#4I'm curious if this will have any impact on the practice other than companies getting better at not leaving a paper trail.
If it doesn't, the only people this settlement will help is those at the named companies and not the trickle down effect it's had on the rest of the industry.

#6Their collusion depressed the price of engineers generally. I spent a lot of the years in question ignoring recruiting emails from those companies, and this affected the amount my employer needed to pay me to do that. We should dig up the corpse of Steve Jobs and tar and feather it.

While I don't think we should desecrate the dead, Eric Schmidt is live and well.

That last sentence right there is one of the few times I really wish I was able to down vote. I valued your opinion until you felt the need to include that.
