Google said Sunday that Microsoft's proposed $44.6 billion takeover of Yahoo could pose a number of potential threats to competition that need to be examined by policymakers around the world.

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 federal regulators to take any specific actions at this time.

Google has turned into nothing but a giant corporation that can't stand a little competition. Down with Google.

Microsoft doesn't have to start one, they will just buy one.

Microsoft bought DOS it did not write it.

Microsoft pirated windows from Apple they did not invent it.

Microsoft bought Internet Explorer, by buying Spyglass corp, they did not create it.

Now Microsoft wants to buy a search engine, because they cannot create one.

Congressman Robert Wexler said on the Radio[WFTL] that Bill Gates invented the internet. The US scientists at the department of defense designed the internet at our expense and America should own it, not Bill Gates.

Gates did not have anything to do with the internet, he just wants to buy it!!!

The internet is like the airwaves. The people should own them, but politicians give them away
to big monopolies.

How much is involved in starting one of these advertising-driven email/search engine thingies?
