Google Accused of "Cooking" Search Results and Charging MSFT Too Much

Posted by samzenpus on from the piling-on dept.

A reader writes "Google is being scrutinized by the Senate Antitrust Subcommittee for supposedly 'cooking' their search results. In an independent study comparing search results for products, Google Shopping consistently ranked 3rd. Eric Scmidt denied these accusations at a Senate hearing Wednesday." On top of all that, Microsoft is alleging that Google overcharges them as much as fifty-fold for advertising prices as compared to other buyers.

    Fortunately, the US is not the guardian of humanity.

    Of course, given their nuclear arsenal, aliens arriving at Earth would assume they are in charge of wiping out humanity...

    I don't see Bing advertising Google nor Microsoft advertising Linux.

    Search for "Linux" on Bing and if your eyes are open then you will see the advertisements on the right hand side for Linux stuff.

    The key thing is to have your eyes open. If they are still shut, you wont see them.

    Search for "Google" on Bing and if your eyes are open then you will see the advertisement on the right hand side for google.com

    The key thing is to have your eyes open. If they are still shut, you wont see them.

    The choice is yours. You can either open your eyes, or remain a jackass ignorant fucknut.
