On Sunday, I ran Google to pull up some sites. Then when I clicked on a search result, it warned me the site in question was trying to install malware. Nothing I could click would take me there. It took me a good minute before I realized I could just type the address in the url bar.
All the usual suspects were unavailable through Google: imdb, wikipedia, cnn.com. I was wondering if Google had been hacked.
Then I read this story and learned what happened.
My whole point is, dang, man, I had no idea exactly how much control Google has over my internet habits. It didn't even occur to me to use MSN's Livesearch or Yahoo!'s search engine.
And it still hasn't occurred to me that that's not how you spell googol.
