Actually, I think Motorola had some deal with LucasFilms a while back regarding the name Droid. Would be funny if Disney retracted that license and Google had to name the phone something else.
Nobody should be able to buy stuff before A$$le.
It should, like, be a law, you know, or sumpin'.
Maybe A$$le found out they couldn't trademark
the letter r and the number 2. Sadness.
Verizon, you mean
I mean, it's not like apple doesn't have the money to outbid MSFT. I wonder why it felt it just wasn't worth it?
Ok, the clown comment just made me laugh out loud at work. Too funny!!
Apple already acquired C3 in 2011.
LOL!!! George Lucas may have something to say about that.
And seriously, Apple fans, writing MS as M$ is akin Chris Farley calling John Candy for "fat bastard". It is so ridiculous it's beyond belief - but hey it says a lot about individuals' critical sense and naivité.
That's twice now that M$ has come up from under Apple to move into the gaming market, first with Halo and Xbox and now this. No big worries though, Apple still dominates in the mobile space with the awesome games on the App Store.

What a bad headerline for this article - totally confusing.

Do you have anything (cited references, friends/family that work for MS or R2) to support this claim?? If not, perhaps you're the one trying to bait folks. Or perhaps you just like to bash MS... if so, that's your prerogative but I think we can all see how biased you are. I guess the RDF is strong in you.
I concur.
It was clever... once... ten or so years ago. Now it is hopelessly juvenile and trite.

The price of the deal couldn't be learned.
?
That wasn't my point. My point was that M$ doesn't seem to have it together like Apple and Google. So when they heard that Apple and Google were courting R2, they thought "Hey, let's buy it - not sure why, but let's buy it before the others do"
Nice try, though - if you're trying to bait me.
Curious: does George still have a say in anything Star Wars-related anymore now that he cashed out?
It has become part of standard English. If you don't write it that way, you are doing it wrong.
