This news is amusing considering that whenever I call Google on a local number I get someone in India.
Did you see the news where "do no evil" was busted hacking Safari web browser users to up their ad traffic?

Here's a bit more information on the story. hat tip to martinibuster
Leave it to Google to face anti-trust in multiple countries but still manage to lul investors into thinking all is well. Falling from $600 won't look pretty so expect G to perform a stock split soon to keep it from looking dramatic, on paper at least.
