You know how Google always has a holiday theme for their logo? This Easter is no exception, and they are acknowledging this most important Christian Holiday by honoring Jesus errr. . . the Easter Bunny . . . no . . . Cezar Chavez, the Liberal / Socialist thug that is/was one of their high priests. Disgusting. dailycaller.com/2013/03/31/google-honors-cesar-chavez-on-easter/

Google is evil
Yup, I been preaching that for several years now. I'm in the process of phasing out Google. Bing is the search engine now. It's going to be a pain changing email accounts but I'm gonna do it.

Don't forget about such fantastic technology like Google armbands where their employees will be required to wear 24/7 for such things as health care costs. If you go to the ice cream parlor after work you'll be getting a letter soon telling you you're at risk of getting fat and could face a possible increase in premiums. No kidding.

Well, I'm not going to defend Google. There was a time when Google was all the nerds getting together to keep the Internet free... I don't know what happened. I did hear they had something for Cezar Chavez for Easter. Note that it was NOT EASTER when Mar 31 was declared a holiday date for Chavez in 2011. Easter was not on Mar 31 in 2011. Following the actual date of the Chavez holiday declared in 2011 was a slur to Easter? Google has NEVER been religious. I can't see that anyone should be insulted by that, any more than being insulted that Scientific America or Sports Illustrated doesn't do a Easter Cover. Very disingenuous of the Daily Caller to write that they didn't know WHY Google did it, when in less than 2 secs I could tell them, and surely a REPORTER could find it faster than little old me: smallbiztrends.com/2013/04/google-easter-doodle.htmlInteresting exerpt: On the other hand, others have suggested Google may simply have a firmer grasp on the changing demographics of its customer base, the reason for its continued dominance in the market place.
It is telling that California, Texas and Colorado each officially celebrated Cesar Chavez day yesterday.
NBC’s Stephen A. Nuño wrote on Easter that Google’s decision should be seen as an acknowledgment of that change. Does this mean that Texas and Colorado are as bad as Google (we know what you think of California already)?

The Easter thing is just the icing on the cake. Google has more info on us than we know ourselves. They are the epitome of big brother.

If anyone still likes google these days - then quite simply they need to do some studying.
Thats a fact - not an opinion.

I have been yahoo forever. I thought about changing over to google once but did not like the email setup. I get all my mail, maps, news and searches through yahoo and have never had any problems with it. Jim

Oh please, as if our thoughts weren't ALREADY controlled by the media we watch and the people we talk to.
How many people who live the simple life in isolation have any need for a cellphone or computer at all? For what? It's NOT challenging what we hear and see that leads to what we like to accuse Google of. if you already reject google, then guess what? They can't control you.
