I had rather hoped that when Google started to be challenged on the 
patent front, that they would use their deep pockets to challenge the 
patents and the patent system in general. Instead they decided to buy 
into it by purchasing a bunch of patents. Probably a lower risk course 
of action, but also lower reward. So much for not being evil.
