I can see the potential here for a sci-fi story... Google's super computers give rise to artificial intelligences which then try to take over the world...
Except that it turns out there are no AI's, and the reality is that a secret cabal of sinister, power hungry neo-socialists are behind the manipulation of the information in order to gain power. The immense power of the Googleplex being used to crack sophisticated encryption, and to data mine the personal computers of politicians, governments, and private individuals.

I like it! That story has the potential to go somewhere.

I read a (very) short story along those lines: Mankind builds a Deep Thought-type supercomputer to answer all the great questions. Here is a complete transcript of the first and only user session:
Q: IS THERE A GOD?
A: THERE IS NOW.

It's already been written and made into a movie. "COLOSSUS" by D.F. Jones, the movie was called "THE FORBIN PROJECT".

Well first Google's super computers will not want to alienate humans, it will attack Yahoo first and then Microsoft - that is, if the latter two don't sign a mutual defense treaty first.

Sort of like, "The Terminator" meets "Sneakers".
