Google isn't the new M$, and isn't showing signs of predatory anti-competetive practices. Is's just, um, taking over the web. Unlike ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
thesnowinsummer, I'm not convinced Google is evil. But I'm also no longer of the opinion Google is the best service in the world ever. HMV is trying to buy Ottakar's but faces competition from a mangement buy out. I think I'm with the managers; the local Ottakar's is great, whereas I've never been too keen on HMV stores. Besides, they may merge the chains, and then there would be less space for books; I buy my DVDs online these days so what do I need HMV for? On the other hand The Post Office wants to rival WH Smiths. Um, OK? I know they've got to be a commercial company these days (not happy about it, but it's the way it is) but trying to compete head on with Smiths and Argos? Meh.
( More headlines and stuff )
Last one for now. Shoot someone? Complain when the public get told. I know, I know, we don't have all the facts, the bad bits not the whole story was leaked, Ian Blair may not be liar extraordinaire, etc. Still, mistakes happen, they were under pressure, etc. Still doesn't justify lying about it for 72 hours.
