Antitrust Cases involving Google, Apple and other Giants: I'm getting confused here....

So, following the news these days (and I don't mean the stock markets crashing all over the place), one can get a bit confused about which internet/media/electronics giant is suing which and who is being investigated. So lets recap:
  • 10 complaints (including one by MICROSOFT) have been made against GOOGLE to the European Commission for discriminating against competitors
  • APPLE is suing other electronics manufacturers, for example SAMSUNG for copying their design and patent infringements
  • Consumer firm is suing APPLE and 5 Publishers for price-fixing on the market for e-books
  • The Federal Trade Commission (the American Competition authority) is investigating GOOGLE for discriminating against competitors, stealing their content and blocking electronics manufacturers from using other OS than Android
  • ...

    Anyone have anything to add?
