Remember when Microsoft had to unbundle IE from Windows (the dominate OS of the time) because it gave them too much of a competitive advantage. Google has a dominate position in:

- The browser

- The search engine

- The Ad network

- The device operating system

- Email communications

Plus more money than god to buy dominance where they don't own it. When is it too much control over the primary means of gathering and distributing information in the modern world.

It feels like their current power position even dwarfs MS's at the start of the browser wars.

Nobody gives a rat's ass about the customer anymore because the customer has nowhere else to go.
