See my comment to this story in which an MIT student went for an interview with them in which she declined their offer yet google went ahead and patented her work. I met with those same scuzbags myself and back her story up.

Wonder why my comment here is being downvoted? It is relevant to what Google is today ....run by arrogance and ignorance that’s catching up them!!
