"I just dont think Google are very good at choosing names for their services. "

these jerks (sorry but they are acting like it) have no respect for anyone else, that's all. Just like MSFT. They pick a name and go with it. Too bad if it's yours. They'll drive you into bankruptcy trying to defend your name.
Did you know that someone owned "Internet Explorer" too? [news.com.com...] . At least MSFT paid for it. Google can easily offer him $50-$100K in stock for the name, or simply leave him alone.
