Remember when their motto was "don't be evil" and then they gave it up because they decided being evil was more lucrative?

What a bunch of dumbasses. They were already the default on most everything, so they basically paid $26 billion for nothing.

Google isn't paying that $26 B cause it want to, but because it knows Microsoft isn't going to pay that much.
