5 Reasons You Should Be Scared of Google
« on: May 18, 2010, 19:00 »
You'd be hard-pressed to find a company more beloved than Google. And why not? They make the Internet easier to use, pamper their employees and foot the bill for YouTube even though it loses money like it's got a gambling problem that's made of cocaine. Unfortunately, much of what is awesome about Google also makes them increasingly terrifying with each passing day.

I just feel it's getting too big, and too into everything.  Sooner or later, you won't be able to do anything which isn't Googleised.
