I know....I guess I set myself up as the "Google-Hater", huh?
(Nonetheless, I am quite adamant about few issues in my life, but this "Google Thing" is starting to grow larger than I ever intended!)

Interesting developments:
Sunday, August 6, 2006 : Google announces partnership with Viacom to merge digital advertising to commonplace online opportunities
(translation/ 1. expect streaming commercials on every Google controlled webpage as part of their "toolbar" 2. every Google program will now require such placements on websites in reciprocal manner....expect pop-ups and animated gifs on your AdSense program if you want access to Google Analytics or wish to keep their Search tools) I truly feel bummed that individual freedoms are being "wiped" and the early warnings (like mine) are seen as obtuse and "silly".......

And.....did you notice the date of the cookie mentioned above....the year 2038???
That is the year predicted by the Mayans for the end of the worldly cycle as we know it....like the Armegeddon we are familiar with....Hmmm...
(THAT is a really fascinating story unto itself...it is the date when perfect Earth/Solar system/Milky Way alignment takes place, only once every 20,000 years, and the Maya calculated this over 700 years ago with their simple astrological mapping....WE couldn't even do it until 1977!!)
