Yeah, and people call a nose tissue a Kleenex or a vacuum a Hoover but not all are of those brand. It will take innovation in technology, rather than government intervention, to fix Google's monopoly over search. The advertising model is bound to wear itself out, just as the galaxy itself is bound to exhaust eventually.

I think the implication is that most people WANT to use Google, and don't see a reason to use something else.
