The www is out there if these people are any good they won't sink, they will flourish, don't back moaning losers.

The Murdock thing is nothing to do with them.

Basically you would be better ignoring them and just asking Roy how he pays bills for a website, I think you would find it's a little like google, (not as big), but people use it because it works.
Don't waste your precious time just because they have caught your ear and drone on about how it's not fair.

EU antitrust probe fishes for Google secrets ? The Register

One would assume that Google's home state of Califonia would back up probably their most famous company. But wait...what's this?

Still, innocent until proven guilty. I suspect it will be a few years yet before we see the outcome of either investigation.

It's a very real worry for the majority of it's constituents.

Indeed, Garinda...but as you are no doubt aware European justice systems are based upon an inquisitorial rather than an adversarial philosophy (as in the UK & USA). I would assume therefore, that while Google are not charged we may eventually see enough evidence against them to result in a whacking great fine and an order to alter or relinquish some of their operating methodology.
