Google and Yahoo fling earns Justice Department's evil eye

Another Seattlement? 

Google and Y! must be scared sleepless. NOT.

If the DOJ's handling of MS is anything to go by, the DOJ watchdogs have rubber teeth and nothing will happen until the EU does something.

Maybe... 

Maybe having a DOJ inquiring into Yahoo! would discourage Microsoft? Maybe that's what G & Y! want...

Funniest Thing 

The funniest thing in this matter so far was about two weeks ago when Microsoft was complaining that no one should be allowed 90% of a market.

Still waiting to see what happens when folks start drawing parallels between Googl-Hoo's combined share of the search/ad market and Microsoft's share of the PC OS market.

Surely, Microsoft doesn't believe that a monopoly is *always* a bad thing.
