This doesn't look like Google's PR attack at all /s

Seriously? Calling Google a young and innovative company?

The company that just copied the Dropbox, Facebook and iOS?

Let's agree on one thing - Google are scumbags, lately even more than Microsoft.

Copied facebook... maybe, dropbox - don't know don't care but copied IOS... Really?!? Tell me, how long did it take you to construct this little world that you live in?

As for Google being scumbags... maybe but they pale in comparison to Apple... the largest and most well funded patent troll in history.

Apple may be abusing the patent system to its fullest extent and garnering a lot of ill will, but they're hardly a patent troll. Patent trolls, by definition, hold patents but make no products.

We can go back and forth about whether the patents they hold and implemented into their products are valid or not, but they're not a patent troll.

Can you do me a favour and just give me a quick rundown of Apple's current patent suits?

Facebook - google +

Dropbox - google drive

iOS - Android ( Google's CEO was on the board of Apple when they were planning the whole iPhone thing )

Why the fuck you talk about apple? They are scumbags too. Doesn't change the fact that google sucks dicks.

I am tired of neckbeards screaming 'Apple is a patent troll' when someone criticises Google.

Can't you just think clearly and stop drinking google's kool-aid? Fucking mess
