The BigLig Thinks

Firstly, Google Maps effortlessly finds me the location of my appointment for this afternoon.
And now they have a new portal site at www.google.com/ig that is clean and simple enough to replace my usual default home page.
Not to mention the dozen Google searches I do each day. Oh, and they own this site too.
I see now why a part of the Slashdot crowd are beginning to think that Google is so useful they must be malevolent. Not that I mean to imply that Linux teaches us that good things are less useful than evil things, oh no.
