It's news about the world's largest search engine significantly changing their ad layout. Not a puff piece or a takedown. It's news. I'm looking at the new SERPs right now and it does look a lot cleaner. That is my opinion.

To quote the article:

Asked why the company is pushing back so hard against this particular FBI request when it has assisted the agency in the past, Apple executives noted that the San Bernadino case is fundamentally different from others in which it was involved. Apple has never before been asked to build an entirely new version of its iOS operating system designed to disable iPhone security measures.
