Google's been starting to eat a lot of smaller start-ups' lunches recently. Google Music encroaches on Pandora's turf, and Search by Image can only be bad news for Tin Eye. I'd be curious to see how they respond.
Edit: Actually found Tin Eye's response on HN after the fact [1]. They claim that their business model (licensing to businesses) is sufficiently different from Google's consumer focus. This might be true at the moment, but it's only a matter of time until this ends up in Google Apps or the search appliance.
