Google’s current position as the start page for the Internet kind of scares the crap out of me, in a way that Microsoft’s dominance over the desktop PC never did. I mean, monopoly power over a desktop PC is one thing — but the Internet is the whole of human knowledge, or something rapidly approaching that. Do we really trust one company to be a benevolent monopoly over.. well, everything?

How can a company that celebrate’s the birthday of Paddington Bear be a benevolent monopoly? And who could forgot their "informal corporate Motto". 

Then again even Peru’s finest export can succumb to the evils of corporate greed. Paddington Bear advertising Marmite! Shocking … what’s next Winnie the Pooh advertising for weight watchers?
