Dante Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 This is the kind of thing that gets me upset. Gee, we have a innovative, ground breaking company. One that treats its employees like gold. Oh yeah, it also brings in millions of dollars a day into the US economy. And last time I checked, didn't charge the user for it's product. Lets go after them! Hey, a little heads up for you all. The oil industry has been using thier monopoly for years. Show some balls and go after them. A real threat. I suppose they're too powerful and probably line the right pockets daily. Looks like Google haven't learned to do that yet. What a fuggin joke. http://www.wired.com/techbiz/it/magazine/17-08/mf_googlopoly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who voted for President Obama has permanently lost the right to b*tch over his policies. For the most part, he has stayed relatively true to his early, leftist campaign.

IDBillzFan Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Give it time. We're only six month into this disaster. Fear not. We just picked up $100 million dollars, because yesterday was the deadline for the president's cabinet members to present $100 million in cost savings, and that money is going to go a long way to...uhhh..to help...uhhh.... Hey...did anyone see all the stuff that the Cabinet cut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they're getting into the OS business, too, it seems. 65% of a market is a monopoly? In China, Baidu is market leader. Naver is market leader in S. Korea Yandex in Russia Yahoo is market leader in Japan. Google is 60% worldwide..... That's a dominant and powerful position, but it is no monopoly.

What a fuggin joke. http://www.wired.com/techbiz/it/magazine/17-08/mf_googlopoly Let's not go there please ..... As for your main subject, I read through the first page of the linked article and the case (if ever there will be one) appears weak. Google is dominating but that is because of the quality of their product and none of their actions seem to be in violation of any anti-trust laws. The Microsoft case was different where one of the complaints was the default installation of their browser and an apparent difficulty in uninstalling it. I fail to see the similarity and I struggle with the reasons for any upcoming federal action against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
