Both Apple and Microsoft are already in patent lawsuits with Motorola. Google has tried to get some smartphone patent portfolio for themselves too, but they just burned $12.5 billion on patents that
1) don't help them at all against Apple and Microsoft
2) alienates other Android manufacturers

But there isn't much Google can do. People act weirdly and make mistakes when they're surrounded and desperate. Google made their mistake here.

Microsoft is a convicted monopoly, Google is not.

I'm fairly sure both Firefox and Chrome are the safest browsers out there, especially if you use Adblock and NoScript. GOOG has done a remarkable job in making their browser as secure as it can be, with autoupdating, sandboxing and different processes for tabs. They also bundle their own fixed Flash version that updates itself automatically. Microsoft should stop paying for these fake studies.

That's why we need more companies like Google. Companies that are willing to take patent trolls and other bad companies to court for the common good. Google is probably the only company that fights against patents, copyright and other evil things for the greater good.

And since its just current generation, 2% is just laughable. Google has done remarkable job with Android and we should praise them for it. Seriously, if it wasn't for Google all we had was iPhone or Windows Phone.
