Wary of Internet giant

Google's long tentacles have many running scared:

Silicon Valley: Concerned that Google's outsize ambition is squashing startups and raising salaries in the tech industry.

Madison Avenue: Fears that Google is taking over the advertising business and making established ad agencies irrelevant.

Hollywood: Takes umbrage at widespread piracy on Google's YouTube video service, claiming it violates copyright law.

Privacy advocates: Worry that Google's collection of personal information will create a massive database that can be mined by government.

Yes, and they're reconvening the warren Commission, following eyewitness accounts of Google on the Grassy Knoll. One of them, a Mr. Homer Simpson, also gave an account of Google saying "Aside from that, how did you enjoy the play, Mrs Lincoln?"

Is there one decent journalist left in the world, or do they all just retype the latest whining press release?

I think we should be told ;)
