    Motorola bought by Google...

    Hello.

    Motorola Mobile has been bought by Google.
    How will this affect black ops in Texass?
    Will Google now sue Rudi?

    Hello.

    Google will not sue Hajji Rudi.
    They have sent him to Saudi Arabia to repair the APU on the company Bell 47.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Not to worry. They didn't buy all of Motorola, just the cell phone division that got spun off last year.

    No Google black helicopters for Rudi!

    That could be good news. The RAZR, while in production, was one of the best of that generation cell phone. Hope they've got plans to sell a RAZR to compete with the current crop of so-called "smart" phones. The RAZR got a lot of things exactly right.

    Yes, but the cell phone part of Motorola was spun out of Moto World last year to be a separate company, and that's the entity that Google bought. Shouldn't affect VS/Y at all.
