What a crock of shit. Have you heard of MapQuest, Bing Maps, or Yahoo! Maps? How about AltaVista or Yahoo! Search? BabelFish ring a bell? If Google changed the world through all their ad-infested crap, it certainly was late to do so.
Thanks for sharing. I pretty much lost all hope in the big tech companies too. It's starting to become clear from their actions, none of them give a fuck about compromise. It's a battle for control and none of them are even giving a fucking inch for the sake of user experience.
Good. You have the right to your opinion and we have the right to believe it's pure cow crap and downvote you to hell. This very comment might get downvoted to the abyss too, but I'll swallow that shit and carry on.
Google is the new Microsoft. All this "Don't do evil" bullshit is just another illusion to sell more ads. That's all Google has ever been and ever will be. A fucking Ad company. Over 97% of their revenues prove that. If they can't plaster ads on your shit and sell your data, expect a nice big blue, red, yellow and green fuck you.
It's already fucked her life. This fiasco is going to be the top result of any future searches potential employers will see. This is just a pure god damn disgrace to humanity and the DA, the cops, fucking EVERYONE involved should be prosecuted for the bullshit they're putting this poor student through. This is not right.
