Abstract
With 110 million hits (in 0.16 seconds), Google is a popular news topic in all respects. The big stories of the day are the launch of Google’s new wireless service–described in one report as “game-changing”–and the an update to its mobile search algorithms that will prioritize mobile-friendly websites in presenting results to searches conducted on mobile devices–described by a couple of commentators as “mobilegeddon” and “phonepocolypse” Superlatives and hyperbolic comments seem to accompany stories about Google. With a market capitalization of over $300 billion (sometimes approaching $400 billion), Google is one of the most highly valued companies in the world, ahead of long-time firms such as General Electric, Wal-Mart and Boeing, and battling neck-and-neck with Berkshire-Hathaway and Microsoft. All of this from a company that began in a garage office barely 16 years ago. Growth like that doesn’t come without rubbing a few people the wrong way and Google has run into more than its share of public relations and legal challenges over the years. The latest such legal challenge was next on the list of news topics on my search, charges that Google’s search results and its Android mobile operating system violate the European Union’s antitrust laws.
