Why does Apple Insider continually use "Google" in this story instead of Motorola Mobility. Yes, Google owns them but they are still their own entity. It's silly to suggest that since a company owns another company that they oversee everything that company does. I think it's fair to say "Google's Motorola Mobility", but if you just read this article you would think that Google itself was behind the advertising campaign.

If Google owns the entity then Google better be behind these campaigns
Have you never worked for a large corporation that owned or was owned by another entity. I have and I can tell you that while we were owned by someone else we still operated as an individual company. Their may have been some changes, but day to day operations were very much unchanged.
