Google Claims They "Just Aren't That Big"
The New York Times is reporting that Google is making the case that they just aren't that big, especially from an anti-trust point of view. While they certainly corner the market in search, advertising, and online video, Dana Wagner, Google's "senior competition counsel," is working hard to convince the public that "competition is a click away." "None of the investigations take aim at Google's core advertising business. And unlike other technology giants in years past, Google has not been accused of anticompetitive tactics. But the investigations and carping from competitors and critics have Google fighting to dispel the notion that it has a lock on its market, even as it increases its share of search and online advertising. Eyes are rolling, especially in reaction to the idea that Google is a relatively small player in a giant market. 'They describe where they are in a market under a kind of a fairy-tale spun gloss that doesn't reflect their dominance of key sectors,' said Jeff Chester, executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy. 'Google search is an absolute must-have for every marketer in the world.'"
You fucking piece of shit shill. Sorry ass Windows is the only OS I've seen that the file manager is also the fucking web browser. It's trivial to make a high quality system where that isn't the case. And the only reason Winduhs has them so closely linked is to fool the DOJ and idiots like you so they wouldn't be forced to deliver the OS without IE.
Motherfucker, thanks to little snots like you, Windows users suffered with the inferior IE 6 for years and years while Microshaft sat on their collective laurels. Were it not for Opera, Mozilla, et al, introducing things like tabs, etc., we'd all still be stuck with the same old shift year after year.
Fuck you. I hope you slit your lying tongue with your razor tomorrow morning then choke to death on your own blood.
