Ditto - These San Fran uber Millionaires who pay through the nose for a house and life-style in CA turn around and condemn the rest of us to a life of socialism - they ought to not be patronized. I know many are against boycotts (very 60s) but it seems to me to be the only way a “little guy” can get a point across. Seems to be working in Dino-media and else where - maybe it will if we all abandon Google.
I want to get it off too... and will follow with a strong letter!
Keep hitting YouTube and putting money in this guy’s pocket, folks.
Here's lots of alternatives to Google offerings:
| Live Search | A high power alternative to Google |
| Search and Give | Uses the Live search engine but you can set up an account so that a charity or school of your choosing gets a few cents every time you search! |
| Clusty Search | This is an alterative that draws from several search engines including Google unfortunately |
| Live Toolbar | Need a toolbar alternative, use this one |
| MSN Video | An alternative to YouTube for hosting your uploaded videos |
| Live Maps | Need driving directions, this will work (Though I'll concede Google has an extra feature that's nice) |
| Virtual Earth | An excellent 3D mapping program |
| Live Mail Live Mail Client |
Plenty of space for all your email and a nice client for it as well! |
| Live Spaces | A place to blog, host photos, store files, etc |
| Photosynth | A very cool way of bringing dimensional perspective to your photographs |

A few years ago I heard that Gore had been given millions in shares of google—that sums it up for me!
what is clusty?
Use www.dogpile.com
it is a meta search engine.
NONE better.
It seems the top self-powered search engines are Google, Yahoo, MSN/Live, and Gigablast.
There are lot of others, of course, some of which were self-powered at one time. But they've pretty much all gone defunct, merged with one of the big players, or simply repackage results from one or more of the big players (so called meta-search). E.g., compare results from Ask with those from Google or results from AltaVista with those from Yahoo.
Try this one: http://www.dogpile.com/

Let me explain something to all these clymers who claim Chairman Milhouse is more technologically savvy than McCain: It was John McCain who led the fight against internet taxation from the start. For a guy who supposedly doesn’t know an email from an emu, that is way technologically savvy.
I agree, Google is the best and much more user friendly.
I really like the Autofill feature on its Toolbar.
Eric Schmidt was always a big Al Gore pal and supporter and in fact hired him as a consultant to Google after Gore left office. It’s unknown how many options Gore received but rumored to be a pile, which has made Gore a wealthy man.
So Schmidt’s support for Obama is no surprise.
BZZZZZT. Wrong!
The anti-trust suit against Microsoft was started under Bush the Elder.
Microsoft is a monopoly and has used it's monopoly power illegaly. These are matters of fact and of legal findings.
