I just saw a TV-commercial for one of germany's leading news-magazines "Stern", with the title story "Global force Google".

And people still believe in "Don't do evil"? This headline sound more like "The new american army".

I dare to doubt, that the article will have stuff in it like: "The power gained from Google's network effects combined with it's altruistic attitude makes it the first humanistic global force."

Of course they could say, that access to information was never that easy... but centralized main-stream censorship for the whole of China never was that easy either....
