I think this sums it all up, "The stock, down 6.2 percent at $21.71, still trades at more than 40 times forward earnings, versus Google Inc's 15."


This ZDNet article claims that, "Google helped with CISPA, joins Cybersecurity Theatre," and "CISPA’s author Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) has bragged that Google had, in fact, quietly worked with the bill’s authors behind the scenes."

The source of the ZDNet article is a bit less sensational sounding:

  >"They've been helpful and supportive of trying to find the right language in the bill," Rogers said, adding that Google wants to protect consumers' privacy and prevent regulation of the Internet.
It makes sense that they'd try to get in during the drafting phase instead of being on the outside looking in, ala SOPA.


I would've gone for a detailed title too, like __ "How Microsoft is killing off the Zune and Windows Live brands in Windows 8; Live ID to be renamed to Microsoft Account" __ but that would be 118 characters(with spaces) well over title limit(80) at Hacker News.
