This lawsuit was filed after NSA was found with its hand in the cookie jar. I think devindotcom means, why were these tech companies not fighting this years ago. I guess you cannot fault Eric Schmidt, because he has been dropping lines like these [1] for years.

  We know where you are. We know where you’ve been.
  We can more or less know what you’re thinking about

  Just remember when you post something, the computers
  remember forever

Are you implying that he's living in a google bubble? I just searched with multiple search engines, with different browsers, and even with different IPs and they all returned a link to the same effect. Different sources (prweb on most), but still the same story.
