That's definitely a powerful statement. Sam, yeah, when a company becomes a verb that's mindshare for sure! I think YouTube is nearly to the point.

Interesting that "look up" is now synonymous with Google... Cringley might be a little out there in his comparison to Reagan and the Cold War, but I suppose there's so much action from Google right now that's it's hard to ignore.
