Google: Primary Rumours Victim
Google continue to be the prime target of hoaxes which attract media attention in vain. Example of recent false publications:
- Opera/Gopera – Google for Web browser domination?
- Napster+Google – Google goes peer-to-peer?
- Goobuntu Linux – Google to enter the operating systems market?
- Low-cost PC – Google to sell electronics?
All of the above are recently-falsified and openly-denied rumours. Many of these rumours appear to incite hatred toward a company that is cautious about destroying its profile and has maintained a relatively ethical historical record. Are they a victim of their own success or perhaps a tool in the hands of investment sharks?
