why?

If Google is successful at invalidating that patent (at USPTO or at Court of Appeals), will this feature come back?

butthurt because Microsoft is in the list, and Google isn't, you shill?

You lost me at "On top of that Nokia will use Android on their lower end phones", you liar

You're right. All this astroturfing (read the comments) is simply EPIC

Tl;dr: If you don't like this site, stop visiting it. Go and read WMPowerUser, Microsoft News, Gizmodo, Macrumors, Cult of Mac, etc. There is a lot of choice out there

private Facebook data is not available.

It's just that they don't want to do it - they want more control for themselves and more information about users for advertising and marketing

So tell me, why Facebook data isn't open for everyone? That's control too, isn't it?. And do you remember when twitter said "no" to Google for use Twitter data on Google Social Search?
You should inform yourself before commenting, please.

by using your logic, MS should be investigated too, they are pushing IE9, Windows, etc on their Hotmail page, and nobody complains. And Hotmail still is a dominant force. Twitter said NO for using their data on Google. Facebook data is not open for Google. So, how do you expect Google Search+ to use others data? And all that illegaly enter other markets BS is just FUD. You should inform yourself before commenting.

I suggest you read the whole article. It tells you about the very dark side of Google.
As if all other companies were honest, and they don't have a very dark side. Troll harder

But not all software is in C or C++...

It will be a very difficult task to port x86 software to ARM...

Why is he a troll? Attack the argument, not the person

The question is, will they succeed?

They will keep denying that rumor... If they accept it, it will be a huge PR disaster...
