Oh, horrors. One giant, faceless, disgustingly rich corporation that provides menial but important services functionally, if not pleasantly or particularly efficiently and treats its customers like so much livestock is about to be bought up by another. And I had such a deep emotional investment in one of them.
Yeah, Google's pretty handy (for now), but it's not like it's the only search engine that could ever be any good, or like its performance (or the performance of whatever engine it's turned into) will be greatly hampered by this. The result is about the same for end users no matter what. No real reason to be upset about it other than projecting human features on thoroughly nonhuman megacorps.
