Google: One Goliath of a Big Brother


So I know that Google’s been running pretty much everything for quite some time, but today I realized just how freaking concerning that’s getting.

I finally downloaded Google Earth for Vaio II and was checking out all the new features.

Features which include MAPS OF THE MOON AND OF MARS. Also, their street view’s getting pretty creepy as well. Here’s a list of acquisitions/partnerships/investing/insanity:

  • YouTube
  • Freaking NASA
  • Sun Microsystems
  • AOL of Time Warner
  • Microsoft
  • Nokia

Insanity. I fear using Chrome and I probably won’t get a Gmail until it’s required by law.

Side note: from looking at Google’s Wikipedia page (one thing Google doesn’t own yet!), I noticed that their headquarters was named Googleplex, which had me laughing hysterically for about 15 minutes (for those unaware, a googol = 10100 and a googolplex = 10googol). I think my mom thought I was on drugs.

What sayest thou? Speak!
