I dunno; I don't really care about any of it; I've never trusted them enough to use any of their products I wasn't actually giving them money for.

Lolwut? No, actually, they don't. They didn't beat Yelp in the early days because they weren't in the game. They may eventually do so, as Yelp degenerates into a stupid protection racket, but hopefully this entire idea goes away, as until they solve the sibyl problem, its a horse shit idea.
And if they started doing crap like this (for no reason, mind you: google is an ad company), they'd very likely end up lots of little baby googles the way ATT did. They probably will anyway. And good riddance to bad rubbish.
Of course they've long since jumped the shark, and even removed the "don't be evil" part of their corporate motto.
