Google has no real competition yet, which means they can do what they like. I like Google, but they've started to censor certain search results, which I don't agree with at all. Without a legitimate competitor for me to turn to, though, Google doesn't care. @David Mackey Technology overlap is generally a good reason to merge, especially when you are trying to take down a titan like Google in search. You eliminate redundant expenses and grow your user base by a lot. @PohEe It's 38 billion market cap now, but if you want to go out and buy the company, you have to pay more. Basic supply and demand. 50 billion is a good starting point, and that's 1/3 of Google's market cap... that's a huge decision and not without risk. eBusiness made a good point… Google has no real competition yet, which means they can do what they like.
