WHAT GOES: "Ow, HEE HEE HEE?"

What goes "Ow, Hee Hee Hee?"

Answer: GOOGLE, out of court with a slap on the wrist and on its way to the bank with millions of dollars.

It was just another laugh for GOOGLE, when, after a lot of bureaucratic mumbling, they skated on charges of being an evil monopoly.

This is like the school principal bringing in the school bully who has been stealing all the kids' lunch money and lunches.

"You, 200 pound monster, have been pocketing a small fortune every day, and growing bigger by eating all the other childrens' lunches? What say you?"

"I guess people are jealous that I'm big and strong. Anyone wants to hold onto their money or the lunch they brought from home can do it. Just find the right paradigm."

"Sounds logical to me. You should be lauded for becoming so big and strong! I hear that you also feed pigeons with scraps of bread you don't feel like eating."

"Tell you what. I'll give some of those scraps of bread back to the kids. How's that?"

"SOLD! You, GOOGLE, are a fine symbol of compassion. Not to mention being a breathtaking genius at taking whatever you want. I respect that! All respect to GOOGLE! Heil GOOGLE!

PS, the article continues to note that: "...competitors (are) still required to pay Google for inclusion in some of Google's results." And here's some razzle dazzle: "In instances where Google does not charge for inclusion in its specialised search service, rivals will not be charged to participate in the rival links. The three displayed rivals will be chosen from a pool of eligible specialised search competitors using Google's normal web search algorithm...(and) a "dedicated auction mechanism". The settlement deal....will be legally binding...(and) will stop short of accusing Google of any wrongdoing...Google is now highly likely to avoid sanctions that could have included a fine...An independent monitoring trustee will be brought in by the Commission to police Google to make sure that it doesn't waver from its commitments with the EC..."

Ow, HEE HEE HEE. GOOGLE here, is like Justin Bieber with a house stinking of marijuana. Isn't something illegal? Oh, go find the actual marijuana after a big stall and flushing it down the toilet. Go ahead, "trustee," go ask for GOOGLE to show you the books they cooked, and take you on a tilt-a-whirl through their maze...either that, or let them bribe you outright. GOOGLE cooperates, like they do with DMCA takedown requests (which is to wait weeks before taking action, put your name and address on their "Chilling Effects" site, and let the offending blogger do it again the next day and simply smile and say "Oh, we comply, just fill out the forms again...and again...and again..."
