Google buying Motorola for $12.5b

[k13]

Motorola (mmi) is up 57% today. Mentioned it recently a few times as a buy here.

Still a great bargain buy for Google. Makes sense.

I thought my stock ticker was broken again.

It's Motorola Mobility, which was a small portion of Motorola when they split. Motorola Solutions is a separate company.

Google is mainly interested in the patents of Motorola...to protect themselves in the future.

All my idiot friends who went to bad school and were working in motorola mobile are going to be my colleagues now at Google

Those 'bad school' might teach grammar and sentence composition better than your good school.

Is Google really that elitist?
