I recently saw an argument that Google is God.

With wireless technology, Google can be accessed from anywhere, hence is
omnipresent.

Google gives access to a lot of information, hence is omniscient.

Now, I can poke holes in each of these arguments with specific examples
-- but the clincher is, I don't see (and the argument didn't claim) that
Google is omnipotent.

So Google fails the God test, as far as I'm concerned.  :)
