Expect specialist “open” hardware capable of installing any software/OS to become increasingly expensive, while increasingly locked-down, mass-produced consumer hardware remains at current price. You only need to look at TVs for an example of this - try finding a recent non-smart TV at a reasonable price as the cheap models are all subsidised by the revenue from pushing ads into your face.

I would hope that any competent person can see that this can not end well.

Google must know that they are not a monopoly in search.

Number of search queries is such a bad metric for quality of your product. If your search is trash then the user is going to need more queries to get a satisfactory answer. That is, until they stop using your service of course.

I used to love the Eyewitness Guides books when I was a kid. Had no idea that it existed as a show as well.

TV tech is nudging ever further into Torment Nexus territory.
