Isn't the Inquirer a tabloid?

It's a publication where you need to take most, if not all, reports with a pinch of salt.

This a better source?

Nvidia to Pay Rambus Fees While Appealing ITC Ruling - BusinessWeek

They might have gotten that from The Inquirer

Or you could read the ruling yourself,

which is linked to in the Inquirer article. A little too much legal mumbo jombo for me, but it is there.

Yeah, I would say that is a very good source :)

BTW....

Nvidia said it can continue sales by taking advantage of a licensing arrangement Rambus reached with European regulators as part of an unrelated antitrust case.

It's True: The ruling gives nVidia a 'Cease and Desist' order because they weren't paying Rambus royalties on what ended up being judged as Rambus' Intellectual Property. The end result will involve large sums of money moving from nVidia to Rambus, and the end consumer will be inconvenienced with slightly higher prices and possibly a short interruption of the flow of parts.

Business as Usual, tho: Just RAMBUS bending another corporation over in Patent court. They're not a technology company any more. Rather a bunch of professional patent trolls.
