Google is a behemoth. I wrote sometime ago about the neural aspects of Google

India and China putting up defences against Google.
Sooner or later Joe Public is going to realise that G is just another Big
Brother. The public is fickle and hugely connected, and the days of Google
being a funky search engine are over (if they were ever here). Joe just

I'm old enough to remember big tech paradigm shifts as hit IBM with the PC.
ATT, IBM, Microsoft - there are plenty of examples of market domination being

I have no commercial affiliations with the site or anybody

Finally, this blog is hosted by Google, and sooner ot later I'm going to bite the bullet and move to wordpress...
