Google warns of threats to competition
I just laughed when I read this. Google is complaining that Microsoft’s bid for Yahoo would be a “threat” to innovation? I think the real threat has been “do no evil” Google all along and this is the marketplace’s answer to countering Google’s growing dominance.
Google said in a blog post on its Web site that given Microsoft’s anti-competitive conduct in the past and its continued dominance in the technology industry, the proposed transaction could pose threats to “innovation and openness” on the Internet. But Google’s broadly worded concerns lacked detailed claims about the anticompetitive effects of the deal, and the company did not ask U.S. regulators to take any specific actions at this time.

Gee, just the mere thought of a challenge to Google and you get them crying like little babies with their candy taken away.

More like Microsoft itself sucks at innovation, which is why it’s still third after throwing so much money at the internet.
Yahoo is a big mess but at least they make an effort to please the users, Microsoft acts like the customer is but an afterthought.

Microsoft is sucking at innovation right now and they realize that. Plus I agree with you about their attitude regarding the customer.
Still though, what operating system are you using to surf the Internet?

When I was on the explorer 6 it crashes if I open too many windows, but after upgrading to ie7 it crashes after ten minutes no matter what.
I tried to solve it, many people said the same thing happened to them but there’s no solution so now I’m on firefox.
Btw, have you seen the oPhone?
