    So Google gets the credit, huh? As if McAfee and shareware never happened. It really amazes me how so many of today's pundits think everything started after Page and Brin in 1995. That's right, everything started to happen 15 years ago. Sure.

Journalists have tended to pass around the same old same old, instead of going out to find what's going on. How many times did I hear a story proposed ... after someone had something in the Times.
