A previously undisclosed report by staffers at the Federal Trade Commission reveals new details about how Google Inc. manipulated search results to favor its own services over rivals', even when they weren't most relevant for users.

Thx Mackin.  I tend to find googles answer quite reasonable considering. Much as i hate to admit it.

In the interest of full disclosure I'm a Google hater from way back.

To me the most disturbing bits are the blackmail by Google, when Google got caught copying content from Amazon, Yelp and others and then threatening them with delisting when they complained.  IMHO that is just dirty and criminal.

Google should have been broken up years ago.
