2007: Microsoft is dead because no one is afraid of them.
2015: Is anyone afraid of Google?

Not sure if your question is sarcasm or not. Realistically, any startup can be afraid of Google, Facebook, Apple etc. If they decide to compete in your market and you can't adapt fast enough, you'll get crushed.
No one is afraid of Microsoft or Google the way some businesses are afraid of Amazon.

If you aren't afraid of Google you aren't paying attention. They're the collection arm of the NSA.

Well, I don't know, just about anyone who stands to lose from self driving cars going mainstream.
Downvoters: obviously, self driving cars are a hugely positive development overall. But some players in the economy will lose.
