from The Washington Post,
8/6/24:

Google said it plans to appeal Monday’s ruling and is “focused on making products that people find helpful and easy to use.” A spokesman for Google declined to discuss speculation about what happens next.

1. Imagine a Google-quality search engine but without ads — or one tailored to children, news junkies or Lego fans.

2. Would Apple create a search engine?

3. Could prices go down for the products that advertise next to your searches (which is most products)?

4. The company could break up into Baby Googles.

5. What if Google weren’t allowed to know so much about you?

6. You might be able to download almost anything from Google’s Android app store.
