    After hearing the results of several antitrust cases, the standard of evidence for anti competitive behavior seems impossibly high with current laws and precedents.

      Google seems more and more like an up-jumped shopping mall directory. It’s great if I’m looking for something to buy, but for finding anything not related to commerce I also have better luck with a different search engine.
