Somebody has to stop Google. Has there ever been a more obvious case of a Monopoly with global reach?

Google are the greediest and most powerful corporation the World has ever seen. It looks like they won’t be happy until they pocket 99% of all online revenues.

At a guess this new service will be terrible like everything else they touch. Anything thing Google do that’s any good has been bought in from outside.

Have you seen Merchant Search in a One-box? Or is your mockup just an example of what Google could do if they wanted to?

This should be a good thing for the market and Google as a whole, it is more surprising that it has taken this long for the project to commence. Not too scary after all.

As for the spelling mistake, luckily that is not a real Google result!

This is getting scary and annoying at the same time. I wonder how long it will be until Google profits directly from all the spots on the first page…
