I don't care what anyone says. Google does all kinds of cool stuff to try and protect people:

I like google on the whole.

I've got a googlesite or two which is dead handy for getting stuff on the web I need to upload links to.

I love them for that. Free webhosting with GUI to make it all. Fab.

I guess people find there sheer size a bit scary.

I switched to bing for a while for searching but partly because I'm used to Google,
I find it much better for seaching.

I also like that they send me e-mails to my WHOIS address warning me that my domain is unreachable.

I also like google. Their services are free. Know what you feed, and just give it what you want.

Sometimes Google just annoys me. I did a really specific search today that returned only one result. I had to tell it to display omitted results to find the link I was actually looking for. "No, what you want isn't important!" >:(

Google sometimes annoys me, too, but then they make up for it by publicly criticizing the FBI.
