What real difference does it make which company "wins"? We aren't paying anything, so we aren't standing to lose. Either way we just go on using the service like normal.
The only people with stakes in this competition are Google and Yahoo CEOs and shareholders. And I couldn't care less if one of them can't buy his new ivory backscratcher.
Although if Yahoo folds then I lose Launchcast. Then I might be a tad miffed.
Protesting about this would require way to much effort for Joe Sixpack. I mean, in order to write a nasty letter to Congress, he'd have to put down that beer, move his fat ass off the chair to find some paper and remember how to string together a sentence. And by then the beer will have gotten warm.
Anyways, we're talking about a department that thinks nail clippers represent a serious threat to human life. Don't expect intelligent management decisions from these people.
