All Googled out

The majority of top decision-makers at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission believe that an antitrust case should be brought against Google Inc , meaning the search giant could soon be headed into tough negotiations, three people familiar with the matter said. Four of the FTC commissioners have become convinced after more than a year of investigation that Google illegally used its dominance of the search market to hurt its rivals, while one commissioner is skeptical. But let's not worry about that just yet, because a gunshot was fired into President Barack Obama's downtown Denver re-election headquarters yesterday while campaign workers were inside. Fortunately, no one was struck. Unfortunately, this means that almost three months after the Batman shootings, another gunman is stirring up trouble in Denver. And speaking of trouble, Canada was in uproar yesterday over a 15-year-old schoolgirl who was found dead, an apparent suicide, five weeks after she uploaded a video to YouTube describing years of bullying that drove her to drugs and alcohol. Coroner Barb McLintock said Thursday night that preliminary indications suggest the British Columbia girl, Amanda Todd, killed herself. Her school district's spokeswoman, Cheryl Quinton, confirmed the girl in the video was her.
