Google + Amazon = Googlezon

Everybody likes Google, but is it going to take over our lives by filtering our news and collecting personal information based on our purchases? Maybe, but that's the worst case scenario according to whoever created this movie. Any company, even one as beneficial as Google, that gets too big has the potential to cause consumers pain. I like Google now and hope it continues to be innovative (make Hello for Mac), etc, but if it merges with Amazon then I'll be concerned.
