With that in mind, it's unsurprising that he's now just as paranoid about the Google-owned Orkut. This isn't to say that he's wrong, necessarily, but just keep it in mind as you read the article. This guy has a definite axe to grind with Google, and he's spent much of the past year or two writing up wild-eyed articles about them. Maybe there really is something to it, but getting a second opinion or source of anything he writes wouldn't be a bad idea. But then, that's true for any news source, isn't it? :) It just may be even more the case here... -- Chris Devers
