Saw that coming. Just like Google did with the SEO heist a person bragged about a couple weeks ago, if you make big tech companies look foolish they are going to react quickly.

When did Google react to the SEO heist? I can't seem to find a source for it.

I wonder what Apple will do with the number registrations that came from Androids.
