I just don't like the direction Google is going. Their aim, which is plain to see, is to take over as much control of the internet as is absolutely possible. There is just nothing good that can possibly come of that, and they are not stopping at just internet. They are digging their fingers in every facet of media and communications they can.

I mean, competition is a GOOD thing, and I don't see how letting Google reign supreme can be a good thing. A large part of what they do seems to work on the "buy up this nice little company and give everything away for free to crush the competition" sort of gameplan too.

I don't see them doing anything super mad scientist or anything, but allowing them to take a stranglehold over the internet isn't great either. They're smart about how they do things, but I can see them running into trouble some day and being forced to break up the company.

Just for the hell of it, linkdropping one of my favorite Goog paranoia articles...
