According to a google's blog post, Larry Page CEO & co-founder of Google writes that Google has acquired Motorola not only because of its strength in Android smartphones and devices, but also for being a “market leader in the home devices and video solutions business.”



He said the move is to also strenghten the company's patent portfolio as it will “enable us to better protect Android from anti-competitive threats from Microsoft, Apple and other companies”.

They've got the money, and they acquired what they wanted. I hope that jobs are not lost
because of this move by Google.

Even if you have the best north face jackets hunting gear, Not the toys themselves. It's a small distinction that we often fail to make.There is nothing inherently wrong with owning expensive houses, cars and boats. However, unless these acquisitions are the end product of service rendered or value provided, chances are that they will not offer the sense of fulfillment and satisfaction necessary for the lasting sense of feeling good which was the primary objective. This cannot be achieved unless we have the means growing faster than outside influences and circumstances. In other word, to fulfill the need of significance, we need to be able to fill our present place and that we are in growth mode getting ready to fill an even larger role. That can only be done through the pursuit of excellence. The happiestnorth face coat  people are the ones striving to achieve. It is the athlete in the pursuit of a place on the podium. It is the author trying to write a best seller or the artist who want to touch the world with his creation. These people are on a self-actualization and growth mode. They are creating their life and not simply reacting to outside circumstances.DCY
