Anyone for tennis?

A renowned architect has accused Google of racketeering, saying in a lawsuit the company has a pattern of stealing trade secrets from people it first invites to collaborate.

Architect Eli Attia said he spent 50 years developing what his lawsuit calls "game-changing new technology" for building construction.

Google in 2010 struck a deal to work with him on commercialisng it as software, and Attia moved with his family from New York to Palo Alto to focus on the initiative, code-named "Project Genie." The project was undertaken in Google's secretive "Google X" unit for experimental "moonshots."
