I don't know if you all have heard, but the world has just (by "just" I mean the recent few weeks as I'm never that uptodate with world news) been saved from a possibly catastrophic event.
A possible merger between software mega-giant Microsoft and internet pioneer Yahoo has fallen through. Shoo! that was close hey. Imagine what they could have done if that had materialised.
Okay yes, it could have horribly backfired in their faces and they could have crash 'n burned leaving Google to pick up the spoils of war (bet that is what they wanted). But lets give them the benefit of the doubt and say that they would have made things work for each other. Microsoft would have been able to make a killing in advertisement revenue not to mention lock-down countless unsuspecting yahoo users into their intricate web of licence only software applications.
And should I even mention that Bill Gates (Microsoft) and Terry S Semel (Yahoo) are power hungry moguls - we definately don't want them to have to much power (presence) on the web.
But this whole outright internet war must make the guys at Google feel super-duper great as everybody is desperately trying to catch up with them, long live fast and free internet!
Read more about this grace from God from people who actually know what they are talking about here.
