This. I know some people who work for the former and they are always having to say "no, I don't work for that Motorola". The shared name is entirely historic.

		Mobility is in Merchandise Mart, Solutions is in Schaumburg. Used to be anyways. (My office was a floor below in the mart)

I did. There's long term patent cross-licensing agreements between the two companies. Motorola mobility may be a separate company now, but they didn't start from scratch.

The mororola mobility is a Chinese company with Chinese management. They bought the brand and the patent portfolio. They sure as hell are not supplying Israel or NSA.

Basically lots of judgment based off of superficial facts with little understanding of implications and the actual consequences of those facts.

		They did. You're nitpicking to not lose face while you could have easily say "OK, didn't know they were separate brands" and we'd all move on with our lives.
