"I, for one, welcome our new computer overlords ..."

More proof that Google is all about open access to the web for all ... so long as it's through Google ... Microsoft Files EU Complaint Against Google - NPR

Oh great, another dmg schadenfreude posting.

What is it with you and Google, dmg? Did you miss out on the IPO? Your clients don't show up high enough in the search results? (SEO? what's that?)

I, for one, welcome ... oh, never mind. chump.
