The hypocrisy is unbelievable:

Google is a major investor in patent troll firm Intellectual Ventures.

Amazon, Apple, Cisco, eBay, Microsoft, etc. are also investors but they are not acting like whiny babies and acting all high and mighty going around preaching about how patents are destroying innovation.
