Default Google in the hot seat....again

My apologies if this was already posted somewhere. I checked but didn't see.

And I know that this story is on Yahoo, but it's still some good information coming back and I didn't detect in slandering or anything. I would like to see a broadcast of the hearing personally.

Google head disputes that company thwarts rivals - Yahoo! News

Also, the picture of Eric Schmidt is pretty funny when you first open it up. Like the meaning of life was just revealed to him or something.

The biggest concern about Google is whether the company has been manipulating its results to prominently display its own services instead of rival websites.
I have noticed this in the form of Google Adwords at the top of the results.

Most people skip the paid ads as they are usually quite 'salesy' (ie; why would a page that isn't making its advertising money back in sales continue paying Google?)

But recently I have noticed Google making their colored background of these ads ALMOST TRANSPARENT!

So for the lazy-eyed surfer, they may not know that they are actually clicking an Ad, rather than a natural listing.

Deceptive...?

I think google should always be in the hot seat.

Google is not a website, I think today it is a universe.
