AAA, I can totally understand the anti-monopoly type talk and being for the underdog. I myself have a lot of problems with the shadow government/central bankers behind the United States government, the warmongering/propaganda, and profit driven causes foregoing ethics and morals.

However, there are certain situations where a big company like Google has actually improved the lives of people dramatically. I for one would be out of a job if it wasn't for Google, they have indirectly impacted my business entirely. I practically work for them through my clients. So while some people like you wish for Google to go down, your wishes would be influencing millions of lives negatively (people never put this into perspective - nothing against you personally), but often our desires are in direct conflict with greater influences.

Sure, they buy out nearly any relevant rising business in the online world, but they do it to maintain a competitive edge over other growing giants. I've seen shoddier companies in comparison. They treat their employees with first class, they offer great service to their customers, and they have the best algorithmic search engine in the world. They rebuilt their entire infrastructure using green energy, and they house thousands of employees world wide.

What is the problem? Because you suspect that they provide information to the government?

Hey Rampage. I never said I want them to go down and in fact I don't because they do provide some good services, I just don't agree with their practices.

You're right, and I debated whether I should have put your intentions without truly knowing them. I came to an assumption based on your post.

I don't like some of Google's practices, but none of the search engines took searching for information seriously before Google.

And think about that a little. "None of the search engines took search for information seriously". There were search engines, and they didn't care if their search was useful. That kind of travesty just shouldn't occur in modern history. This is why I hate monopolies. Yahoo was a virtual monopoly prior to Google, they sat on their hands.

Google wants to own the internet and in a way they are. I'm using BING now for my search engine, I think it gives better results then GOOGLE. As for the cell phone for me its BLACKBERRY or NOKIA all the way.

You better buy a Blackberry quick.

It is thought they may be going out of business.

Ya I know of the problems they are having. Nokia has a cool new windows phone.
I got two blackberries that are within a year old, a Curve 9300 and Torch 9800. I got the torch for free because the curve has some software problem and my service provider was unable to fix it, so I took it to my local unlocker dudes and 25$ later all was good (turns out it was a branding problem).
