What was it that made Jobs so irate — and why could it make a few in-the-know investors some major profits over the coming months and years?

    It is easy to make that distinction - if another company is doing "search" business, they have exposure from Google as a competitor.

    Yelp is an information aggregator, so is Google. When user "searches" for a product or place, they want to see best information whether it is Google or Yelp or Nexttag.

    I will object if Google ever displays Motorola phone, when I search for "Smartphone". That is not the case here.
