Grown-ass white men getting paid to develop digital toys justifying to themselves why the situation for 9 year old sweatshop workers is good enough. JFC. Fine, you pay for their food, clothes and schooling and we'll close the shops.

Nice one, others did it, not Google. Too bad this notice was published on 6 May 2013. Surely Google had time to stop whatever Motorola was doing until May 2013 but decided not to, even if Google had no hand in pushing Motorola to do this.

Now, we understand you may never assert this patent. Given your history, you may only be acquiring it "defensively." This is the same argument as Obama used for the bill allowing indefinite detentions https://www.aclu

Economists who want to study the effect of a basic income can travel to Alaska and see the impact for themselves. The thing is that Alaska is not taxing Alaskan to share the wealth. Alaska is giving everyone a s share of what it gets from

Really? Have you seen Google's search results lately? You have to scroll quite a bit to see organic results, and they have done quite a bit so users mistake ads for content. That's one big scam and it coincided with (IMO) another

Good point, before judging the price or quality we have to know what the Government asked them to do and the legacy systems they had to deal with.

For this reason I'm actually surprised that significant advertising value can be mined from data about +1s and likes. The value might be just to get the person to click on an ad, and pad up this quarter's revenue, right before C

In ads, if the ads compete with search results, then make the ads better. Or hide the content way down, or make the content slightly worse than ads, or make ads look like content. I mentioned the scams that Google, your employer does. Thi

Yeah, Google was pushing Reader on every opportunity they could and still was a wasteland.

but I still don't see any evidence of actual money from Google being paid to lobbyists on behalf of protecting tax shelters. OK, how deep have you looked for evidence? Ah, I see. Once you pay off a congressman or senator you can ask

I'm pretty sure Google's lobbying is focused on issues such as Internet Regulation, Software patents, and antitrust. You'll need to provide some evidence that Google is lobbying for tax shelters. So you're "pretty

Don't blame them if it's legal. Let the politicians close the loopholes. But it's amazing how many dark clouds are gathering around Google in the Larry Page era. One day it may start to rain or pour. Even TechCrunch bashed th
