Umm OK, they are complying with the Dodd-Frank Act and acting like they are doing it out of the goodness of their hearts... How moving.

  They did a bit more than that. They originally considered pulling out of the region entirely, but then a lot of people not involved in those conflicts would also lose their income. So instead, they spent extra time and money to figure out which mines, smelters, etc in the conflict areas were okay and which weren't. And that makes this very good news.

    A lot of large US companies pulled out. This drove prices down. So low in fact that it became cost effective enough for Google to go back (and in some cases remain). Again, how moving... If Google really was so generous and humanitarian, why don't they start paying the previous rate in these regions?

      Um, Google doesn't actually appear in this story. Where did you get that from?

        My bad I meant Intel but said Google. I had Google on the brain.
