The War On Apple
GoogleIt's the question that techies and investors from Shanghai to Silicon Valley are asking: Did Google just declare war on Apple? This week, the internet company announced the biggest deal in its 15 year history – a $12.5 billion purchase of Motorola's Mobility. With Google and it's popular Android operating system now in control of their own hardware operation, are the iPhone and iPad about to get a run for their money? Our tech guru, the Boston Globe's Hiawatha Bray joins us to discuss.

  Meg Mainzer-Cohen, president of the Back Bay Association
