Typical how computer geeks believe they are the center of the world. There are some of us who use computer keyboards for reasons other than programming and posting things to blogs and bulletin boards. Some people use computer keyboards for actual writing of the English language and, in the case of acronyms, could really use that caps-lock key.
The article makes no sense. "Trust" in what way? It hints that they're talking about "trust" in the context of your private information, and not as a news source, but doesn't go out and say it. Also, Google is not a source of original information. It compiles news and repackages it from... well, from traditional news sources.

I have lost all respect for NPR. Biased for the "good guys" is still biased. And I cannot stand to listen to the reporters' voices anymore. Plus, I'm a sci/tech journalist who once provided some information to an NPR reporter who then went and lifted my information, word for word, and passed it off as her own. Ethics, schmethics...
Hi, I'm a reporter and editor who has specialized in nanotechnology for the past four years or so. For what it's worth, I wrote a response to I, Nanobot back in March. Here's the link:
"OK, Alan Goldstein, I will not call you Ishmael. But somewhere along your road to Melville, you took a detour into speculative fiction, because that is clearly the genre of your Salon article, I, Nanobot." More here
Yeah, "Prey" might scare the beejeebees out of people, but maybe get a few interested in real nanotechnology. For that, they can take a look at Small Times, which has covered the environmental issue extensively both in this article and in its upcoming dead-tree-edition cover story.
You want open source, check out GLOOLABS. Its HomePod application for iTunes and other MP3 files is just the beginning. GLOO is challenging developers to come up with their own digital convergence applications.
You can do this even easier with a HomePort from MacSense. Not only that, but you can develop your own applications using the open-source GLOO technology inside.

It's another step toward The Mesh, covered very well in a Small Times cover package last year.
Sorry for the typo. Here's GLOOLABS!

MacSense and GLOOLABS already beat HP to the punch. Check out this story about the Homepod.
