Google bids pi for Nortel’s wireless patent stash, brings comedy to places you never thought possible

Enabling surfers to play Pac-Man instead of actually initiating the search they showed up to complete? Taking a stroll through an episode of Burn Notice? Throwing internet on a magical Indian bus?
