Welcome to the Church of Google, where the members have finally recognized that God does exist, and it is a search engine. If you want proof that Google truly is God, checkout their proof page. Me, personally, was more intrigued by their 10 commandments:
- Thou shalt have no other Search Engine before me, neither Yahoo nor
Lycos, AltaVista nor Metacrawler. Thou shalt worship only me, and come to
Google only for answers.
- Thou shalt not build thy own commercial-free Search Engine, for I am a
jealous Engine, bringing law suits and plagues against the fathers of the
children unto the third and fourth generations.
- Thou shalt not use Google as a verb.
- Thou shalt remember each passing day and use thy time as an
opportunity to gain knowledge of the unknown.
- Thou shalt honor thy fellow humans, regardless of gender, sexual
orientation or race, for each has invaluable experience and knowledge to
contribute toward humankind.
- Thou shalt not misspell.
- Thou shalt not hotlink.
- Thou shalt not plagiarise or take undue credit for others work.
- Thou shalt not use reciprocal links nor
link farms, for I am a vengeful but fair engine and will diminish thy
PageRank. The Google Dance shall cometh.
- Thou shalt not manipulate Search Results. Search Engine
Optimization is but the work of Microsoft.
So, If google is God, does that make Microsoft the Devil?

GOD = Google Our Diety
We should have known!

No, I believe Google is more than thrilled that we now use it as a verb.

Google is not thrilled because by using it as a verb, we are turning it into a generic term. Once a term becomes generic, it loses its right to enforce its trademark against infringing competitors. Remember the old “Kleenex” and “Xerox” campaigns? (i.e., “xerox is not what you do, it’s the best quality copying,” “For the best quality tissue, buy a Kleenex brand” etc.) Those were similar attempts to un-verbify commonly used trademarks.

“So, If google is God, does that make Microsoft the Devil?”
It’s stated in our FAQ that, indeed, Satan is Microsoft.

Everyone who works with MS products knows that they at least are close friends with the devil. Otherwise, how could they make so much money selling such crappy products.

There is no God but Google and Sandmonkey is its Prophet.

Google – a bunch of #ucks who #ucking think their #hit doesn’t stink. Yet another example of over-compensation for geeks who thru together some code and all of us thought it was the promise land. Give a billion dollars to an AIDS charity or breast cancer – now that’s worth something.
I gag at the thought of Gates showing up as Time’s Person of the Year. When all through the 80’s and 90’s he was criticized for his lack of charitable contribution. Only after he married and found that he owned everything under the sun, did he become a “model” citizen and start coughing up the cash.
By pure default, he is a humanitarian.

Microsoft is definitely the devil. And that little bobbing “helpful” paperclip needs to show its horns!

God is God
and this is stubid

Jona - uhm. Yes, Google is watching us. We all know that.

God is a trinity as all christians know. Google, Microsoft and Yahoo are all one and all three at the same time. But use Linux as a true vehicle of spiritual salvation.
