Wary of Internet giant
Google's long tentacles have many running scared:
Silicon Valley: Concerned that Google's outsize ambition is squashing startups and raising salaries in the tech industry.
Madison Avenue: Fears that Google is taking over the advertising business and making established ad agencies irrelevant.
Hollywood: Takes umbrage at widespread piracy on Google's YouTube video service, claiming it violates copyright law.
Privacy advocates: Worry that Google's collection of personal information will create a massive database that can be mined by government.

Is there one decent journalist left in the world, or do they all just retype the latest whining press release?
