WOW!!! I really feel bad for him. In the grand scheme of things, that's miniscule yet he gets hit with a life changing fine. I would never be able to pay my way out of that much.

Well, I suppose I could gigolo myself out for about a week and pay it off

Can someone please explain to me why CHINA has to approve one stinkin' thing we do?

China finally approves Google’s purchase of Motorola, but with one condition

Spoiler

Other than the obvious, that they own us all... but that rant's for the Politics forum...

Haha it is a forum game, acronym stands for Android Forums Role Playing Forum Game. Just something a few of us do to pass the time.

Uh, no. Not an RPG kinda guy.

Of course, as a retired military guy, my idea of an RPG is a bit different

I always laughed at the fact that the training round for that was a 9mm bullet.

Who the hell would marry Mark Zuckerberg? I understand they've been dating forever but really? Supposedly it was all about timing it when Facebook went public.

A business must follow the laws of any country in which they have a business presence. Thus, if Google and Motorola want to operate in China, they must follow Chinese laws and need their approval. China is one of the world's biggest smartphone markets. In this age of multinational corporations, it's not really accurate to think of it in an "us vs. them" mindframe.

IIRC, another reason Google acquired Motorola was for a large number of their Chinese-held patents.

Granted, she is quite the looker. Him, eh, not so much. Least he didn't wear a sweat shirt to the wedding.

At least that clarifies it (a little)...
