Google was the first search engine to use a cookie that expires in 2038.

I'm not even kidding about that screenshot. That was a couple days ago. Yahoo and google have some ties. :fear:

I'm sure that if youtube had contined to grow at the rate it did then in a few years it too would become an evil corporation with shady business practices so I doubt anything has been changed

Check out that link further up. Youtube is now being forced to use copyright detecting software so that they can send notices to the owner(s) of the copyrighted material and offer them the choice of removing it from youtube's server.

So its already using unattractive business practices; what stands to change from Google's aquisition? People are moaning about how the larger companies swallow up the smaller companies but in a few years time Youtube would join the ranks of the larger companies itself without needing a leg up, and then it would probably be doing its own swallowing

Of course. This is all common sense. The point is if Google or other larger companies didn't buy out these smaller ones there would be more competetion at the top and thus more productive and cheaper products/services. Free market is in shambles in the global economy and this is just a footnote.

Cheaper products? How much have you ever had to pay for Google's products?

In that statement I wasn't speaking only about google, but you probably knew that anyway.
