Bradley was released on $50,000 bail, on the condition that he has no contact with his computer or Google.

LOL what a great article. So he's not allowed to have contact with his computer, I hope it doesn't cheat on him while he is in the slammer.

So does this mean Apple makes money from google searches in Safari? Is that how this google policy reads????

Google, acting as a sort of middleman, sells ready-made advertising to other sites. He was probably threatening to sabotage that.

This guy definitely makes the Dumbest Criminals of All Time list, though.
