The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

cnbc.com - DOJ indicates its considering google breakup following monopoly ruling


* The Department of Justice late Tuesday indicated that it was considering a possible breakup of Google as an antitrust remedy.

* The DOJ said it was “considering behavioral and structural remedies that would prevent Google from using products such as Chrome, Play, and Android to advantage Google search.”

* The judge has yet to decide on the remedies, and Google will likely appeal, drawing out the process potentially for years.



This reminds me of the MSFT scenario. Ruled their "legacy" business (desktop computing) was a monopoly, just as the market was switching to cloud computing. Search is moving to AI and traditional search is likely to be less of a driving force for the market.
