Ever since the announcement of Google’s home made and custom tailored operating system, Google Chrome OS, there has been immense excitement and also cautious optimism as far as Google’s reign on the internet world is concerned.

Not so long ago, Google was just another search engine that surfaced with the goal of giving competition to two of the most established search networks, Microsoft and Yahoo! In the ensuing year, the picture of the internet dramatically changes where, Microsoft and Yahoo! are now left with trying to create applications and services that can at the least come close to Google services.

In its years of operation, Google has infact learned tons about the users and in some cases knows more about you, than you would like a corporate entity to know. Gmail users’ emails are constantly been scanned by Google, to pick out keywords that would let the search giant depict related advertisements. The Street View in Google Maps knows where you live and what you do and portrays it to the entire world.

Google has long followed the “Don’t be Evil” policy, with which it keeps the users above everything else. However, in the recent times, Google has done some deeds that has put a question mark on its work ethics, such as the censorship it integrated in its search results in China, where freedom of speech is not exactly a fundamental right.

Many experts speculate that, if and when Google Chrome OS surpasses user expectations and if it takes over the long standing Microsoft Windows, Google just might forget its “Don’t be Evil” policy, as that would be the time, when Google will have the monopoly over the internet.
