Typical "mature, intelligent, inspired pro-Ameican" level of a response....
LOL, you Paul tards are such an all-around abomination, it's not even funny. Obama-Soros did the right thing by resurrecting "Agent L.

You poor, poor deluded poseur, you won't know what Communist Hellhole hit you, until it's too late. Then you'll cry (Republican) Mommy... alas noone remainig alive or unjailed to help you.
As for "faggot" -- no, that's usually the voting constituency of the man you Paul Tards are unwittingly helping re-election. Just ask Obama's Chicago gay bath-house buddies.

Facebook Seeks to Mitigate HQ Move
Only a year and a half after opening its Palo Alto, Calif., headquarters, Facebook has announced plans to move to nearby Menlo Park – while seeking to mitigate the move's environmental impact.
Facebook says its current home is overcrowded, and it plans to take up residence in a 57-acre, nine building campus formerly occupied by Oracle and Sun MicroSystems.
The company's three fellows from the Environmental Defence Fund will draw up a plan to reduce the environmental impacts of the move while saving money.
"This is not just a feel good thing, this makes good business sense," Melanie Janin of EDF said, quoted on the BBC.
"Embedding these fellows in companies helps embed an understanding of pairing environmental innovation with business sense. You can cut costs and your carbon footprint."
But some critics have questioned the sustainability of Facebook's move.
The Inside Facebook blog says the move could push more people to drive instead of taking public transportation.
"One of the draws of moving to Menlo Park was supposedly to allow more employees to commute without using cars," said blogger Josh Constine."However, the closest train stop is an 11 minute ride away in one of Facebook's shuttle buses or a 16 minute bike ride — roughly twice the distance from a train as the Palo Alto offices."
"For those visiting the campus from San Francisco via public transportation, the trip will take 1.5 hours across multiple buses and underground trains."
The mayor of Menlo Park said that big housing and traffic issues are still to be worked out, the BBC reported.

Posted on 07/10/2014 2:51:41 PM PDT by Biggirl
Matthew Leber spokesman for the American Patriot, Three Percent, sent Breitbart News photos of what American security contractors on the ground believe is a Muslim prayer rug found near the border in Arizona last week.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
Scary stuff.
No No it's a Magic Carpet
while there is a high likelihood that muslim terrorists are crossing the border, the threat is more likely to come from those already here.
I first heard about Muslim items in the border areas about 4 years ago.You can bet that a bunch of sleeper cells are waiting for the go command.
Hamas is in Mexico. They've been there for a number of years.
If Hamas is in Mexico,then they're here too.
I bet the major media outlets will ignore and not report this story and the Obama Justice Department and Department of Homeland Security will no investigate this discovery of evidence.
Hey, they could be Hispanic Muslims.... just saying.
I personally know a Jewish lady who stopped a Hamas transfer of cash in a coffin originating from the USA that had been loaded on an airliner that was flying to Israel. She knew Arabic and heard the Muzzies talking about it that were accompanying the coffin.
Thank her for me.
The pic wasn't a Muslim prayer rug. It looked more like a table clothe from El Sarape
I heard (can not say it is true) that the terrorist are being taught Spanish so as not be be found out and to look like they can fit in with those entering our country illegally
Will do.
Potential jihadis are coming from all directions as well as being made from disaffected American youths. If I were betting and where the next attackers would come from, I'd probably back students. Not necessarily foreign students either.
Thank God Muslims are peaceful or I'd be worried. :)
Well, at least one of them, upon reaching the promised land of America, gave up his pagan religion and tossed his prayer rug aside. /s
Seriously though - shlepping a rug through the desert to get to the border, but leaving it?
"Hey Acmhed - lose the rug. We are immigrant workers from Mexico, remember!?"
Why do you think they're building all those mosques? Even in towns where there can't be more than a handful of muslims.
"The same contractor told Breitbart News last week that six Special Interest Aliens (SIAs) from Afghanistan, Iraq, and Yemen were picked up by U.S. border patrol near Laredo, Texas."
Thanks be to the Fool on the Hill.
I don't suppose I've seen every possible variation of Muslim prayer rugs, but I have to agree with that statement. I've lived or worked in Turkey, Morocco, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and it doesn't look like any prayer rug I ever saw.
Old Student
It could be a blanket from Glen Beck.
Yikes! Embarrassing.
What is scary about it?
Al Qa'ida's 2012 Inspire article was encouraging people to set multiple fires in the SW U.S. b/c it ties up resources and causes a lot of property damage and los of life. They also had explicit illustrated instructions for making fire bombs and initiators...............
As Napolatino (who cares about the spelling) would say - "The system worked."
You're talking to a pagan.
Thank you for your sane response. Taking one scrap of cloth from the thousands that are undoubtedly littering the landscape and screaming "prayer rug!! prayer rug!!" makes conservatives sound ridiculous.

REPORT IN FOCUS - US wine market set for continued growth
In spite of the economic downturn, the prognosis for the US wine market remains healthy, according to a new report from Wine Intelligence. Wine sales continue to grow year on year, but with per capita consumption still at around 11 litres, there is still huge potential for building sales, particularly among less regular wine drinkers. Ben Cooper reports.

It was great for staying at Disney World! Food and snacks were there waiting on us when we got there and made the trip so much more relaxing!
It was a great experience!! Our groceries were in our room when we returned from breakfast and cold products were even put away in our fridge!! Would do it again on our next trip to Disney!!
I was very pleased with the ease of ordering, the selections offered, the communication and delivery. We had a very minor issue with our order, and it was rectified immediately and professionally. I highly recommend Garden Grocer and will absolutely use this service again for our next trip to Disney. Thanks!!

LONDON, Dec. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The need to enhance healthcare delivery is driving the market for IT professional services in Europe. Adoption levels are, however, being hampered by budget cuts and end user reluctance to invest in such services. These trends have triggered several changes in the market, including consolidation and the adoption of inorganic growth models.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.healthcare.frost.com), Analysis of the European Healthcare IT Professional Services Market, finds that the market earned revenues of $1.58 billion in 2011 and estimates this to reach $1.93 billion in 2017. The research covers consulting, training, integration and implementation as well as support and maintenance services.
"Hospitals are now increasingly dependent on IT solutions to support their day-to-day, reduce human errors, limit operational costs and stay ahead in terms of technology," notes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Somsainathan C.K. "As the penetration of healthcare IT rises, hospitals are investing in professional services to optimise the use of these solutions."
Hospitals, now more than ever before, are recognising the importance of using the right communication and technology solutions. They are turning to healthcare IT professionals to select the models best suited to their needs.
The demand to update existing technology to boost efficiency and lower costs is further driving the growth of IT professional services in healthcare. This will have a beneficial impact on the training segment, in particular; when a new technology is acquired, hospital staff needs to be trained to use the upgraded version.
A major and continuing challenge for market participants remains shrinking healthcare budgets. These have adversely affected the revenues and the margins earned by industry participants.
"Lower cash inflows have motivated hospital CIOs to revisit investments into IT solutions and services," cautions Somsainathan. "Simultaneously, the market is being negatively affected by certain pre-conceived end user notions. For instance, some IT services, especially training and consulting, are perceived as adding very limited value to existing IT infrastructure and solutions."
The need, therefore, is for cost effective solutions that promote clinical and cost efficiencies. Service providers, on their part, will have to place cost optimisation on the top of their agendas.
"Newer architecture and delivery models, such as cloud services, will revive the market for healthcare IT professional services in the near future, as more and more hospitals are looking to improve their technology set up," concludes Somsainathan. "Ultimately, the need to reduce costs through the effective use of technology and the optimum utilisation of financial resources will help in improving the penetration rate of IT professional services in Europe".

I'm assuming the values listed are the costs of the materials, and not the cost to mint/manufacture/distribute them as well.
Taking that into consideration may bring it closer to the 5c mark

from article:
Oddly, the $2 coin's constituent metals, valued at 4.82 cents, were worth less than that of the $1 coin (6.58 cents).
The $2 coin is obviously a much smaller coin than the $1 and is made of the same alloy. So I fail to see why it's smaller intrinsic value would be considered "odd" by anybody.
I'm assuming the values listed are the costs of the materials, and not the cost to mint/manufacture/distribute them as well.

Closer, but not over. Mintage labour costs are still less than a cent a coin, perhaps slightly higher in the case of the ones with strange shapes or edges.
Though it's a little more difficult to break down metal costs and labour costs these days, because the RAM doesn't make its own blanks anymore. They're all imported from South Korea. So the labour cost of producing the blanks is included in the price the RAM pays for the blanks. I'm not sure whether the Treasury figures quoted are the actual prices paid by the RAM for blanks, or were simply the "spot-metal" calculations like you could get off of sites like
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. -

I thought I made a post about this after my recent visit to the mint, but I did a search and could not find it.
The person doing the presentation said it cost 7 cents to make a 5 cent coin.
No idea of exactly what went into the 7 cent figure.

Well we haven't seen or heard that the 5 cent piece is going to be discontinued, although there was ample discussion years ago.
SAP sll true about the off-shoring of the blanks. We never get full details...there's always bound to be a figure that no-one actually ever sees.

Pressure to eliminate the 5c piece, alter the composition or resize the coinage, has subsided somewhat in recent times although long-term I don't think it's a matter of if, but when.
The price of nickel pre-GFC would have been a primary factor, which also saw the US review coin composition.
I've assembled the following table to show the $A Cu/Ni composition at LME spot price for 5 years ago, during the depth of the GFC and current.
Coin | Ap2007 | Ja2009 | Ja2012
0.05 | 0.0555 | 0.0171 | 0.0208
0.10 | 0.1111 | 0.0342 | 0.0417
0.20 | 0.2221 | 0.0684 | 0.0834
0.50 | 0.3057 | 0.0941 | 0.1148
These figures are purely metal prices, and do not take into account blanks, coining, distribution or administration.

I read similar articles before. The same story happened on US 1cent coin before. Just curious, if the mental value greater than the face value of coin, is there any chance that we (anyone) sell them based on mental value? If not, there is no difference. Just like the notes, they worth nothing, just the numbers on them making difference.

Well FNQ, your stats are suggesting that the prices of the metals (or Cu/Ni specifically) has decresed dramatically.
Which tells me that the main discussion for discontinuation of the 5c piece would have been back in 2007.
What do you think?
It is a matter of when, but it's getting dragged along...longer & longer.

I sold all my one and two cent coins to a scrap metal dealer for a little less than twice face value. Eventually the same will hapen with the coins we have now. I dont think it will be for a while but the metal content will be more than face and they will be replaced.

Nickel at that stage was around A$29 a pound, whereas it's currently about $8, so yes the base metal cost pressure has subsided.
In the US they enacted legislation to prevent people melting down or exporting pennies and nickels.
@enworb lol Nice way to make a bit on your "investment", but I hope you kept the good ones.

The National Organization for Marriage has been facing some fundraising difficulties since its goal of stopping marriage equality in the U.S. has become increasingly futile. So perhaps that's why NOM's president, Brian Brown, had to struggle a bit to find accomplishments to boast of in a year-end fundraising message he sent to supporters today. In the video message, Brown boasts that his group turned out "tens of thousands of people" to attend this year's March for Marriage in Washington. At the time, the group estimated that it had attracted a crowd of 10,000... MORE

Albert Mohler's most recent book, "We Cannot Be Silent," got a lot of attention for the Southern Baptist leader's argument that Christians should boycott gay family member's weddings. But that was just part of Mohler's thesis, which he started with a history of "the breakdown of marriage as an institution," including widespread contraceptive use, liberalized divorce laws and cohabitation. In an interview with the "Christian Worldview" radio program on Saturday, Mohler went over this argument again, chastising Christians for failing... MORE

The National Organization for Marriage, a group that was founded to stop marriage equality but has since embraced other anti-LGBT causes, announced today that it has endorsed Ted Cruz for president, asking conservatives to coalesce around the Texas senator's candidacy. Cruz, who has actively courted even the most radical of anti-gay activists, including those who believe that the government should execute gay people, was one of several GOP presidential candidates who signed NOM's pledge to back a constitutional amendment banning same-sex...

An urgent fundraising appeal from the Family Research Council's Tony Perkins today: I've never seen a year like 2015. And 2016 may be worse—unless Christians like us get ready now.

Liberty Counsel is crowing that its client, Rowan County, Kentucky, clerk Kim Davis, was "invited to attend the festivities" surrounding today's inauguration of Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin. Bevin was an outspoken defender of Davis's refusal to follow a federal court order that her office grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples after the U.S. Supreme Court's marriage equality ruling. Liberty Counsel's Mat Staver has no doubts that Bevin's "absolute" backing of Davis helped put him over the top in the election. "There is no question... MORE

Mike Huckabee once again insisted that Supreme Court rulings are simply opinions that carry no legal authority if not for the "good will" and "assent" of the legislative and executive branches, this time making the case for defiance of the top court in an interview with Robert George on the Catholic television network EWTN this weekend. If elected president, Huckabee said, he would "absolutely decline" to enforce the Supreme Court's marriage equality decision and order the Justice Department to "protect in every way the rights of those citizens...

In an interview with influential social conservative commentator Robert George on the Catholic television network EWTN last month, Sen.

George, the co-founder of the National Organization for Marriage and a mentor of Cruz's, likened the court's "tragic mistake" in Obergefell to infamous Supreme Court decisions including Dred Scott, asking Cruz,...

Interesting thread! I've read it and actually decided to cancel my order on audio-gd reference 5.2 and buy a rega instead :D
I'm going to be using it for listening through headphones though. Anyone care to share his experience in such setup?
Now I'm trying to decide what amp I'm gonna get. Currently I have LCD 2.2 as headphones buy am planning to getting a compliment for orchestral works (classics): probably either hd800 or T1 or maybe Hifiman 500.
Tomorrow I'm probably gonna visit a local hifi store and they have regas for sale, also they have the musical fidelity m1 hpa. How does it go with rega and LCD2? Or may it's better to go for musical fidelity DAC too. I'm annoyed with mentioned quality of regas power cord etc...

The Rega is warm and musical. A nice all-rounder.
I went with the W4S DAC-2 because it has a much better usb interface
I wish I still had the Rega to compare, but fed with the Stello U3 usb converter vs direct usb
Another British design that I haven't heard much about yet is the new Arcam. It'll probably be good, but pricey

I have a Rega DAC in my headphone setup. Moved it from my 2 channel setup when I got the CA Stream Magic 6.
I like the Rega DAC sound. It is nice an earthy, with a full body sound and it is very resolving as well. It is very musical, and good with all sorts of music, from rock, pop, jazz, classical.
The Stream Magic 6 DAC section (same as the CA DacMagic Plus) is a bit brighter then the Rega DAC, and a tad less musically involving.

I have limited experience of the competition but I'd agree with these comments. With a basic USB cable upgrade and something like Audirvana pro it brings the best out of all my cans.

I have both Rega Dac and Audio-GD ref 5 (not 5.2, but the original which still have 2 transformer instead of 1).
IMHO, ref 5 have better synergy with LCD 2.2 compare with Rega.
I agree with the comment that Rega is warm and musical, so Rega with LCD 2.2 is a bit too warm for my taste.
Rega have a very good synergy with Grado line though.
I enjoy it a lot with my RS1i, and the synergy of Rega DAC, Woo 6SE and RS1i is one of the best I heard :)
Not sure with T1, HE500 or HD800 though, but my TH900 also have better synergy with ref 5.

Quick heads up.
Been trying out Audirvana 1.4 with my Rega Dac and Audiophilleo 2.
My god this software player sounds mighty fine. I was using Pure Music, but the latest update didn't sit too well with me soundwise. Tried Audirvana on a free trial and OMG what an improvement. The sense of space around each instruments is truly phenomenal.
Definitely worth a check out.

What break-in time should I expect? I'll be driving it from USB Input until I can afford to get a USB to SPDIF converter. Probably the Audiophilleo with PurePower.

Tomorrow I'll receive the Rega DAC, after reading this thread I have high hopes for it to end my dac search for a while. I don't use headphones, I have a vinyl setup, Harbeth M30 speakers and I already own the first dac produced by Rega, called "IO", I use it with it's original companion the "Jupiter" transport. I've had the Jupiter/IO for ten years now, which tells you how little I suffer from "audiophilia nervosa" when a component does it right for me. My love is music, not hi-fi equipment. I expect the new DAC to improve the IO and allow me to use a late 2009 Mac Mini with SSD for HD music while keeping the Jupiter for CD playback. I have already tried the Micromega MyDac, Audiolab MDac, Peachtree Dacit and Peachtree iDac. None of them convinced me for different reasons, but a common issue was that I found them uninvolving. I won't extend on adjectives since I am not technically literate or inclined, I just know when I enjoy a good system because it grabs me, it demands me to listen, pay attention and enjoy the music. As for the Mac Mini, I have read in many posts that the stock USB on the Rega is the least desirable input, but I don't want to order a convertor right away, so I'll start out using the Mini's optical output, which on paper is supposed to be pretty lousy due to high levels of jitter, but maybe my ears will tell me a different story. This finally gets me to my question: why should it be important that the source, in this case the Mac Mini's optical out, has low jitter? Doesn't the DAC reclock and output a fresh signal?
I read an article in Enjoy The Music entitled "Myths And Misconceptions About CD Players And DACs" that addresses this and concludes that:
When the Jittered audio signal arrives at the DAC, it is quantized into place temporally and is then played, in perfect synch with the clock oscillator, which is right next to it.
Is this the way the Rega Dac works? Why should the jitter produced by the MacMini's optical out be so important then?

The Rega DAC uses the Wolfson 8805 SPDIF receiver chip which apparently has jitter rejection of 50ps, whatever that means, although I know that the lower the number the better.
I ran the Mac Mini via optical to the Rega DAC in my main system for a while. Then introduced and Audio-GD DI v.1 to the chain. The difference was very slight, which less harshness in the treble and slightly smoother sound via the DI then straight optical from the Mac Mini. I'll have to try the optical again since I've moved the Rega DAC to my headphone setup recently.
I'm still on the lookout for a good, inexpensive USB to SPDIF converter for the DAC as the Audio-GD DI v.1 only does up to 24/96.

I'm liking the Rega sound so far, although using it with an el-cheapo 1.5 m usb printer cable. I answered my own question regarding break-in when reading though the entire thread. I have an audiophilleo / Purepower on order and some ww usb cables to try out. Has anyone found any higher-end usb cables to make much of a difference when using them with a USB to SPDIF converter?
I would say I am 99% sure that expensive audiophile USB are simply a waste of money and will make no difference.

The difference between a cheap USB cable performance and a really good USB cable performance is the amount of jitter that it adds. Jitter is added through several mechanisms:
1) losses
2) Inter-symbol interference (ISI)
3) reflections due to impedance discontinuities
All of these have an effect at the USB receiver.
Now, whether or not this affects the audio stream depends on the USB interface. If it is an optimally implemented Asynchronous or block-transfer protocol, then the jitter does not matter. It is buffered at the receiver just like a disk drive or printer. The master clock is in the receiving device.
However, if it is a Adaptive-mode USB protocol, then it is sensitive to the jitter as this is passed through a PLL that recovers the clock. The master clock from the computer is used. The USB cable will have an effect in this case.
This does not mean that one USB protocol will necessarily sound a lot better than the other. All three USB modes be excellent, with jitter on the threshold of audibility. The ultimate performance depends on the clock quality and implementation.

Hmmm well I did some reading about this a while back and came to the conclusion that it is pretty unlikely that it will make any difference and is most likely just the usual cable company culprits trying to get your money!
From what I have read the digital information does not need to be THAT precise anyway as it is either a 1 or a 0 and there is a tolerance in the analogue waves voltages which even a basic (non faulty and well shielded) cable should be able to handle easily.... Unlike fully analogue VGA or RCA cables etc. which can easily distort and have an audible effect on the SQ.
Also the error checking on a decent dac and computer should not have any packet losses... I also read a few tests which were carried out with cheap and expensive USB cables and in both cases the data was 100% correct.... Although this was on an ASYNC dac IIRC. I also read one where the "audiophile" usb cable measured WORSE than a cheap one!
It is just data at the end of the day, the same as sending information to a printer and from what I understand the USB protocol's and error checking are easily capable of delivering bitperfect audio on any non faulty USB cable...
Most of those reasons are probably just marketing TBH Although apparently the Rega USB input is not its strong point.... Maybe you would be better using a decent soundcard and the coaxial S/PDIF?
Anyway I am not really an expert, I am not a "objectivist cynic" either, but from what I have read I doubt that anything more than a decent quality £15 max USB cable is going to make any difference at all to sound quality... I think if there was packet loss it would be in the form of pops and crackling noises etc. eg. blatantly obvious as opposed to a subtle decrease in sound quality....
If you do decide to buy one and try it out then make sure the testing is blind A/B testing, because it is suprising how much of a difference "expectation bias" can make to the way things sound to you. I would be interested to hear the results if you do decide to try BLIND A/B test of audiphile vs standard USB cables.

Zuckerberg spending spree raises eyebrows
Facebook's latest multibillion dollar acquisition of virtual reality headset maker Oculus is prompting some people to wonder if CEO Mark Zuckerberg is already living in an alternate reality.
Longtime technology analyst Roger Kay wonders whether Zuckerberg "is nuts" for agreeing to pay $2 billion for Oculus less than five weeks after inking a deal to buy WhatsApp for $19 billion.
Oculus, which got its start on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter, doesn't have a consumer product on the market, just the promise of bulky virtual reality goggles that have generated huge buzz in the video gaming community.
Zuckerberg, for his part, sees long-term implications in the technology, for communication, entertainment and beyond. He was right about mobile, and he's created the world's biggest online social network.
So, is he looney, or visionary?
"Mobile is the platform of today and now we're starting to also get ready for the platforms of tomorrow. To me, by far the most exciting future platform is around vision or modifying what you see to create augmented and immersive experiences," Zuckerberg said on a conference call Tuesday discussing the deal. "Today's acquisition is a long-term bet on the future of computing. I believe Oculus can be one of the platforms of this future."
Facebook's investors seem to think Oculus' promise is too far off. The Menlo Park, Calif.-based social networking company's stock fell 7 percent on Wednesday to close at $60.38.
Beyond sticker shock, the WhatsApp and Oculus deals – along with the Facebook's spurned offer to buy SnapChat for $3 billion – have raised questions about Facebook's ability to innovate on its own. Some of the company's most high-profile products, such as the SnapChat-like Poke, the messaging service Facebook Messenger and Home, have flopped. The jury's still out on Paper, a stand-alone app that lets users read news, Facebook feeds and more.
"Facebook I don't think has the best innovation strategy," says Gartner analyst Brian Blau. "So far it's been 'move fast and break things.' Move fast is good, but break things, may not be."
Blau calls the Oculus acquisition "kind of out of left field."
"We have always thought about experience as a focus of virtual reality," he says. "Certainly it can be social, but we have not thought about it as a core social experience."
That's not to say it can't work. There were questions about Facebook's acquisition of Instagram back when it offered $1 billion for the photo-sharing app (the final purchase price was $715 million) in April 2012 – and Instagram "turned out fine," Blau points out. Facebook said Tuesday that Instagram has 200 million users, up from 30 million at the time it agreed to buy the company.
As the former CEO and co-founder of MySpace, Chris DeWolfe has learned the hard way that Zuckerberg knows what he is doing. MySpace once reigned as the Internet's largest social network only to be eclipsed by Facebook as Zuckerberg constantly tweaked the service and added more compelling features.
Although he has no idea what Zuckerberg will do with Oculus, DeWolfe figures Facebook's $154 billion market value gave him the flexibility to wager on a technology that could break new ground. "Given Facebook's size, this deal doesn't seem that weird to me," DeWolfe said.
Like Facebook, Google is led by a CEO, Larry Page, who has vowed to make huge investments building or buying technology that might not pay off for years. Page can do pretty much as he pleases, too, as long as he gains the support of fellow co-founder Sergey Brin and Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt. The trio collectively controls enough votes to overrule the rest of Google's shareholders.
Google has made more than 230 acquisitions since going public nearly a decade ago, but most of those deals have been relatively small for a company that now generates more than $50 billion in annual revenue.
A few of the deals have been large enough for some investors to wonder whether Google's brain trust had lost its senses.
When Google bought YouTube in 2006 for $1.76 billion in stock, some analysts questioned whether the company had paid far too much for a video site with virtually no revenue and a huge stack of potentially expensive legal claims for copyright infringement. But that deal is now widely viewed as a brilliant move. YouTube has productive relationships with most movie and television studios and sells billions of dollars in video advertising while amassing a worldwide audience of more than 1 billion people.
Google's biggest acquisition, a $12.4 billion purchase of troubled cellphone maker Motorola Mobility, turned out to be a dud, just as many analysts predicted it would be when the deal was announced in 2011. Google wound up selling all of Motorola's device divisions for a combined $5.25 billion, leaving the company with a portfolio of mobile patents that help ward off lawsuits against Google's Android software.
