To get a big settlement out of AAPL, with all the appeals that will ensue, will take time.

But, the logical way to get rid of us is to buy us out or license our tech. We need a couple of breaks, good luck trumps; we need a couple of rulings on motions and the CE appeal to go in our favor.

For a cerebral discussion on the importance of good luck and probability, I recommend Fooled by Randomness by Nassim N. Taleb who also wrote about the Black Swan event.
