"We aren't a monopoly because we don't just control web search, we also control all this other tech..."

-a matter of legal and economic interpretation
If there's a possible interpretation that a company is a monopoly, they're a monopoly.
I agree on the merits, but the contrarian in me has to point out that any company is a monopoly through some convoluted interpretation. For example: Logitech has a monopoly on mice and keyboards that work with their proprietary software.
Exactly, it's why I don't buy Logitech anymore!

Biologics: Glub, glub. Yes.
Damn, busted
