Just to be clear, I do not think that google is evil.  Of course I think 
it is better when we think really really hard about how to create free 
(in the sense of GNU) alternatives to currently proprietary solutions, 
but I don't think we should be paranoid about google or any other 
company... at least not to the point that it hinders our work. :)
