Apple, Google, Intel and Adobe all formed a pact, which was acclaimed in the lawsuit and proved to be correct, so none of these companies hired any employees who work for one of the other three. That has caused sort of a quad-opoly, allowing the employers to pay lower than they might have had there been a competition over the employees.
As a result of the lawsuit, which represents 60,000 Silicon Valley employees the companies were required to settle the matter with the employees who were hurt by the agreements, and hence came the settlement, which judge Lucy Koh ruled was too low, requiring the companies to up their bid by $60 million.
Judge Koh wants Google, Apple, Adobe, Intel "no-poach" settlement to be at least $380 million - $50 million more than what was proposed.

The quadruple's deal was revealed by email conversations which were uncovered following the lawsuits, in which the scandal was discovered. One of the causes of the companies' agreement was the scrapping of plans to build a Google center in Paris.
Apparently Google scrapped plans for engineering center in Paris because Jobs objected to Goog hiring three FORMER Apple engineers, per Koh
