    Google's come to the realization that much of their Android efforts only benefit Samsung and other competitors, and so they've pulled their best and brightest to go do something else ... something that they can control the intellectual properly and make money from ... you know, the way that Apple does!

    Android is Linux based, so the source code is not owned by Google, but in the public domain. If Google decides to do something else, might it be something other than Android/Linux-based?
