Yeah, pretty interesting...

If google got that powerful then microsoft would surely get less so. Still, it's a bit negative too, think about what would happen if Google got a hold of all that power... Shocked

Definately. They use those satellite images to determine your brith date, Social Insurance Numer, personality, how tall you are, whether you are susceptible to any diseases...

Google's "do no evil" policy has really become a "do no public evil"; they collect just as much information as anyone else; in fact they act much as any other advertising based company works. The only major differences are that they promote creativity as much as possible, and they don't sell what information they do collect.... they just horde it all for themselves.

I saw that years ago. Anyways, yeah, really prophetic. Would be interesting to see if any of this actually becomes.

Winston Smith is the protagonist in George Orwell's 1984 (which if you don't know, is a novel about a society which, among other things, is controlled by a totalitarian government).
