Consumer Watchdog Calls on FTC to Break Up Google
Oh and Apple isn't?
So they are saying that Google needs to be broken up but not other mega corps like Apple that has 3 times the revenue of Google? On that premise they should just break up Microsoft too for having an all-encompassing ecosystem of apps, services, OS, and hardware products as well.

So when Microsoft starts producing there own phone will the world end because you will be able to have a Microsoft powered phone, tablet, netbook, notebook, desktop, game system, and who knows what other stuff will be available in the next year. Im a huge windows/microsoft guy so I say stick it to google but this is in no way a legitimate"sticking"
