I hope Google not to be evil. It's understandable to want Apple to pay back for all the damage they've done with nonsense patent fights, but I don't see any good future in lowering to their level.

It's funny and sort of a waste to 1st say that the new CEO was hired to bring in new ideas and fresh blood and then immediately after say that very little will change and everything will be as before??!!
