About Google, its Monopoly, its products and other matters

I want to share with you a very personal opinion, which may or may not be wrong, but it is what I think. How many times have we not heard that Google intends to create (if you don't already have it) un Monopoly on the web? What if he Monopoly de Google this, what if he Monopoly de Google the other.

I have seen that many people are concerned that Google take majority control over the Internet, but let's compare them with other companies Monopolists as Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), o Microsoft. How much do you charge us Google For use Gmail, Google Docs, Gtalk, Google Reader, Google Earth…etc? Are we required to use your products? What is the real price we have to pay? The saddest thing of all for many is that most of these products are excellent.

Google Chrome

With Google Chrome, aim to achieve leadership in the market of Browsers, as it reached at the time Internet Explorer. What's wrong with that?

Google Chrome It is a browser that has managed to reach a lot of popularity for its merits, and I clarify, for me it is not perfect, I miss many things about Firefox. But there is no denying that it is reaching the corners where Firefox could not enter. Speed, Performance, Simplicity, are adjectives that characterize this browser, designed only to access the most remote places on the Internet in the shortest possible time.

The future

What will be the next step? The future (although I don't like the idea) is to have everything in The Cloud. Maybe Google tomorrow have the Monopoly and Control total on the web, but it will be necessary to see to what extent that will affect us as users. Our Privacy you will always be at risk, just be connected to the Internet. Google, Facebook, MicrosoftThey all manage to make the user send data that they then collect.

But all is not lost, although Chrome for example, send data to Google without us knowing it exists Chromium o SRWare Iron that they don't. It will always be a risk to have our emails, documents and others in The Cloud (Gmail for example), we know it and yet we continue to do so.

That is why this issue does not concern me for now, not with Google at least. There are more delicate things like SOUP disgusting that the North want to make the whole world take over. While Google provide me with good products, without asking me (apparently) nothing in return or forcing me to use them, that's fine by me. Can anyone imagine an Internet without Saint Google?

    In the strict sense of what a monopoly is http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopolio, google is not.

    People's "fear" is understandable, Microsoft has made us all distrust a huge company and see the "danger" that what we have now in an accessible form, suddenly becomes an imposition, just as Microsoft does.

    I agree with you in your reflection, google products are very good, nobody forces us to use them, and the best thing, that they are free (until now), let's enjoy it and stop worrying about what it could be.

    regards

    I personally use a lot of google products, because it is easy to have everything in one place, with the fact of privacy .... I am not concerned, firstly because I have nothing to hide and the truth is that privacy is the least important thing in life. internet, everything is tracked, your browsing habits, what you buy etc etc etc ...

    It makes me funny to hear users who "care so much" about privacy, and on Facebook they even put the color of their pants, Facebook being the great data collector and seller that it is

    That is not the question, the question is: Will they?

    Are we required to use your products?

    The magic phrase ... ¬¬

    Well said, why fight so much against san google if what it gives is good.

    privacy where?

    From our internet providers our privacy is violated, so where there is privacy, that is a lie, it no longer exists, from word of mouth to a comment right here, privacy has ceased to exist.

      The problem is that duck duck go is missing many pages to index, for example many Italian websites that I visit, nor are they.
