I think they are getting punished for their success. If Google favors Google you either care or you don’t care. If you care, check out Yahoo or Bing. If you don’t care then.. you don’t care.
As with most services, consumers vote with their feet.
Herb is retiring, hopefully this stupidity.
If Google were hobbling competition with dubious software patent lawsuits, I would favor throwing the anti-trust book at them. But they have usually been on the side of openness and innovation.
