"At one end lies your spam-kings and domain-squatters, who capitalize on the gullible, desperate, and the habitual misspellers. Somewhere in the middle lie the faux-security companies peddling their wares via popups the very viruses, trojans, and spyware they are purported to fix. And on the other end, we have Google, the darling of of darlings 'legitimate' tech startups, who capitalize on the idiocy of millions who don’t understand that those blue-underlined words on the right of search results are NOT, in fact, search results at all."
