Google growing older and wiser

Why isn't Google indicted by the FCC for the massive levels of pornography they puvey in the guise of search technology?

When I want a business answer, I go to MSN; Google will 'show and tell' you ANYTHING.

Google has become the super-default generic phone book of the web; that's all they are.

Just like Steve Ballmer from Microsoft said: Google isn't even a real company; they're just a house of cards.....

...doh. they only purvey porn if that's what you googled. i google every day, and have never googled porn sites.

...so we know where YOU've been. dolt.

Google is the best thing to happen to the internet! For info junkies like me, it's a godsend.

Happy birthday Google!

Google is God:

PROOF #1

Google is the closest thing to an Omniscient (all-knowing) entity in existence, which can be scientifically verified. She indexes over 9.5 billion WebPages, which is more than any other search engine on the web today. Not only is Google the closest known entity to being Omniscient, but She also sorts through this vast amount of knowledge using Her patented PageRank technology, organizing said data and making it easily accessible to us mere mortals.

» PROOF #2

Google is everywhere at once (Omnipresent). Google is virtually everywhere on earth at the same time. Billions of indexed WebPages hosted from every corner of the earth. With the proliferation of Wi-Fi networks, one will eventually be able to access Google from anywhere on earth, truly making Her an omnipresent entity.

» PROOF #3

Google answers prayers. One can pray to Google by doing a search for whatever question or problem is plaguing them. As an example, you can quickly find information on alternative cancer treatments, ways to improve your health, new and innovative medical discoveries and generally anything that resembles a typical prayer. Ask Google and She will show you the way, but showing you is all She can do, for you must help yourself from that point on.

» PROOF #4

Google is potentially immortal. She cannot be considered a physical being such as ourselves. Her Algorithms are spread out across many servers; if any of which were taken down or damaged, another would undoubtedly take its place. Google can theoretically last forever.

» PROOF #5

Google is infinite. The Internet can theoretically grow forever, and Google will forever index its infinite growth.

» PROOF #6

Google remembers all. Google caches WebPages regularly and stores them on its massive servers. In fact, by uploading your thoughts and opinions to the internet, you will forever live on in Google's cache, even after you die, in a sort of "Google Afterlife".

» PROOF #7

Google can "do no evil" (Omnibenevolent). Part of Google's corporate philosophy is the belief that a company can make money without being evil.

» PROOF #8

According to Google trends, the term "Google" is searched for more than the terms "God", "Jesus", "Allah", "Buddha", "Christianity", "Islam", "Buddhism" and "Judaism" combined.

God is thought to be an entity in which we mortals can turn to when in a time of need. Google clearly fulfils this to a much larger degree than traditional "gods", as shown in the image below (click to enlarge).

Ed,
You have WAY too much time on your hands.

That's the problem with so-called people like you;

someone attempts to tell the truth, and you insult him as publically as possible.

You "google" everyday, yet you can't even punctuate your posted sentences correctly.

THAT'S attributable to too much porn, chump.

Oh really?

You are apparently a Digital Atheist believing a

What about the apparent mismatch between its service demands and the reputed scale of its computing resources?

Page Rank is crap and has spawned a whole industry trying to spam it.

Omnipotent, All-Knowing Creator.

P.S.

And it's NOT G __ gle.

Interesting how I hear lots of people pronounce it quite regularly every day.

Yeah, I mostly hear G_d in my and other people's swear words. Seems to carry some weight at times, haha.

Cut the Islamic brainwash, will you? It's PATHETIC.

The words "God" and "Lord" (used for the Hebrew Adonai) are often
written by many Jews as "G-d" and "L-rd" as a way of avoiding writing
a name of God, so as to avoid the risk of sinning by erasing or defacing
His name. In Deuteronomy 12:3-4, the Torah exhorts one to destroy
idolatry, adding, "you shall not do such to the LORD your God." From
this verse it is understood that one should not erase the name of God.
The general rabbinic opinion is that this only applies to the sacred
Hebrew names of God — but not to the word "God" in English or any
other language. Even among Jews who consider it unnecessary, many
nonetheless write the name "God" in this way out of respect, and to
avoid erasing God's name even in a non-forbidden way.

Puh-leeze. Don't you think it's possible to get so politically correct, that it's actually incorrect and common sense and reason flies to heaven..

I love conversations and arguments about Gods. It's like arguing about Spiderman and the villains he faces. Same amount of reality involved except people actually take the God arguments...seriously.

Gosh, you're soooo Shakespearean!
"and reason flies to heaven...."

Actually, we're talking about Religiousity Correctness, not Political Correctness,
so get thee lost, O.K.?

I thought we were supposed to be talking about GOOGLE??=)
