What a Google antitrust case might look like

Eric Clemons has a guest post over on TechCrunch today that highlights why he thinks the DoJ in the US has Google in its cross hairs. I don’t want to harp on about this subject. Its gotten plenty of space from me in recent months. Just search for Google Monopoly on this site for a…

Google releases Google Latitude

Those of you that communicate with me often know that I use a service called Fring to communicate when I’m out and about on my cellphone.
