Its interesting to me, how when a company more fully enters the American corporate arena, silly stuff like this starts to surface.
Google increases in popularity and notoriety, and all of a sudden we have weiners like this suing them for their name, when the term "Googol" isnt even trademarked, nor is it the same as "Google".
Google increases in popularity and notoriety, and we have Microsoft entering the fray to try and beat them out of the market, by manipulating their OS monopoly.
Its interesting how Western civilization has evolved into the "sue everyone and reap the benefits" mindset. A thousand years ago, cavemen would have ran away from a falling boulder; today, the same person would run into it headfirst screaming "CHA-CHING!!".
Little stories like these, are an interesting insight into how corporate America works. Keep an eye on Googles continuing ascent in the business world, and see how many more of these ridiculous lawsuits crop up.
