I fail to see why free to access content publishers have any great problem with Google.
Google is 9/10 the number one driver of audience to their properties. Traffic = money.
This sounds like an intersting idea in principal. I do think that we need to kickstart the whole human exploration effort. Scientific advancement in this area seems to be slipping.
Personally i stick to a couple of sources. For the consumer side of tech i use/. and El Reg. The Reg can be pretty funny at times too so its a good read.
For the higher-end and more insightful tech industry news i use CBRonline.com and Business2. Both of these sites run interviews, etc with the leading lights at Sun, Novell, Oracle, MS, Adobe, etc, etc... Dont expect much humour though;-)
Personally i hope the EU slap crippling fines and place severe restrictions on the Redmond based outfit and either Google, Red Hat, or Yahoo release an feasible alternative to the standard desktop OS. Google have the potential with the desktop bar, Yahoo similar (although undeclared) and Red Hat... well i'd just like to see it.
Without sounding too melodramatic i want governments to wake up and realise that MSFT is stopping the development of both the Internet and personal computing. It releases software that is at best deeply flawed, acquires software and holds on to it, breaks it, or simply removes it from the marketplace. The situation within the tech industry is nearly as bad as that in the oil industry.

...but Yahoo doesnt have any of the web infrastucture MS produces. They certainly dont use MS Servers.
