I wish the government would stay out of these matters. If you don't want to use a single Google product you as a consumer don't have to. Google provides a very high quality product and competitors don't like it. I don't like it when my competition is better than me either but I don't think to file lawsuits about it. I think these cases is about making a statement rather than improving anything for consumers. The attitude of consumers is pretty clear given that most everyone uses Google. If I felt like I was being deprived of good search results I would switch. How many people here on HN have wondered if Google is in decline anyway? I know it's occurred to me. What is the government hoping to do with this case?

Exactly. I've had the idea of using Google to find information ingrained in me since elementary school when they taught us how to efficiently search with it. I use Chrome, google apps for business, google talk, android os, and plenty of other wonderful Google products simply because they are high quality products supported by a name I can trust. I haven't thought much about Google in decline as I see it as almost impossible at this point in time. They have the number one search engine in the world that is used by a crazy 1/6 of the population on Earth. With other tech giants though such as Facebook, I've been thinking recently about whether or not they're declining already or if they'll continue to grow.
