Random un-phone related thought

  This thought occurred to me last night.  Google's CEO is currently in Washington DC defending the company against a FTC investigation.   If I understand correctly, Google is in trouble for promoting their own products in their own search engine.

In other words.  Google creates a search engine, then uses it to promote their products.

In the above sentence, replace "Google" with "Apple" and "search engine" with "iOS"

It is my un-educated, completely oblivious opinion that Apple has done more to promote their own products within iOS than Google ever does within their search engine.  Also, the products Google is promoting within their search engine are often FREE!

If I have something incorrect here, or if you have an opinion leave it in the comments.

That is all.

UPDATE:  It just occurred to me that Google has 67% market share in the search-engine world.   Apple only has 27% of smartphone share, and probably only about 10% of smartphone and feature phone share.

   Will Google get in trouble when android reaches 67% market share?  It will probably happen within the next 18 months.  Android phones come pre-installed with many google apps....
