Guess this bring to the forefront that every company that becomes to big can be in a position to abuse it's power.

I can understand this, but are they investigating "all" companies just as fairly? I can think of a few that are doing pretty much the same, and are not getting investigated...JMT

Deerfield Beach, FL | Msft just bought an Ad company
Will the ftc look into Msft purchase of a DoubleClick rival?
I think Msft paid around $6 bill for that unknown company (Quantive). |

| Doubleclick are cheapskates...
And well to make this small, I can sure say doubleclick also partners itself with third party sites like questionmarket.com, who may have some reasons to invade people's privicy for surveys,
And that includes force feeding ads that repeat and not cycle or have permission to cycle the ads, it just flat out annoys the heck out of you,
And besides this ad company better not go for sites like Zango, or I will be veru upset on it. |

Also, if Google is as you say it is, then why is my stock portfolio telling me something different.
I will bet you use Google too
