FairSearch.org | Fortune: ‘For Google, it pays to be evil during the holidays’: "But Fortune writer Miguel Helft said Google CEO Larry Page “demurred” last year when asked about the change in practice that required retailers to pay to be included in shopping results. “By turning a blind eye to what it once considered evil,” Helft wrote, “Google is poised to be even more profitable this holiday season.”"
