I don't have any real issue with Google because they've done a great job of building a service better than anybody else.  They simply are the best search engine with the easiest to use interface.  They then took that foundation and built an empire of innovative products such as google apps, google maps, android OS, and may more.

I don't like that they sell my data to make money, but I also am well aware that they do it and continue to use their service so I'm OK with that.  If anything me giving them access to my data is how I'm paying for their awesome services.

If I were to have a bone to pick with them, it's in the context of political censorship and agenda based search results.  There have been some examples in the past where people have caught them pushing certain secular progressive search results to people searching for conservative subjects.

I don't get all tinfoil hat over it, because people have manipulated their algorithms for political gain that wasn't googles fault as well.  I think a year or two back there was a big uproar on HuffPo when the second or third result to "murder" was an anti-abortion site.  Google had nothing to do with it, but it was a great example of the power they possess as the traffic cop to the information super.

Yeah, what's up with that pga mike? Way to bump a 7-year old thread and then run. What did you do, use the BT search engine to find a Google thread? Nice

It's interesting that the thread is still topical today.

Hmm, mental note... need to search the BT archives for fun threads from many years ago that are still relevant today.

Would be kind of fun to call out some bad predictions too.   lol

Search for Dallas Cowboys and see how many times that either me or Goggs have said "this is the year".

Google is awesome. Without it we wouldn't have so much information at our fingertips.

That, and trying to shove Google+ down my throat every time I turn around.  Quit trying to trick me into clicking the link.

Now, I've decided that LinkedIn is the creepiest networking thing. I think it monitors who I call on my phone - I called around for Heating and Air conditioning compAnies, those guys then turn up on the suggested connection list.

I've got an android phone and I was talking to my wife about something and she asked me to look it up on my phone.  I typed in "how" and it auto completed the exact question my wife asked.  I can't even remember what the question was, but it was very obscure, so there's no way it would have just guessed it without listening into our conversation.  That one sent me to creepyville.
