Right, let's see.
I found the above video at youtube (owned by google.) I can look up information about what I find at wikipedia, which is invariably the first, second, or third link that appears when I google (in the google search engine) just about any noun.
Okay. Noun.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noun
That was second in the list.
And I have downloaded Firefox--and it has a google toolbar, and it's main page is a Firefox emblazoned google search bar.
FREE
To dither endlessly?
So google is allowing you to tour the universe just like you would tour...the Earth
Is Google Evil?
There must be something evil about these people who keep giving me free stuff that seems so enlightened. What evilnesses are they up to behind the scenes?
At the Googleplex in Mountain View, in one of the foyers of the ever-growing number of new buildings, you'll find a giant whiteboard with the heading "Google's Master Plan."
Here, the company's 12,000-and-counting employees can write collaborative suggestions for world domination, such as creating an "interplanetary Internet," establishing "orbital mind control" and even eliminating "all stairs." There's no reason to think the company takes any of these ideas seriously: when the board is full of world domination plans, it gets wiped.

Or does the image of all those plans of world domination get stashed in some cache somewhere?
And what are these geeks writing on that board? And who are these geeks?
Heh. The Wikipedia pages only came seventh and seventh-plus in my search for "Larry Page and Sergey Brin"
Hey ho!
Sergey Brin (Russian: Сергей Михайлович Брин) (born August 21, 1973 in Moscow, Russia) is an American entrepreneur who co-founded Google with Larry Page.
Brin is currently the President of Technology at Google and has a net worth estimated at $16.6 billion as of March 9, 2007, making him the 26th richest person in the world together with Larry Page and the 9th richest person in the United States.[3] He is also the 4th youngest billionaire in the world.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Brin
A russian billionaire!
Sergey was born in Moscow, Russia, to a Jewish family, the son of a mathematician and economist. In 1979, when Sergey was six, his family emigrated to the United States. Brin attended grade school at Paint Branch Montessori School in Adelphi, Maryland, but he received further education at home; his father Michael Brin, a professor in the department of mathematics at the University of Maryland, nurtured his interest in mathematics and his family helped him retain his Russian language skills. In September 1990, after having attended Eleanor Roosevelt High School, Sergey enrolled in the University of Maryland, College Park to study Computer Science and Mathematics, where he received his Bachelors of Science in May 1993 with high honors. After graduating from Maryland, Sergey received a graduate fellowship from the National Science Foundation, which allowed him to study for his masters degree in Computer Science at Stanford University. Sergey received his masters degree in August 1995 ahead of schedule in the process of his Ph.D. studies. Although he is still enrolled in the Stanford doctoral program, Sergey has suspended his Ph.D. studies indefinitely while he is working at Google. Sergey also received an honorary MBA from the Instituto de Empresa.
But there was that other bloke.
Lawrence Edward "Larry" Page (born March 26, 1973 in Lansing, Michigan) is an American entrepreneur who co-founded the Google internet search engine, now Google Inc., with Sergey Brin.[3]
Page is currently the President of Products at Google Inc. and has a net worth estimated at 18.5 billion dollars, making him the 5th richest person in the America together with Sergey Brin according to Forbes' annual list of billionaires on 2007[2].
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Page
(Once again I imagine you knowing all this and me playing catch up. [Those numbers up there, they don't work out, do they?])
Larry Page is the son of the late Dr. Carl Victor Page, one of the University of Michigan's first computer science Ph.D Graduates, and professor of computer science and artificial intelligence at Michigan State University[4], and Gloria Page, a computer programming teacher at Michigan State University. He is also the brother of Carl Victor Page, Jr., a co-founder of eGroups, later sold to Yahoo! for approximately half a billion dollars.
Page attended a Montessori school in Lansing, Michigan and graduated from East Lansing High School. Page holds a Bachelor of Science degree in computer engineering from the University of Michigan with honors and a Masters degree from Stanford University.[5] At University of Michigan, Page was a member of the solar car team and served as the president of the HKN.[6]
Ah....can you see the evil link?
MONTESSORI
(Google Montessori: first link: Wikipedia)
The Montessori method is an educational method for children, based on theories of child development originated by Italian educator Maria Montessori in the late 19th and early 20th century. It is applied primarily in preschool and elementary school settings, though some Montessori high schools exist.
The method is characterized by an emphasis on self-directed activity on the part of the child and clinical observation on the part of the teacher (often called a "director", "directress", or "guide"). It stresses the importance of adapting the child's learning environment to his developmental level, and of the role of physical activity in absorbing academic concepts and practical skills. Although there are many schools which use the name "Montessori," the word itself is not recognized as a trademark, nor is it associated with a single specific organization. Thus it is legally possible to use the term "Montessori" without necessary adherence to a particular training or teaching method. Nonetheless, schools identifying themselves as "Montessori schools" generally apply this method in their teaching.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montessori
Onwards!
Sideways!
Dr. Montessori's original school was for the preschool aged child, but she later extended the methodology for children through high school and a number of schools around the world implement her approach to education for a wide range of ages.
"From the moment the child enters the classroom, each step in his education is seen as a progressive building block, ultimately forming the whole person, in the emergence from childhood to adult. All focus is on the needs of the child." [1]
One distinguishing feature of Montessori at the preschool age is that children direct their own learning, choosing among the sections of a well-structured and stocked classroom including Practical Life (fine and gross motor skill development), Sensorial (sensory and brain development), Language, Math, Geography, Science and Art. The role of a teacher is to introduce children to materials and then remain a "silent presence" [2]in the classroom.
each step in his education
Or her
cough cough cough cough cough!
But we were talking about these two male billionaires, one russian one american, who both went to Montessori schools in the U.S. and run google.
They have a blog.

They hide themselves well....
Back to that blog. Is it a hoax, or do the two billionaires who own google have a gooky blog over at searchguild?
February 29, 2003 Evil
Posted by: Sergey Brin
I just read an article in Wired. According to Eric - "Evil," says Google CEO Eric Schmidt, "is what Sergey says is evil."
I've been working on my lists:
Evil
Selling PageRank
Manipulating my index
Bill Gates
Other Search Engines
Not Evil
Claiming we can't remove paedophile pages
Having adverts for drugs
In fact, having adverts for pretty much anything we say is evil
Collaborating with foreign governments, e.g. China, to help censor the web
But this is old news! 2003? Pfff. That's the past, things have moved on.
Here is a list of google's managers. Are there any evil names on the list?
'Coz I'm getting worried that there's a sucker born every time I breathe--and no matter how much I try to de-suck him, he just keeps sucking back--at every breath.
All These Great Free Tools
Google supports more than 104 languages or dialects and offers a personalized version of his engine for more than 115 countries.
2 types of access are so possible according to the interface:
· by national, regional language or dialect (in green)
· by countries (in blue)
Google lets you travel the world, and learn at the same time. For example by searching for "Frysk", you can find out that Frisian is a language spoken chiefly in the northern Holland province of Friesland, and also in a portion of Schleswig-Holstein in northern Germany... Oh yes... Google's developers are fans of Star Trek, muppets and cartoons...
Discover thus Google UK, Google Spain and spanish, Mexico, Brazil, arabic, farsi, Google Israel, Google Colombia, Deutschland(.de), .uk...

What about google and alternative energy?
via EarthTimes.org: - headquarters of "Google Inc. will soon become one of the largest solar powered corporate office complexes in the U.S. by building a solar-powered electricity system at its Silicon Valley..." campus. This comes as no surprise to our regular readers. Reportedly, Google bought its new "Googleplex" campus for $319 million, where it is installing solar panels with a generation capacity of 1.6 megawatts, enough to supply about 30% of projected use at the administrative complex. C02 emissions reduction from the project is projected to be 3.6 million pounds/year (equivalent to 4.28 million car miles/year). "Pasadena-based EI Solutions, that forms a part of a high-tech incubator headed by entrepreneur Bill Gross, is handling the project". If anyone wants to keep track of the project, all they have to do is perform a google satellite map search...unless, of course, a security Dalek declares it off limits.

That was the first link in my seach for "google alternative energy".
Is this a conspiracy? Are they telling me lies? Have I become the guy who took the blue pill? Or was it the red pill?
Neither Good Nor Bad
2. The Rise of Relative Opposites
When the people of the Earth all know beauty as beauty,
There arises (the recognition of) ugliness.
When the people of the Earth all know the good as good,
There arises (the recognition of) evil.
Therefore:
Being and non-being interdepend in growth;
Difficult and easy interdepend in completion;
Long and short interdepend in contrast;
High and low interdepend in position;
Tones and voice interdepend in harmony;
Front and behind interdepend in company.
Therefore the Sage:
Manages affairs without action;
Preaches the doctrine without words;
All things take their rise, but he does not turn away from them;
He gives them life, but does not take possession of them;
He acts, but does not appropriate;
Accomplishes, but claims no credit.
It is because he lays claim to no credit
That the credit cannot be taken away from him.
