EU and US Approve Google-Motorola Deal
angry tapir writes "European regulators have given Google the green light to take over Motorola Mobility. The U.S. $12.5 billion deal faced strong opposition from open source and consumer rights advocates, including Consumer Watchdog, but the European Commission announced on Monday that the acquisition could go ahead, without conditions."
Later in the day the DOJ announced an end to its investigation, greenlighting the acquisition in the U.S. as well.
Apple has the most brand loyal customers on the planet, every steaming pile of shit they serve up is pute gold to these people. I mean, look at the generations of iPhones, these people were literally willing to pay for the same piece of garbage several times over, each "generation" being only slightly more technologically advanced than the predecessor and all of them miles behind the HTCs and Samsungs - and yes, even Motorola's on the market. With a customer base like that Apple is indeed the goose that shits golden eggs and I don't see them getting sued out of existence I hate to tell you. My hope is that it will force them to become true innovators again and make products worth owning, but as long as they are spinning shit into gold I doubt that will happen either.
"I stopped reading after "ad network" because someone who describes Google as such is either biased against Google or for Apple, which makes your comment no more rational than the first post."
It's just the tired old anti-Google troll bonch. Too scared to post with his main trolling account and probably too tired of making new shill accounts that just get modded down into oblivion within minutes.
