Google's CEO is *still* funding Obama, even after the election. What does he expect in return?
It's no secret that Google wants to basically own the Internet from Youtube to you name it. They want to be to the Internet what Microsoft was to desktops.
What would Obama get in return for having Congress pass Internet regulations that only favor Google? Google will collect data via searches and censor information not privy to the Government view.
Can you say "Communism", no different than China and Google has already censored information relative to Obama searches. It is fact. Google is guilty of censorship in favor of their Candidate etc.
Do not use Google.

dogpile still searches google...
Is there a better alternative? I remember switching once before, and I think the new service was even worse.
Google has been pretty good about not abusing its potential as spyware, unlike many earlier search services.
I agree, they are on the left, but is any other search service better?
“They want to be to the Internet what Microsoft was to desktops. “
Haven’t you heard, they aren’t limiting themselves to the internet. They are working on hosted applications to compete with MS office and other popular applications.
They have come out with a cell phone.
They want to store your medical records.
They give you search results based on what your government wants you to see.
Yes, but dogpile gets the credit for the search.
Cuil is supposed to be good
That is like saying “don’t use the Internet.”
There may be more effective strategies for undermining Google’s revenue than simply “don’t use.”
But it is good that you point out the bias that has started to be very prevalent and unhidable (not a word, I know) in the Google universe.
Google is garbage and so is their stupid browser, its total garbage. A few months ago I downloaded it, looked at it, laughed, then uninstalled it. I hope google goes down the drain
Agreed on both points.
The chances however, are slim.
I love google services sorry.
However that said I don’t send or pay for any google services and I got enough ad-block software so I never see google ads either.
You can have my gmail/calendar when you pry it from my cold dead computer!
Just as the broadcast airwaves belong to “the people” so will the narrowcast entities be forced into the “public domain.”
Google operators will get their justs. Too bad that they have to screw all of us first.
Unfortunately, Goggle is the best, most comprehensive, and the fastest to get new material of all the search engines.
Cuil is several years let behind Google in comprehensiveness.
I use clusty.com because I heard they are better with your privacy....but I don’t know their politics. I am extremely happy with Clusty and AVOID using Google wherever and whenever possible.
Is there any other search engine? Before Google came out, I used to use Excite and some others I’ve already forgotten.
Google gets income every time you do a search on it? Who knew?!
Am I ignorant, or is it very hard to get a true Boolean search out of Google? That’s what I miss about the old days with Excite and so on.
