Wow, if Google had hired you, your insight would've saved them many billions every single year! They're such fools for spending all that money when it had absolutely no impact on their position in the market!



Before this ruling: whoever pays the most gets to be the default, so google pays. If they don't someone else does.

After this ruling: since nobody gets to buy being the default whatever users want to be the default will be selected. Judging by market share it will be google for $0.


This seems to contradict the testimony. Assisting to tfa, there was no price Microsoft could pay that would have made Apple use Bing by default.
