    Big success for Apple. Now Google has to save up ten years to get that money back, or just sue Apple for any random reason.

    Wait, what?! Did I read that right? 22.5 million? Isn't that like paying a penny as a fine for a regular person? Hefty to us, nothing to them :p

    "The fine is the largest ever imposed by the FTC, although it is realistically only a fraction of the revenue that Google makes in just hours."

    chump change....shoulda been more lenient

    Google makes that money back in just hours, plus Apple had nothing to do with this. It was between the FTC and Google.

    No offense, but the more you post, the more younger I think you are.
