Google buys “Android Partner” Motorola for $12.5 billion.
Wild. What do you have to say for yourself, Google CEO Larry Page? “[The acquisition will] enable us to better protect Android from anti-competitive threats from Microsoft, Apple and other companies.”
To paraphrase: “Screw you, Steve Jobs.”
I hope this swings the pendulum away from corporate patent trolling and towards innovation and competition. Apple is expert at both; Jobs only knows why they have concentrated on the former.
