| The deal between Google and Yahoo to display Google ads on Yahoo's search
| results is in the process of receiving antitrust scrutiny from the Justice

| disadvantage in competition with Google.

Coming from the company that spies on you at O/S-level (just need to switch the
computer on to be spied on) and abuses its monopoly. Self-serving hypocrites.

Microsoft patents the mother of all adware systems
,----[ Quote ]
| The adware framework would leave almost no data untouched in its quest to
| sell you stuff. It would inspect "user document files, user e-mail files,
| user music files, downloaded podcasts, computer settings, computer status
| messages (e.g., a low memory status or low printer ink)," and more. How could
| we have been so blind as to not see the marketing value in computer status
| messages?

New software can identify you from your online habits
,----[ Quote ]
| That is the spectre raised by new research conducted by Microsoft.
| The computing giant is developing software that could accurately
| guess your name, age, gender and potentially even your location,
| by analysing telltale patterns in your web browsing history. But
| experts say the idea is a clear threat to privacy - and may be
| illegal in some places.
