Patents and innovation
Google is becoming more hypocritical by the day. First the Verizon deal. Next it was closing Android, now it is bidding on Nortel's patents as a protection power-play (and I'm sure there are countless others, but those are the first I'm reminded of). This is a "sorry we're not sorry" blog post...I never understand this. Stop pretending to be a small company in big company's clothes: own up to being a part of the system you swore not to be a part of, and move on. Search works for me, so I'm still happy.
