   If people didn't realise before that Google isn't such a fluffy little helpful search engine and tech company but in fact an evil monopolistic advertising corporation, they might realise now.

     @MediaActivist When your search engine isn't a search engine but just an advertising machine it's time to move on.

     I've hardly ever used Google. I always thought it was a stupid name, like Yahoo and their search engine. I used to use Altavista, because at least that was a halfway cool name.

     Now I use Startpage, BUT, in my defense they used to be Ixquick, so you can see why I chose them over all the others.
