I think Emrecan and other people (myself included) are concerned that we're just going to be told to "deal with it" until the point when it will be impossible to do anything to Google should they go off the deep end or abuse the knowledge and information they gather. In a sense, complaining about Google and raising concerns about them IS our way of trying to "deal with it". Unless Google suddenly gains a serious competitor or the government steps in, we'll have a serious problem on our hands if we don't already. Owen, you’re view seems a bit short sighted to me.

However Google's business *is* the business of information and their growth just means that they become the repository for more and more data. Deal with it!

Along with Google Analytics, this acquisiton means a lot even with just from the perspective of information sourcing. Having information is the power.
