      It makes me think back to the Microsoft anti-trust lawsuits. I don't understand how a company wouldn't return its own search results, but I can see why the argument is being made. I think in the case of Google, there are such a diverse number of products being made there, it's hard for them not to become so inextricably linked that such a situation would occur.


      You have been warned.

        The Ma Bell break up would be exactly what I would liken it to. The internet is a utility. Everyone knows it. It's only a matter of time before it is treated as such.
