There are always bought politicians parroting some special interest, that doesn't mean that they have a clue: http://searchengineland.com/dear-congress-its-not-ok-not-to-... And what about innocent until proven guilty?

No it doesn't, it's not bundling if both products are free and it's not bundling when you don't actually own any of them. There are important nuances between the two cases that some people choose to overlook.

Are you a lawyer? as I understand it a court would have to declare a monopoly and in this case none has. Purely from a commonsense point of view however there is no such thing as a monopoly on information retrieval.

I never knew he was an expert on antitrust law! At least it’s expected from the likes of him, it’s less excepted and much more disappointing when actual reporters writing for supposedly credible newspapers start speculating about the law or

Twitter pulled the plug on Google's firehose access which led Google to shutter Realtime search: http://searchengineland.com/google-realtime-search-the-after... It is a tempest in a teapot.

They don't really get to have a say in this. Google doesn't dictate to Twitter how they should conduct their business and Twitter would do well to follow their lead. If I recall correctly Twitter refused to renew Google's firehose access an

This sort of post is further evidence that whenever G+ adds some new feature or publishes new numbers a PR attack is imminent. Usually you can tell straight away by the hyperbolic headlines.

I'm not talking about ads I'm talking about ranking, and not even that, as ranking links doesn't really strike me as the way of the future, I'm referring to when Google shows a map for a location query and flight prices and schedules for a

But who's to say what is "relevant"? and if the user doesn't think this is relevant to her, she can search elsewhere. I'm not even talking about links, there was this thing about the Google Flights result appearing for flight queries and so

Are you a lawyer? would you explain how is it exactly that "tweaking search results" is illegal? because I've noticed that meme going around and I don't think it makes much sense, I'm not saying that they any "tweaking", but if they were to

When this sort of tech pundit makes himself the center of a non-story I do my best to ignore it, I recommend that everyone do the same. Tech blogging has deteriorated to parroting PR releases and slobbering over iStuff, I draw the line at a

Watching all this political discussion happen in September, around an area I know so well, I realized one chilling thing. It’s not that Washington doesn’t know search. It’s not that Washington doesn’t know the internet. It’s that Washingto

Keeping in mind that whenever Google displays an immediate answer interested peoples go up in arms about them "favoring their own products" which somehow led to antitrust investigation in EU/US (new developments on that even today), I fun

That is not entirely fair, automation is the only way to admin millions of users and when nonsensical factors like COPPA get introduced to the system this happens. And I don't think that they did anything wrong here considering the conseque

No it isn't. It's not wrong to notify users of changes, and the notice resides on the same area occupied by the previous navigation tool so as far as those coming from the older design are concerned no extra screen space was used. The notic
