I knew the guy that developed Google maps before it was sold to
Google, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of the funding came from
the govt. The CIA very openly started an incubator fund in Silicon
Valley in the 90's. I remember reading about it, though haven't heard
anything since - big surprise.

The BIG problem with Google is lack of senior management. Their credo
is to turn a bunch of young people loose on projects and see what they
come up with. So some young engineer thinks that maybe capturing the
wifi SSIDs of home networks when driving a Google Maps car through a
neighborhood might be useful someday and hey it might actually reward
him with a better position at Google. If he had a more senior manager
looking over his work he might be asked if he didn't feel that was an
intrusion into privacy and maybe something Google might not want in the
code because it WOULD raise privacy issues.
Of course there will those who call fie on this because supposedly
Google was funded by the CIA. Maybe they were.
I call Google a lemonade stand because of the lack of senior guidance
at the company. I beat them hard over their engineer dumps which are
supposed to be documentation for Android. Lately I've been doing some
C# programming and once again when I look up something for C# on
Microsoft's site I get a short concise definition as well as a too the
point short example of the function. On Android there is some long
winded rambling description and some poor example code that sorta fails
to explain use properly.
Google feels they don't have time to finish things because they need to
stay ahead of the crowd and rush on to the next big thing.

Yahoo websites attracted more US visitors than Google in July,

Google are becoming a bit creepy and nosy-parkerish aren't they?
