The U.S. Department of Justice's 10-week antitrust trial against Google is underway, and it has the potential to spell big trouble for the Mountain View tech giant. The Justice Department, along with several individual states, claim that Google was able to reach its status as the dominant company in search through anti-competitive means. Now, the company has reached monopoly status and everything needs to be investigated.

Just my assumption, not a fact: I think even if consumers were prompted to choose a search engine and Google was on the bottom of the list, the majority would pick Google. Obviously that too is a sign of Google's dominance.

And while many people seem to get more and more frustrated with the Google search engine, the competition is either not better, Bing or uses Google/Bing in the back.
