Facebook accused Yahoo of violating 10 of its patents Tuesday, a response to a similar suit Yahoo filed just under a month ago. The two Internet competitors are embroiled in a patent duel that started last month, when Yahoo sued Facebook for 10 counts of patent infringement. The litigation came at a particularly delicate time for Facebook — its IPO is expected in a matter of weeks. Yahoo critics called the action an opportunistic bid to pressure Facebook into a fast settlement.
Interesting article but "turn the other cheek" is incorrectly used. In general it means to get in the face of oppressive religious leaders and stand up for the things taught by Jesus even if it means being cast out of the community (or worse).
