You know when you watch movies like Total Recall, or Blade Runner, or play a sci-fi game, and there's that pervasive company that seems bigger than any political super power? That's what I think of when one of the Four Horsemen (especially Google) looks like expanding territory blatantly outside their core offering. In this case, I'm hoping they're just hiring technical people and not looking at cleaning houses, but it always brings that fictional megacorp to mind and makes me uncomfortable.
