‘OK. OK. I give in. Please stop hurting me, Brin. I now realise that resistance is futile.’

‘Look I did what you asked. I have now converted to Google Reader. Please, no more. I will do anything you want. Please, Sergey - let my wife go.’

Even my son (newly hired Google enforcer) has now installed Google Desktop and is busy indexing the entire contents of the PC.

Just about the only remaining product in the Google portfolio I don’t use is Adsense.

Am I a fully fledged Google whore yet ? If not, what else do I need to do ?

‘Oh no - you’ve discovered I am not using Blogger. No Sergey. Please. I beg you. Please, Brin. Show some mercy. Not the pliers and electrical cord. Please stop. Aaaarrgghhh. I give in. Please stop now.’
