This reads like a high school essay. In 1200 words the author manages to raise exactly one poorly backed point.
I've noticed lately the intensifying assault upon Google's citadel. I have some conservative acquaintances who lecture me about Google's evil ways - from how the company has attempted to destabilize the middle east to egregious violations of privacy. Not once have I heard them harp on Microsoft, or DRM, or Telcos. Frankly, I don't know where all this Google hate is coming from, but it must be an orchestrated effort by threatened industries.
We're already seeing a battle front in the mobile market, where no doubt spurious patents will be trumped up against Google. Anyone else care to chime in on developing fronts?
