Very interesting.
If that news were more public it could hurt google, particularly with the timing of the bing campaign.

Bah. Google is guilty of many things, but this is missing the mark by a wide margin. Unlike Microsoft Windows, there are several widely available and widely used alternatives to Google. People choose Google when there are alternatives like Yahoo and Bing and MSN and Lycos and all that crap still out there that are viable alternatives. Google has more searching becausue they are just better, which is what directly leads to their cornering the market on search-related ad revenue. There are no bad practices here, just massive success in the market through providing a quality product.
If you want to go after them, find some way to go after them for cooperating with China's tyranny. At least that's something bad they actually have done.

While I think the DoJ may be a bit off base, I'm sure as fuck applauding anything that slows Google's quest for global domination.

Agreed. Don't know enough about how their pay for placement is structured to say how far off base the DoJ is, but anything that annoys Google is tops in my book.
