Googles race to outgrow apple, hits a major roadblock.

Sun company, creator of the program " java" is suing google for using java on it's android system. They could be looking at more then 1 billion dollars. Details are still coming in, but this will be a huge blow to google if it is accepted by the courts.

It's not really an issue. Google can afford the $1 billion easily and hardly dent its bottom line in any meaningful way.

Yeah they " can " afford it. But its is also taking a toll on stock price. Which was 504 $ a share, and is now $488.

Seems like they just want a piece of the pie.

Another company suing... Every week there is a headline like this.
