On the one hand, lawsuits are bad and innovation is good. On the other hand, I'm happy to see Google defend its ecosystem against Apple's square-with-rounded-corner lawsuits.

#23I think it is part of a plan to destroy western society by locking up all the courts and government with unanswerable questions such as "Who first thought of the rectangle?". Soon, there will be nothing left but a wasteland and some lawyers arguing over who gets to own half a dead cat while they warm their hands on oil drums full of burning currency.
Or maybe it's a cunning plan to save western society by locking up all the courts and government?

#24Just to be clear, this Motorola suing Apple, and it's not the first time they've done so. I think The Verge has a much less linkbait-y headline for this: "Motorola files new patent case against Apple with ITC, wants import ban on iPhone and iPad" [1] [1]: http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/17/3250656/motorola-files-new...

#25Earlier quoted context omitted.
Because Apple attacked first
Wait, Apple sued Google?
Apple is waging a war by proxy on Google via attacks on Android handset manufacturers. They've mostly avoided direct engagement so far (which is smart, since Google isn't the one making money directly from Android), but it's obvious to anyone watching the overall swing of these lawsuits that Apple isn't waging war on HTC or Samsung as much as they are on Google and Android.

Yes. It's Motorola suing Apple and Not Google. Google, the current owner of Motorola has nothing to do with this. Just like Romney had nothing to do with what the other executives at Bain Capital did.

#27Did Google acquire Motorola just to prepare its patent arsenal?
If there was any doubt about it in the past, it should be put to rest now.

Could be either. Or even both. Is very hard to tell with cunning plans.

#30We all knew that the second someone started wielding their "defensive" patents the whole system was going to fall apart. Well...here we go I guess.
The headline is incorrect; this is Motorola suing Apple, not Google, which has happened before (as the article states).
Right. Google and Motorola are too separate corporate entities.
