"Apple will reportedly receive 20 billion USD for having Google as the default search engine."

Now there's some easy money. Receiving 20 billion for doing absolutely nothing. To literally keeps things as-is. No product moved, no labor performed, no service provided. Just leave it. And we wire you 20 billion USD.

Simply buying the market in the open, without a care in the world. The things we let companies get away with. Astounding.
