Huh?
"the new system pits smaller companies against bigger ones, ultimately favoring deep-pocketed advertisers that can afford to outbid rivals for coveted keywords"

Welcome to Capitalism, boys! And we're supposed to care? As a Google user, I'm at the lower end of the feeding chain, having to put up with results that are peppered with results that are only there because of the money paid to place them, rather than their relevancy to my search. I don't like ads, but I've been "outbid" by the ad placers, who pay money to have the ads viewed, as opposed to me, who pays no money to use the service.

So it's ok to use money against me, but it's not ok to have someone else use money against you?

Wah, wah, wah.
