For quite a few days, blog post and tweets from the seniors officials of Google and Microsoft seem to have a reserve counter to hit out at each other. Google blogged a post, Microsoft replied with some tips and replies to Google. Drummond yet again came back with an explanation, but the war was never over. Frank Shaw now yet again hits back with his tweets to keep the online war at its very best. It surely seems like that these giants want to let everyone know that they are fighting and fighting for a cause which can mold the tech world to a great extent.
Late Thursday, there was an update from Google which was posted on the original Google blog which was a reply to Shaw’s and Smith’s tweets by Drummond. Drummond blogged that the reasons were obvious from Google’s end and the offer from Microsoft was a trap which Google escaped to fall for. He then wrote that Google was trying its level best to protect Android from the possible attacks by the Software Giant.
If one was of the thought that Drummond was successful in ending the matter with his detailed blog post, then they were surely wrong because that blog post was a screed and Microsoft had its own say to keep the story rolling. 
Frank Shaw wasted no time to reply to Drummond by tweeting four tweets which could have weighed as a blog post too. In his tweets, he said that Google was offered a joint acquisition offer from Microsoft and the reason behind their rejection was that they wanted to get these patents from assertion purpose only which could be done by Google against others like Microsoft. He added to his point that Google was not interested in working with others. Theoretically, Shaw’s reply looks to zip Google’s claims as the purported stance of Google looks to be against the questionable patent system on a large scale.
Shaw did let out another tweet in which he said that Microsoft was of the thought that Google had entered into talks with Novell for the sale of patents but it was still unclear that did Google actually even bid for those patents? For Nortel, undoubtedly Google had made several bids.
But this online war has been taken altogether to a different level and it seems it would never end. This was started when Google made it public and Microsoft couldn’t help, but to reply. In other similar cases, usually lawyers are appointed to fight it off in the court or outside the court. Government even at times intervenes the talks but this looks like a free show for the public which people surely love.
Google and Microsoft are involved so much in their fight that no one else has been able to interfere in the fight. Other patent holders such as Apple and Oracle have not commented on this online war. However the response seems like there might be a few more to add in with blog posts and tweets.
