Is google trying to be GOD

well here i would like to touch upon another issue. see i have been tracking google for abt 3 years very very keenly, coz acc to me here is one company who can actually beat M$. (i have heard abt atleast a dozen having the potential to do so, and seeing them disappear or being purchased by M$ ) but google is constantly proving me and its supporters right.

but a little keen observation, frequent visit to google labs, and keeping a track on goole, reveals a very frightning picture. i will ilustrate my point

GOOGLE PRODUCTS
1) google search engine => knows exactly what you are searching and looking for

2) gmail.com => captures the market, and make ppl store huge amount of their mails on google servers

3)google base => offers free upload service, makes ppl store a lot of their information on google servers again

4)google earth => with enabling community shared placemarks, knows where you are staying (94% ppl attempt to locate their homes, in the first search on gearth) or where ppl want to go the most in general.

5) google calender => eliminates your desktop calender, this has two implications, you are now even storing your softwares on google servers with your data, secondly they know where you are going.

6) google api's => soon to be launched, will enable ppl to do tasks like wordprocessing, spreadsheet etc online.

see what i am trying to point is that, google wants ppl to completely store their data and software on their servers, knows exactly where you are going, doing, and even knows what you want to know. (God is the word).

see probably google is doing all this, coz of amazing advert potential, coz it can direct just the right adverts to you, knowing what it knows (or attempting to know abt you).

now coming to the danger, even if i ignore that google has something up their sleeves (like first making you dependent on them, and then charging their free services), what abt the risk of data theft, when the whole code winxp can be realeased on net, even data theft from google servers is a possibilty, well the evil just doesn't end there, but i won't further discuss that, but leave it to you to think.

what say???????
