To be honest, Obama administration is also trying to force these big American companies to pay some taxes, a thing they are used to avoid thanks to "Double Dutch sandwich"...
Google is not a monopoly for users, who could choose their search engine, but it is a monopoly for other websites because 90% of searches are made here and they can not change it.
USD504889 is this famous rectangle with rounded corners. USD548747 is the design of the iPod. Finally USD558757 is the design of the iPhone and is not really similar to the first design. There is nothing really interesting in these patent, just different shapes of rectangles.
The probability to have 9 similar lines in 15 millions is high. It is even higher if the lines were contributed to Java by a programmer who then contributed to Android.

On some fields (beside big houses and cars), there are obvious better part elsewhere. But your 3 affirmations above are false.

The LG Prada was the first of the three, actually. See origin of the iPhone: http://www.scriptol.com/mobile/iphone.php/
" then you re-make it into something that is like it was but is wholly yours." Something like Android?
Facebook is not a big application. The problem is rather iOS.
Providing you do not launch a startup and get your enterprise killed by some idiot patent.
He just sued Samsung, HTC, LG, Motorola, and some other in USA, UK Australia, Germany, Nederland and some other countries.
But they created most technologies Apple actually use in iPhone.
Computer science has a lot of father:
Mad mathematicians of the twentieth century
Any document about computer history can confirm that.
I doubt they fear lawsuits. They are great amateurs of lawsuits.
I use VLC and XBMC. I have not heard of RealPlayer for a while!
What about Microsoft ballot screen, and 497 million euros fine from the same EU?
Thanks you, troll of the day. The point is not about how money makes Google but how money it make with infringing code that is near zéro.
You are talking of 9 lines of code out of 15 millions, and contributed by a Google engineer?
Probably not. Free versions bring a lot of customers to the paid one.

Yes, they did... http://infolab.stanford.edu/~backrub/google.html But showing all the detail of their algo will not help to prevent spam.
Look at your sig.
This is also the case of Metroin Windows 8, Tizen, WebOS.
