Google has a habit of ripping off others in my opinion – e.g., authors and programmers – so I love to see them whine about it. Bing and Yahoo Search work fine, and the world would lose nothing if Google went under from patent suits.

monopoly? what about yahoo & bing? they are still there for a competition…..just that google is better choice for most search user…. what about baidu(monopoly in china?)

Monopoly is not necessarily an “evil” thing.
