Yahoo! Submits to Google's Market Dominance
Yahoo!'s CFO, Susan Decker, is quoted in Bloomberg News as making a surprising statement: "We don't think it's
reasonable to assume we're going to gain a lot of share from Google. It's not our goal to be No. 1 in Internet search.
We would be very happy to maintain our market share." It's important to understand that Decker was not ceding
to Google in terms of search quality, but only in terms of marketshare. In Europe and North America, Google's share has
risen while Yahoo!'s has dropped in the last year. Most measurements do not include Aisian countries, according to
another quoted source in the article, where Yahoo! is a popular choice for search.

(Page 1)2. So Google refusses to allow access to the Government on who may be using sites for Child Porn, as this would be a violation of FREE SPEACH. However, they will bind over and allow the Communist Goverment of China to restrict free speach so Google can make some Money. What a bunch of ass holes.
