The Growing Portrait of Google As A Scary, Expanding Everywhere Copy Monster

even in the author's known field this author is known somewhat lacking in credibility due numerous rants using baseless hypotheses on a subject allegedly the author has expertise in..

Of course than again did the author just copy and paste TC's thesis on said subject?

Seriously! Brian Hall wrote essentially 5 paragraphs of word vomit that seemed somewhat indistinguishable from a Markov model trained on a bunch of phrases about Google combined with some conspiracy theory websites. I was /shocked/ to see John Gruber posting it as an example of something insightful to read. From then on the tech-press echo-chamber went into full effect.
