I strongly trust this is the best analysis and something of grave concern. So, is Google doing more harm than good? If yes, what do they get out of this whole thing? They must pay heed to the concern of the community. Raj, may I use your comment, with your name, against a news item in Google Chrome in EFYTimes (http://www.efytimes.com/efytimes/28556/news.htm)? At least the blind supporters should be aware of the damages. I hope you will permit.
