    They're getting more evil, but are they completely beyond redemption?

    If we're going for tortuous Star Wars analogies, I'd go more for Google being C3PO - packed full of technical languages and knowledge but devoid of social abilities and understanding of the greater world, tethered with a hint of panic, kneejerk and incompetence.

    Teetering on the brink of falling to the dark side...

    I'll cast Matt Cutts as Chewbacca -- makes a lot of noise and really quite annoying.

    There was no star wars reference - ive not even seen it. The reference is actually a line from 'time trumpet' - an excellent comedy!

    They are doing very well. They are achieving a good balance by meeting the demands of all the stakeholders.

    This clip pretty much explains how it is today. Darth Vader beeing the Google, and you the commander. This what happens when you try to point out that Google is going to shit...

    I honestly think the idea of Google was romantic ( not in the wo-man sense..) :)

    But now they're getting so big for their boots they're as arrogant as M$!

    Googleolopy, I dont maybe its spelt like Googlolopy. The Monopoly and Google put together like that. IF someone could make a game board something would be funny. Name all the properties all of Googles webmaster tools etc.

    So what would be the equivalent to the Death Star? Adwords? Any MFA website that Google's people find gets a personal call from the Death Star and gets blown up?

    I think the Star Wars comparison would mean that the Digital Point forums have to be the cantina filled with weird and dangerous creatures!

    Since their purchase of doubleclick Microsoft is pushing for antitrust case to be brought against Google. hehe Irony. They've long turned the corner to the darkside, make no mistake.
