Google accused of Monopoly is being investigated

The Federal Trade Commission of the United States has begun a serious investigation against Google (Monopoly), since there is speculation that the company is using and abusing his power and fame in regard to market Internet searches , leaving no room for other (well, this is something we already knew).

It is intended to evaluate and demonstrate, if for the offense is the alleged manipulation exerted by Google to promote its search engine search results where they appear for example Gmail or YouTube, or Google services and other companies . (Source of reference: the world ).

This is argued, is an attempt to establish an order of competitiveness and a healthy competition between companies that focus on Web environment.

I think it's fair that Google favors the positioning of certain searches to promote both Gmail and YouTube. That's because without sounding like a Google fan (I'm not), I have to say that both Gmail and YouTube, are superior in many respects to other services that are the responsibility of Google.

Another aspect that will focus on research, will be the advertising that appears related to the searches performed by users, this to determine whether this is also handled by Google.

I particularly agree on free competition in free markets and the opportunity may be granted to others to participate. But when a company offers good service and to protect this freedom (albeit inconsistently) apply sanctions as a result contain an offer of lower quality sites, I think something is wrong with the system.

The charismatic platform game became a reference for a generation

This charismatic platform game became a benchmark for a whole generation with its now-paltry 4 MB cartridge Mega Drive. This 'Sonic' is on all consoles and it is certainly generous, giving away as a birthday the first 'demo' the expected 'Sonic Generations' limited time. There was a time where the gamer was Sega or Nintendo , Sonic or Mario. The years have passed and the blue hedgehog is no match for the plumber but an ally with whom he shared even role in some games like 'Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. " More than two decades, Sega was looking for a change image, creating a new icon for the new generations and jump on the bandwagon of successful horizontal development platforms that dominated Nintendo with Mario, formerly known as 'jumpman' the enemy 'Donkey Kong'.

Sonic was created by Naoto Oshima artist, designer Hirokazu Yasuhara and programmer Yuji Naka. Initially, the hedgehog was named Mr. Needlemouse but Sega wanted a more appropriate name. The color of the hedgehog was chosen, of course, in honor of the company that would represent. Much more surprising is that his style and image were taken from another icon of the day: Michael Jackson. Gloves and shoes Sonic were to honor the King of Pop Sonic is very fast, being able to run faster than sound and that quality is what has always characterized their games and the many products that has provided image. In addition to interactive adventures, Sonic is also star of comics, toys and clothes, and has his own cartoon series.

Of all the consoles Sega After the success of their debut 'Sonic The Hedghog 2' was released a year later with a new character: the multiple tail fox Tails, now a classic in the series. The good host said third party "by technological limitations of the era," according to Sega, had to be divided into 2 different games: 'Sonic The Hedgehog 3' and 'Sonic & Knuckles, who accumulated more than 13.8 million copies sold for the console Mega Drive. 20 years later and over 65 published titles, Sonic is still running to the peels. However, there have been changes especially in the second decade. During his career there are two turning points of note: the first platform adventure as polygonal Sonic stopped being a character in a unique brand of consoles to become multiplatform. Sega's mascot jumped into the third dimension with all of the law (before he had made ​​inroads as Sonic R ') in 1998 with the release of' Sonic Adventure 'Dreamcast, a true classic that managed to retain the essence of its first 2D game but with the Z-axis by (a game which, incidentally, can be downloaded in HD on current consoles).

However, this console also became the last of the Japanese company, which ceased to support it in 2001 after poor sales and announced that henceforth devoted to development for all platforms on the market. That's how Sonic began to direct his steps to other consoles. The second decade has been the hardest for Sonic, because in spite of the many titles he has participated and has starred in consoles like PlayStation 2, Xbox 360 and Wii , has failed to regain their former glory. Few delivery platform from Sonic Adventure 2 'has achieved critical acclaim, except perhaps the Sonic 4 and some downloadable games for Nintendo DS. Sega, aware of the discontent of fans with deliveries 3D home console, has decided to recover the best of the classic character and attach it to the best of its contemporary side. This is how is born 'Sonic Generations', in which the pet will be present with its two designs-the classic and the old mix-and horizontal developments and 3D. There are still a few months to launch this latest installment, but Sega has decided to make a gift to fans of the hedgehog. To mark the birthday of Sonic and the desire to placate the Japanese company has just launched the first 'demo' of 'Generations' in downloadable form. It will be available for a period of 20 days on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. To celebrate its anniversary, Sonic has also inspired many works of art that you can visit the exhibition 'Visions of Sonic' until 26 June in Madrid, from 18.30.
