Relax. There are PLENTY of legal problems for Google.
You have the FRAND investigation in US, EU, SK. The countless lawsuits over Google News. The recent finding in Australia of defamation against Google because of their search results. How that plays out in the future will be interesting. The privacy violations over DNT and major concerns/lawsuits over the cross-product privacy policy in EU, Canada and elsewhere.
Then I expect there to be a wave of lawsuits over Google's intelligent search results e.g. flights, tickets, offers, shopping which are very similar to Microsoft's "embrace and extend" approach.
Seems like everyone misses the "do no evil" Google.
- DannyBee 14y agoGoogle was never "do no evil", only "don't be evil" which is very different.
- BitMastro 14y agoMicrosoft's approach is "embrace, extend and extinguish", spread your FUD right.

See, you left off the end of that strategy: "embrace, extend, extinguish". Maybe if Google wanted to "extinguish" intelligent search results you might even begin to have an argument, but as long as they're just looking to provide a better service, you're just trying to draw connections to a strategy that people in this community [rightfully] react to emotionally and negatively.
