#1 Another "fuck you USA" from our valued ally, Europe. We just cannot exit there fast enough.

If Google were one of theirs it certainly wouldn't be getting attacked. Of course Europeans could never give birth to a raging success like Google. I think resentment is part of the constant harassment of American companies in Europe.

#2 It's the same Google who fired a guy for saying that men make better programmers then womyn? The same Google who helps Chinese authorities to identify dissidents? Red on Red baby!

#3 Yes. While this is outrageous, it is hard to work up a lot of sympathy for Google.

#4 The same logic can be used against Apple, Microsoft & package based Linux distributions.

Perhaps other industries too like auto companies with captive parts lines.

#5 I'm waiting for some enterprising start up to put Linux on cell phones and tablets. Linux beats the crap out of iOS and Android. If you get Linux you have a real computer, not a toy.

#6 Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
This is on Google for ignoring/forgetting that the EU popped Microsoft for over $700M in 2013 for similar shenanigans.
