I'm with neither, yes Google will get the monopoly but Microsoft essentially did a "Mummy Mummy, Google broke my toy :sigh:".

Microsoft Asks US Government to Prevent Google's Purchase of DoubleClick[^] Just days after Google announced its plans to purchase DoubleClick, the number-one player in the non-search online advertising market, Microsoft representatives publicly asked the US government to intervene. Although no formal complaints have been made to US or international antitrust regulators yet, Microsoft issued a statement noting that the Google-DoubleClick deal will let Google monopolize online advertising. The irony. I'm actually with Microsoft on this one.

The real irony is that the purchase may destroy Google. Man advertisers will likely demand rate reductions using monopoly as the sledge hammer. Other advertisers will closely reexamine the cost effectiveness of their online ads and find that the conversion rate isn't as big as was promised by their "just trust us" marketing folks and ramp down or cancel campaigns.

No, this is called hard-ball business. Microsoft decided that if you live by the sword, you die by the sword. Apple is now learning this in Europe. The fact is that Google is one of the companies that decided to compete through the courts and is now going to discover that their original enthusiasm for this type of crap might have been misplaced.

it means they want to separate the north and south poles of a magnet so that it's no longer a dipole. Succefully doing so would be worth a trip to Stockholm so I can see why people would be interested. :laugh:

That means , it's arrogant and saying "Only I should be the king in monopoly. Nobody ever should try to behave like me".

Ah you are the spelling-polistic there ;P? You could've mentioned this instead of asking "What the hell does that mean". :sigh: You know I'm quite poor in the language :sigh:
