#1 ... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,...

I really need to get my eye prescription updated and get a pair of glasses. I read that as "a succession of Daleks..."

#3 ends Google's brief ownership
Didn't we see earlier that Google kept a number of remarkable Motorola patents which M. couldn't afford to develop or tech wouldn't yet support?

#4 Weird. Something convinced me to ditch my Motorola phone yesterday.

Pity I can't get rid of the Lenovo laptop. It's employer issued.

#6 One of my patents stayed with Google. It kills denial of service attacks.

Another is still with the core Motorola bit in Schaumburg.

Not many I know still with the unit going to the Chicoms.
