We calculated the 3-year TCO of of the Dell servers, along with much lower those configurations using energy cost estimates, hardware costs and lower annual costs, leads to a server prices from Dell and the Oracle Web site, significant TCO advantage for the Dell solution. and our own estimates of costs for migration, facilities, software, and server management. MARCH 2010 A PRINCIPLED TECHNOLOGIES ANALYSIS Commissioned by Dell Corp. PROJECT OVERVIEW We estimated costs for a hypothetical enterprise migrating from end-of-life Sun SPARC servers running Oracle on Solaris. The enterprise wants a solution that meets performance goals and provides the lowest 3- year TCO and is considering either the latest, most powerful Dell PowerEdge servers or Sun SPARC Enterprise servers as the replacement. Expected benefits of this server replacement project also include savings in data center space and power consumption. The migration will involve acquiring hardware, upgrading to the Oracle 11G version, and, in the case of the Dell solution, changing both hardware architecture and operating systems.
