@ mok214 - 31.01.14 - 12:27am But that is why they bought Motorola Mobility. And guess what? All the latest patents for Google Glass belong to Google Mobility. Now I know how to apply the new term gla**hole, right here |

And even if Lenovo does buy the rights for google glass as well, why must we be prepared to wait longer?

@ mok214 - 29.01.14 - 10:31pm Be prepared to wait a little longer. Lenovo Group Ltd is poised to purchase Google's Motorola Mobility business, an acquisition that would expand the Chinese company's footprint in the lucrative tablet and smartphone markets, according to reports. The purchase, said to be worth at least 3 billion, will include more than 10,000 mobile communications patents currently held by Google, according to a report in the China Daily, which cited a person familiar with the matter. Web site TechCruch said it had confirmed reports of the acquisition. Lenovo, the world's largest manufacturer of PCs, is expected to announce the deal on Thursday morning in Beijing. Lenovo declined to comment on specifics, telling the Chinese newspaper Thursday's announcement is related to a major acquisition. A Google spokesman didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Lenovo hopes the acquisition will help it keep up in the global gadgets arms race with competitors Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Samsung Electronics. Motorola Mobility, which Google acquired in 2011 for about 12.5 billion, reported a 248 million operating loss in the third quarter of 2013, according to Google's financial report. This is happening just after a few years after Google bought Motorola Mobility. So the report is suggesting that goggle paid 12.5 billion for Motorola but after losing 245 million which is less than 2 percent of the purchase price, decided to sell it for 3 billion? I haven't bothered to check your story but basic mathematics says it makes no sense for google to do so unless they are filing for bankruptcy |

Google sold off parts of Motorola during their ownership, if I'm not mistaken when all is accounted for Google has 'only' lost 2-3billion USD.
