Impressive list of things Google can potentially dig up about you. Maybe we'll finally see some real public reaction soon...the pot's about to boil over.

A British businessman is threatening a landmark legal action against Google, the world's leading internet search engine, after claims that it has defamed him...Mr Renton, 48, (Dotworld's) managing director, of Wembley, north London, said he would sue if Google did not take down the links about his company posted anonymously. "Based on what I know today, I am determined to go ahead with this," he added...A successful legal challenge could be catastrophic for all search engines in the future as Google and its rivals might have to filter their results more carefully, excluding those that were defamatory."
Let's hope the courts are smart enough about the web and throw this stupid case right out.

"There’s an interesting aspect of Google’s impact on our daily lives. The Internet is so useful - despite its quite chaotic organization - and Google is so good at retrieving information, that we don’t bother to remember anything anymore."
Creepy but true, and I don't think we'll be turning back. The next step will be integrating Google completely with our mobiles (maybe that's what the Google phone is doing). Then, except coverage dropouts, Google really will be “the other part of my brain”.
