“Libral Press” my big-fat ass:

Google’s methods for recommending Web sites are being reviewed by the Texas state attorney general in an investigation spurred by complaints that the company has abused its power as the Internet’s dominant search engine.

The antitrust inquiry, disclosed by Google late Friday, is the latest sign of the intensifying scrutiny facing the company as its enters its adolescence. Since its inception in a Silicon Valley garage 12 years ago, Google has gone from a quirky startup to one of the world’s most influential businesses, with annual revenue approaching $30 billion.

A spokesman for Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott confirmed the investigation. He declined to comment further.

The review appears to be focused on whether Google is manipulating its search results to stifle competition.

The pecking order of those results can make or break Web sites. Google’s search engine processes about two-thirds of the search requests in the United States and handles even higher volume in some parts of the world.

That dominance means a Web site ranking high on the first page of Google’s results will probably attract more traffic and generate more revenue, either from ads or merchandise sales.

But being buried in the back pages of the results, or even at the bottom of the first page, can be financially devastating and, in extreme cases, has been blamed for ruining some Internet companies.

I knew you were curious.  Or at least you didn’t care.

Read on:

Google says its closely guarded search formula strives to recommend Web sites most likely to satisfy the needs of each user’s request. If it didn’t keep users happy, Google argues, people would become disgruntled and switch to search engines offered by Yahoo, Microsoft and IAC/InterActiveCorp’s Ask.com.

Regulators and lawmakers in the United States and Europe have also been looking into Google’s privacy practices and its acquisitions as the company tries to fortify its power.

What a disappointing joke.

Capitalism is a failure because those in control fail to present opposite-viewpoints.  If the “free market” was the true answer, capitalism would be thrilled to rush to the opportunity to discuss itself.  Google Inc is an example of capitalism’s failed “free-market” failure.

They failed at discipline.

They failed at a “free market” system.

They failed!

Like you missed the whole “crucifix” design and expected that only Jesus-Freaks had a “right” to the design.

Putting the “Dooper” in “Squirrelisms”.
