How many people...
I wonder how many people are actually surprised at this decision, and what's wrong with them.
Incidentally, this is not only a decision on how much Microsoft owes Google/Motorola, and not only a decision about how much those specific Motorola patents are worth, but also a verdict on the stupidity of The Three Assholes who run Google and who pretty much wasted $12.5 billion for a patent portfolio that was already proven to be non-deterring before Google bought them.
And they bought Motorola from desperation born out of their refusal to be part of the consortium that bought the Nortel patents because buying into that consortium would have preventing Google from asserting them against anyone else.
