“Some will argue that Google is so innovative that we need not worry, but Google Maps, Google Earth, Google Groups, Google Docs, Google Analytics, Android, and other Google products are all based on technology Google has acquired rather than invented,” said Jones, repeating the word ‘Google’ so many time that it began to lose any meaning it may previously have had.'
