- Its bad to give more power to google to control all the online world - too much of our privacy data will be used by google , i dont understand why still they have "make no evil" as motto! ;-)

I get it. So basically, take everything said about Microsoft's evil monopolistic ways and pin it on Google.
I actually agree with you. Google is as evil as MS, they're just much less annoying because they don't break people's PCs or stuff them full of craplets.

- So, it's fine when Microsoft want to take over, but when it's Google, it's suddenly a problem?
I wonder if any of these "concerned advocacy bodies" have any kind of relationship with MS. -

- Because if MS buys yahoo then it can be called as "expansion" or "diversification", instead if google buys Yahoo then it's called "monopoly".

Really? I thought MS were looking at buying it to improve their Live services, including Live Search.
Six of one, half a dozen of the other, at least the way I see it.
"We all suffer in such mega mergers," Gary Flowers of the Black Leadership Forum told BBC News.
The justice department is examining a trial the companies did in April. It has been widely reported that it is looking into the anti-trust implications of last month's two-week test. However, the department says it has no comment on the coalition's demands because there is no definitive agreement between Yahoo and Google at the moment. But reports say that the two companies are presently hammering out the intricacies of a future potential advertising and search agreement, and are sharing their plans with antitrust regulators.
