Google-Motorola, those scary, scary flash mobs


Tech Check podcast, Doug Gross, Stephanie Goldberg and Brandon Griggs discuss about deal of Google's massive, $12.5 billion purchase of Motorola Mobility.
Everyone's discussing about Motorola's 17,000 patents, which could provide Google some help in legal battles with Apple and Microsoft. But what will this mean for non Motorola companies that make phones using Google's Android operating system?
We also take a look at the rebranding of flash mobiles from innocent, if sometimes silly, spontaneous gatherings to, at least in some people's eyes, an opportunity for crime and other shenanigans?
Is there something to this? Or is blaming social media for crime just a cop-out?
Our Reader Comments of the Week come from a story detailing a report that 90 % of video game players, even the most hardcore ones, never finish the games they start.
