Govt. hires Oklahoma bomber lawyer for Google litigation
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, April 27 2012 @ 09:10 PM EDT
Not to mention that this lawyer was actually part of Fannie
Mae who played the
mortgage market and brought financial ruin
to countless families across the
country with their own
monopoly over the mortgage market!

Govt. hires Oklahoma bomber lawyer for Google litigation
Authored by: Gringo_ on Friday, April 27 2012 @ 11:28 PM EDT

Now Google wields the same sort of power that Microsoft once did, and is under the same sort of scrutiny. Mr. Broder said antitrust cases charging the abuse of a monopoly are difficult to prove.

"Now Google wields the same sort of power that Microsoft once did" - not! Microsoft had the desktop market sowed up, and ensured there was no viable competitors, made sure that only Windows was installed by OEMs. Competition was strangled by a series of dirty tricks. For Google, however, alternatives are only a mouse click away if you don't like them. They could be wiped out almost overnight if they behaved like Microsoft and everybody turned against them. People never had such a threat hanging over Microsoft's head.

"There is a lot of very complex economics involved," he said. "It can be done. But Google will undoubtedly bring to bear tremendous resources itself."

"But Google will undoubtedly bring to bear tremendous resources itself". ...like maybe the plain simple truth? Microsoft backed opponents will have a hard time defending themselves against that. It is so unfair to them!

Google controls about 66 percent of the United States search market, according to comScore. Microsoft’s Bing accounts for about 15 percent of Internet searches, with Yahoo gathering 14 percent.

66 percent of the United States search market is a monopoly?
