Google Announces Plan To Destroy All Information It Can't Index
August 31, 2005 | Issue 41•35
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA—Executives at Google, the rapidly growing online-search company that promises to "organize the world's information," announced Monday the latest step in their expansion effort: a far-reaching plan to destroy all the information it is unable to index.
"Our users want the world to be as simple, clean, and accessible as the Google home page itself," said Google CEO Eric Schmidt at a press conference held in their corporate offices. "Soon, it will be."
The new project, dubbed Google Purge, will join such popular services as Google Images, Google News, and Google Maps, which catalogs the entire surface of the Earth using high-resolution satellites.
As a part of Purge's first phase, executives will destroy all copyrighted materials that cannot be searched by Google.

Funny, I just posted a (much more egocentric) entry on Googling myself and then came to read this. Here's another fun Google topic (check out johnny.ihackstuff.com or just google 'Google hacking' or 'Google hacks'): hacking using carefully-worded Google searches. Apparently you can find out all sorts of stuff you shouldn't by using Google properly, or improperly, I guess, including secure file locations, passwords, etc. I mean obviously this stuff can be protected, but a lot of (even very good) programmers seem to miss holes all over the place that have, until the advent of better search engines, been difficult to arbitrarily find.
