So they 'invented' moving video from a small device to a large device in 2010? That's a dumb patent and they are trolls. I hate google, but patents like that are stupidly vague and stifle progress.

Exactly. That's not an invention, and "using" your absurdly uninnovative idea that no intelligent person could possibly consider granting a patent for doesn't make you not a patent troll.
