We talked about why google might be bad in a different thread here, mostly just talking out of our asses as to why John Barlow was asked if Google was evil.
Not long after that, Google was nominated for a BigBrother award for all the evil shit it does. and then I found this article on Wired about using Google to help find vulnerable sites, specifically databases. The first link about the big brother awared nomination is much more interesting, but they are both worth reading.
Slashdot also has two stories (#1 and #2) about Google worth checking out. The first talks about some of the problems people have with google and the second is about some notes a guy posted from a talk by the Google founder that mentions that Google itself was an accident. It wasn't intended to be a search engine as much as an annotation of the internet.
