What government has ever known the market from a hole in the ground....
If one was to allow a few omissions for the sake of brevity, some of the major focal points in history went from the Greeks to the Romans, to the British, to the Americans, to who knows? (probably the chinese). Perhaps in computers it would be from IBM, to Microsoft, to Google or Yahoo. There always seems to be a big one some where in time, that has more influence then they deserve. The only question in my opinion, is how much they will screw you in the end.
I don't really have any love for Google, I'd probably like to work there someday but that's the nicest thing I could say. Google however, does do one thing that no other service I've used does.
It actually helps me find what I'm searching for.
