Search engine Google Inc. lost a bid Tuesday to dismiss a lawsuit over claims it overcharged for advertisements that accompany Web search results.The lawsuit was filed by CLRB Hanson Industries. Google sells the ads in auctions in which companies bid the amount they're willing to pay when users click on ads.

both those are registration pages!
Perhaps a mod could remove it?
I have no desire to help sites whose work appears in Google - but is not available to human beings ;)

Does that happen?
- using opera it goes to a registration page!
and with firefox it doesn't - maybe whoever develops that site needs to look at that :)

>>charges too much for text-based advertisements that appear alongside Internet search results.
this is said all too often when we all know that they appear on top of the results too! journalists consistently get this wrong!
> using opera it goes to a registration page! and with firefox it doesn't
Is it a subtle favourtism, since IE also ends up at a registration page?
