Has Google Oversteped its Boundaries?
I am all for technology. Google is amazing. It has changed the way we search and access information. Any dispute over an answer to a question, Google it. Your son wants to know how and why Mosquitos suck your blood, Google it. Even my 80 year old mother in law uses Google. Now that is amazing! But is there a limit to what they should offer?

When I want to know about the latest widget on my Mac my middle-schooler knows them all.
