The FTC began investigating Google for antitrust violations in mid-2011. The agency reportedly focused on Google's relationship with Android handset makers and whether Google favors its own services in search results.
Competitors of Google, including Microsoft and other members of advocacy group FairSearch.org, have complained that Google is using its search dominance to drive its customers to other Google services.
The Start button is a collection of shortcuts of all installed programs
No, it's not. It's a collection of shortcuts put there by some/most installer programs. If you drag a folder containing an app, like HyperTerm, from another computer, it won't be in the Start menu.
The OS X solution is to make an alias of the actual Applications (or Documents, or Home, or Desktop) folder, and make a nice display of everything that's in there.

Not all sides.
Lobbyists only work on the money sides.
Or a hookah bar.
The problem with (1) is that DNT=0 is the same as DNT isn't set.
Both say it's ok to track, in different ways. 0 means I say yes to tracking, so track. No setting says I say nothing to tracking, so track.
