"..the extremely costly Motorola acquisition was directly linked to Google's decision to launch Android as a major business venture." That is blatantly false.

That is blatantly false. How did this make it past editing?
- krakensden 14y agoThere is no editing of Yglesias' regular moneybox posts. Spelling and grammar errors are pretty common. It's probably possible to defend this as having been correct but poorly worded, on the grounds that Google's Android strategy changed around the time they bought Motorola.
- snowwrestler 14y agoWould Google have bought Motorola if it had never bought/developed Android? I think not. The former is a direct consequence of the latter.
