I just read over on Digital Silence that RealNetworks and Google have partnered to deliver the Google Toolbar with your next Real Player download …
Is it just me, or is Google trying to take over the world? I mean, I really like the Google toolbar, particularly for it’s ability to highlight text on the page, which I can’t live without anymore. But … maybe it’s time to find a new search engine. I mean, what with their new Gmail service and now this … I’m beginning to think their main goal is access to every piece of information on the planet, no matter how private.
Incidentally, since I switched to firefox for my browser, I’ve found NeedleSearch, which has the main features of the Google bar (including highlighting), but lets me configure dozens of search engines like Teoma, Mooter or even that new (_Google-Powered. See? They’re taking over the world!_) one from Amazon, a9
