Honestly though, with a company that big and doing business globally I would imagine that the EU would want to investigate the merger even if they were not legally required to.
Something with that amount of potential impact shouldn't be left up to just one country
Thats silly. Everyone knows that the responsibility to raise our children lays with the government. After all, they do know whats best for us!:rolleyes:
On the other hand we've all seen how successfull the big three have been when it comes to leaving big oil.
I really think that its going to take some companies thinking outside the traditional car culture to have success with electrics and why wouldn't Silicon Valley be a good place for that?
Not to mention that the state of California would be interested in supporting that.
Now about that GM electric, would that be the one that they haven't been able to get right in 20 years?
At the same time though, wouldn't Apple's (and also Google's) potential profit increase with the exposure to multiple carriers. I think that Apple would have been much more successfull with the iPhone had they marketed it across multiple platforms and I think that Google is going to look at that example and do what Apple didn't

Would it be possible to cry-ass a little more? Please?

That wouldn't be bribery according to the law but that does smack of unethical use of marketshare power
I don't think we're actually disagreeing, just having a difference of opinion on the semantics. Either way the system is screwey
I'm pretty sure they are calling it a dirty deal because of the BRIBERY not the actual marketing side *rolleyes*
