Really makes me wonder what the European tech scene is like. I might be living in my North American tech bubble but I rarely hear about large tech conglomerates coming out of the EU nor any "revolutionary" products. Is there just no investment? What is the US doing that Europe isn't?

Probably because of antitrust laws that are actually enforced

How is this good if the antitrust laws are stifling innovation. The logical leap is obviously far, but the comment seems to lead a reader to think that antitrust laws is leading to less innovation in Europe..
