I haven't read the article, but I suspect Mr. Porter is scared that he will be made extinct and this is just him lashing out in pure desperation. Someone should ask him what he thinks about blogs -- I'm sure that would light a fire somewhere...

There's a kernal in there of justification in respect of attacking Google - it's messing about with how they enforce suspensions of their services, their lawyers assumptions that they must be right because they are Google. I admit to be very annoyed at their attitude to IP. But the article in question smacked off sour grapes and that is probably as bad as the accusations being levelled at Google.

Google sometimes exert the excessive power of a near-monopoly. But they have EARNED that monopoly status by providing exactly what the web needed. And, if I recall correctly, just in time. They might not have saved the world, but they just might have saved the web from drowning in it's own super-size. And after those first Google searches people, and I was one of them, were saying "It's as though Google knew what I was thinking when I wrote that terse query." I’m with you, Dave.
