Who's Afraid of Google?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the in-the-end-there-can-be-only-one dept.

Khuffie writes "Wired has an interesting article about who's afraid of Google: in short, almost everyone! "Even in the early days, its ultimate goal was extravagant: to organize the world's information. High-minded as that sounds, Google's ever-expanding agenda has put it on a collision course with nearly every company in the information technology industry: Amazon.com, Comcast, eBay, Yahoo!, even Microsoft.""

    I know this may frustrate many of the posters here, but I believe that if anyone, Robert "CmdrWaco" Malda and his friends know the damage that pornography and open source addiction can cause to yourself and your friends and family as you drown in what became a "once in awhile" activity to something that happens every day. You may not be able to keep yourself from looking at smut and tinkering with Linux, but you can save others from your hellish fate! A signature against Apple is a signature for America's moral purity!

    It is hard to be afraid of Google when they're sending you checks every month.
    Microsoft and Yahoo never found a way to deal me into their growth the way that Google has.

    And apparently, I'm not the only one who feels this way.

    I'm pretty sure that he was referring to pre-pubescent children.

    But go ahead and twist the arguement. It makes it obvious you have no chance of making your point.
