Google: Freedom of information- except for their bosses
Thanks to Google Earth and Google Maps, terrorists from around the world can plan attacks. (If you think I’m being melodramatic, just run an MSN LIVE search here for google earth terrorists.)
Google has been sending teams of photographers all around the world to help their street view gimmicks. The MEDIA has been covering when some governments have been uncooperative with Google’s “rights”.
I work with a Google loyalist, his name begins with the letter “I”. He believes in Open Source and freedom of information, and how ideas or even art should be made readily available for free in a shared global economy. That’s Google’s gimmick, too, except that Google charges for advertising and Google charges for a lot of newspaper, books, and archive content.
If you’d like to read a short article about how Google witheld their own employees and filthy rich bosses from being subjected to their own Street View gimmick, check out Google execs out of sight.

Open Source benefits the end user … it is a role reversal, where the end user of the product acts like the executive receiving all the benefits, and the programmer plays the worker slave — except the end user pays little to nothing for the product, and the programmer earns less than a 12-year-old working in a Malaysian factory.
In a real capitalist society, people would pay for programs they need, and only people willing to pay the price would be using software for personal use or to create content for the web. In other words, you wouldn’t have a million useless websites clogging the Internet.
In a communist society, only the people in charge benefit — regardless of their initial good intentions. Google means well, but their model is reminiscent of the book Animal Farm. Only people who conform to their standards are allowed to survive in their sphere of influence. They claim to be open to all, but some people receive more openness than others.
Hey Arturo, your first sentence scared me, but I’m glad you see the light.
