Because I got in on the Google IPO big time and even bought more in the
early weeks after the IPO and I'm making "jillions of dollars" too...
but that's beside the point.

Google only points people to my content; it's not directly making money
off my content.  Read my original comments again; I only voiced concern
if Toshiba is somehow profiting directly from this service.  If they
providing it free, as Google does, more power to them.  But if they
charging for this data aggregation scheme delivered to cell phones, then
I have a problem with it.

I have always tended toward giving away my services on the Internet
(re:
CyberWire Dispatch) because I believed that the Net gave so much to
me.
But I always stopped short of allowing any web site of commercial
nature
to reprint CWD because I wasn't making a dime from it.  However, if
they
wanted to pay me, that was all well and good.  But someone else making
a
buck from my intellectual property without offering to pay me as well,
nope, doesn't fly.

So how do you feel about Google, making jillions of dollars off pointing
searchers to content that it did not create?

How is that different from what Toshiba says it intends to do?
