Ok, so I love the search engine. I greatly prefer it over anything else. I am a loyal g**gle servant.
Then came Gm*il. Then Gm*ps. G**gle satellit images. G**gle calendar. G**gle live spreadsheets. G**gle Earth. G**gle Desktop. Fr**gle. G**gle Video. You can view G**gle on your cell phone or blackberry. That's maybe half of it, with much much more on the way.

So what's going on? You don't think that they're grabbing for money, do you?
I'm not scared yet, but the second they come out with their own operating system, I run for the hills.


*such words have been censored so they don't appear on G**gle searches.

Yeah, I have noticed their attempt at doing EVERYTHING and ANYTHING possible. It's kinda scary...I hope they don't go all money grubbing M$ on us...or maybe they already did.

yet they do everything ever invented so far, they give us everything to make internet life simpler.
just yesterday i was playing around with the maplestory char simulator yet the whole site was in japanese. G**gle(go the censor!) has great systems alowing u to type in the webpage and it will show u the page completly in english. or u could just type in paragraph by paragraph. u cant say that aint handy.

yes globalisation is very anoying but with G**gle most of there stuff is free.
its just a business' success

Hm... I suppose what I'm worried will happen is that they will go the way of music when it becomes mainstream. It becomes synthetic pop, made to pander to the largest amount of people. Values are swept aside and the good is sacrificed in favour of "cool".

G**gle already was cool, but now they are grasping for marketshare. I hope those two things aren't mutually exclusive as in every other case in the world (Well, ok, I'm sure there are exceptions).
