I used to be a rather paranoid "Big Brother" fearing type, but Google wins me over again and again with not only a user focus that attempts to win us over by being better than the alternatives in meaningful ways, but also by having a greater understanding of what we actually want.

It's kind of embarrassing how much of a fanboy I sound like these days, but I've just been endlessly impressed with their innovation.

As a side note, it was really awesome seeing something I wrote posted on HN. I feel like a real boy now.
