Who knows to what extent it is true, but there have to be some elements of truth mixed in there. And it never hurts to be aware of future possibilities.

That was the perfect stereotype of left-wing fear-mongering bullshit (complete with the BBC accent). I'm mostly a lefty myself, but wow. "so-called page rank"???

I'll admit to not watching past the minute mark. I decided I should go look at google's stock price for a dose of reality.

And the digg-bait-like headline completes the picture.

Oh, you missed the best part of the troll. Go back and watch the whole thing (only 3-1/2 minutes, despite the title) and enjoy the part about Google capturing your genetic data as well....
