Im in Germany, i can see no investment to grow a european google. Oh, yes there are great declarations of grandios plans. But my experience in a baker-shop can tell you everything on the european attitude towards technology. "So what are you doing for a livin?" "I work as a software developer.." "Oh, so your company doesent produce anything real?" You cant force a culture to embrace something new that it detests. This doesent mean that this culture will not buy the products, but it will never produce them on the level as californium. Another example? People pay ridiculous amounts of money for public television in germany. And it is bad. Outright horrible. Not regarding production quality, not the acting, execution and direction. Then what is missing to create a german game of thrones? The answer: A diffrent production culture, that doesent view half a hour of screaming drama as a authentic drama, and understands that a joke on the henchmans axeblade makes drama so much more impacting. Will that change come? No. Cultures only adapt when they suffer and europe is not suffering enough.

Please don't speak of a "European attitude towards technology" when there is none. For example, I can't imagine hearing the attitude you describe here in Sweden, and I believe you could find plenty of germans who would disagree with you as well. Not only are we many different countries, but we are also different individuals. There is no common "European attitude towards technology".

  This is a very reasonable point. By the same logic, there should not be a single European action taken against Google either. The people behind all of the political resistance to Google in EU countries seem to all be from, or tied to, EU corporations who want to take some of the market from Google by force. They are trying to push through regulations that are good for their company with little regard to what is good for the people of all the different EU nations.
