    Which underlying search engine is being used when I ask Siri a question like "What is the population of the US?" I solve roughly 50% of my questions by asking Siri.
    Last I knew, it's Bing

    Okay, I guess that means Google doesn't have an exclusive contract with Apple's OS's and software for searches. I never knew that.

    We know two things: One: ruling is going to be appealed so it will be years before anything happens if at all. Two: people are happy with Google search and expect it. The only people who care are the are the outliers And windows users stuck with Bing as a default. 

    Default does not make it unchangeable either.
    Anyone who doesn't know how to change their search engine probably doesn't care about any of this.
    Not a Google fan by any means, but this is a complete waste of time and resources by the DOJ. Just like with the Apple case.
