Well, considering their patent litigations, I wouldn't say that Apple try to do that.
As for Google, I'm less worried because there is much less lock-in, both in search and with an OS that is mostly open sourced.
- melange 13y agoSearch is entirely locked in.
- danmaz74 13y agoHow so? Switching is just an URL away...

There is no alternative URL to click on because a competitive global search engine would cost billions of dollars to build, the space is deeply encumbered by Google's giant patent portfolio, and the information used to build the index is to a great extent no longer available on the web. That's why Bing is a distant second and there are no other players.
