Not millions. Bilions may be. 5 - 6% of their annual revenue comes from Apple. So, yeah, it is a big deal for them to keep Apple as a customer. There was a recent incident when a rumor floated in the S. Korean stock market that Apple is dropping Samsung from supplying memory for next gen devices and the stock tumbled 6% within hours. So, as Joe Biden puts it "It is a BFD".

It certainly wasn't google's idea. Those who are old enough have used other crappy search engines that existed before google. And, google isn't a saint of a search engine either. They paid Yahoo $2.2 billion (in stocks) when they IPO'd to settle the claim they stole adwords IP from Idealabs (later acquired by Overture which itself was acquired by Yahoo which then had 4% stake in Google). Nobody pays $2.2 billion to settle a lawsuit just because they have money. Where there is a smoke, there is a fire.Even more reasons to hate apple... And now they're basically saying that the Google search engine was their idea... A patent for "being able to search multiple sources through a single interface (Apple's Siri)"
Really?
