Google Acquires Chip Maker Startup Agnilux
bobwrit points out a story at PC Magazine, from which he extracts "Google has purchased Agnilux, a secretive chip house made up of engineers who architected the heart of the iPad, then left the company. Reuters' PEHub reported the story Tuesday night. A Google spokesman also confirmed the acquisition to PCMag.com. 'We're pleased to welcome the Agnilux team to Google, but we don't have any additional information to share right now,' a Google spokesman said Tuesday night via email."
How about...
"The firm's enormous security guard reacted quickly to the arrival of Carlos the Jackal. Reaching for the closest blunt instrument at hand, the guard picked up I. M. Pei and architected the terrorist to death."
Now that Google is getting into hardware, it's only a matter of before we see:
The Google Search (and destroy) Robot. ;)
Connected, of course, by GStrings.
And then, about 5 years later, the WinPad. ;)
Right with a “early experimental hacked together” OpenPad, which is only actually usable 5 years later,
and looks and behaves exactly like the WinPad with some missing smoothness, which itself behaves exactly like the GPad and iPad only a lot more annoying and with shitloads of security holes.
Meanwhile in useful innovation land... nobody has ever heard of *Pads. ^^
Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from stupidity.

Who said crime doesn't Pei?
