EU fines Google over 2 billion euros

[MJJersey]

The EU is trying to get a piece of Google's pie by fining it over 2 billion euros for "anti-trust" violations. They say the search engine favored its own shopping sites (why wouldn't it?). The good news is that with the rapid decline of the euro by the time Google finishes appleals and is finally forced to pay, it will be like paying 2 billion pesos.

Not so sure about the 'rapid decline of the Euro'..but 2 billion is a lot of anything...and this does validate what many of us have known for a long time..Google cheats. Google had said that it didn't favor it's own sites and that it's even-handed and correct in its search engine rankings--they were proven to be liars.
