Will the DOJ Investigate Palm?

AOL and Palm?!? Monopolies??? GMAFB!!! Who in their right mind uses AOL anyway? How does this moron pick his targets? He must just open the Wall Street Journal and scan the list of successful companies. This schmoe need a friggin' hobby.

Ha! If Palm of all people gets hit I'll know all that's left in Washington are rats grabbing the last crumbs of cheese on a sinking ship.

Anti-trust against Palm in 2000/01 is akin to targeting Netscape in 1996. Or Apple in 1991.

That story sounds like Microsoft trying to put a negative spin on our DOJ's antitrust powers. "Look out! It'll be a domino effect of prosecutions!"

No, I didn't buy that about Vietnam, either.

What we are sseing is some mean spirited goverment hack lawyers, who apparentl;y look at their oeers in real companies, earning real money and decide, well, if I can't be in that situation its wrong and I'm going to abuse power and twist laws to bring these companies to their knees.
If you have a product and are sucessful in capturing market share , the lesson is you'd better not be too successful, because the DOJ has declared war on the free enterprise system in America

The sad thing is that I am almost inclined to believe this. Not that I think that it will happen, but that our Government has the power and will to over regulate, mismanage, and try to socialize, commerce.

..and we keep electing these people, oh well, who is John Galt?

If the Government was so passionate about getting rid of monopolies, why aren't they doing anything about breaking down the United States Postal (so-called) Service. Oh, that's right, it's a government agency, too!
