I can appreciate they might actually have a 'desire' to provide a good and useful experience or whatever for folks using their search engine, but every time I look I see them slowly tightening the line on what the commercial world (affiliates, publishers, sellers etc) is allowed to do. My personal thought is that they have it in mind to one day be the only supplier in the Google world. Can you imagine an ego size that believes it can become the main search engine of choice and also own the entire shopping and supply chain. Like playing chess, watch the guy in front of you. They point to an interesting strategy. More power to the competition. More regulation from our governments (sadly required here).
