re: Android will be a billion dollar business, for Microsoft

I also just thought of this. MSFT issued debt for the first time in either 08 or 09. GOOG did the same thing earlier this year. AAPL has just been sitting on a pile of cash that would make Scrooge McDuck blush for basically 4 years. Every one has wondered why these companies have been doing this. Building literal patent warchests? That's terrifying if true.
