Grant Allen / @grantjallen: I think Google was giving Apple like $20B reasons a year why they shouldn't make their own search engine 🚨APPLE JOINS GOOGLE ANTITRUST FIGHT...TO PROTECT ITS $20 BILLION CHECK Apple is stepping into Google's antitrust trial, saying it can't count on its $20 billion-a-year partner to defend their sweet deal ... Apple swears it's not building its own search engine, even if the deal goes south. Instead, they want to bring in witnesses to the April trial to protect their interests... Translation: this trial isn't just about competition -- it's about who controls what you search, and who rakes in billions from it. Stay tuned for fireworks.
