Google's Impact on the Internet
Kierkegaard writes "The Globe & Mail and Fortune Magazine both wrote a piece on Google, arguably one of the most important companies in the world, and its influence and impact on the Internet. In particular, they mention the effects of Google's recent new services, like Blogger and Maps, as well as their take on how Google threatens the Microsoft Corporation. "If Sergey and Larry stick to their corporate mantra -- Don't be evil -- and are able to stem degeneration into the typically corrupt corporate ethos, who knows, they may just succeed in assuming the fair and honourable dominion over the world's information they so naively set out to achieve eight years ago in their garage.""
I think you mean a sacred cow.
A "fatted calf" is fattened up because it's about to be slaughtered and eaten. A "sacred cow" is in no such danger.
It's possible you don't remember how painfully time-consuming were searches using AltaVista and Lycos.
Oh, wait, I can't because I don't have a Fortune subscription. And here's me with 5 mod points but no way to mod down the retard who posted the story.
