Well.. DUH...

Anti-trust my butt...

Google got where it is by giving their users/clients what they want. And guess what? They are now big enough to offer their services at a lower cost than wanna-be competitors. That's the business world for you. Nothing wrong about it unlike what MS does with their monopoly. Google doesn't try to stifle the competition using strong arm tactics, They are just able to make profit while charging less.

Anti-Trust? MS basically threw money/services/discounts at LOTS of other companies to get them to adopt an "MS-only" mentality. And seem to have gotten away with it.

No teeth

The us antitrust bodies are a joke. They failed to do anything about the Microsoft monopoly and they will fail to do anything about a Google monopoly.

The EU showed much more integrity when dealing with the Microsoft monopoly, yet even they failed to make a significant impact. Just accept that megacorporations outgrew any regulation.

Monopolies are legal

It's using your monopolized position for gain that's illegal. And I don't think Google has done that... yet.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
