Opinari.net

Opinari - Latin term for Opinion. Opinari.net is just what it seems: a cornucopia of rants, raves and poignant soliloquy.

Google used to be my favorite search engine. But almost daily, I find reasons to like it less.

I don't like that they weight some sites higher than others in searches if ownersw of those sites pay for such consideration.

I don't like that they enact censorship of Second Amendment advocates, while having no care whatsoever about such things as porn sites.

And now, Microsoft might be buying them. That can only worsen the situation.

To be honest, I like Microsoft generally. I own shares in the company. I am a certified programmer using Microsoft technologies. And I hate the idea of Linux on the enterprise desktop. That being said, I do not wish for Microsoft to own Google. What I do wish is that Google would revert to its original form, but, alas, this is a capitalist society, and who can blame the innovators of Google for wanting to cash in on their product's ubiquity? Even so, that cannot change my opinion. Google was once a great search engine. Now, it is nothing more than a commercial enterprise, with a reputation that exceeds its utility.
