These are my thoughts on product, tech and design.

The DOJ is about to drop the biggest antitrust bomb since Microsoft's Internet Explorer case.

In the late '90s, bundling IE with Windows licenses played a big role in getting Microsoft labeled a monopoly and for good reason. IE's complete stranglehold peaked at ~95% market share (150M users). Today Chrome's "mere" 65% translates to 3+ billion users and gives Google far more control over the web than IE's team could dream of.

The DOJ's ideal solution? Make Google do what Microsoft probably should have done: spin off or sell off their browser.

But my question is: who on Earth could even buy it?
