Posted by kdawson on from the pot-and-kettle dept.

    After all, it takes a convicted monopolist to spot another one in the making.

    This antitrust suit will end in Google being declared a monopoly in the online advertising business. Luckily for Google, they will be allowed to define their own punishment, and offer discount coupons for discounts on B-level keywords only. ;) Yes, some of us learn from history.
