Dell Embraces Google, How Warm and Fuzzy

Certain members of the tech press are so enamored with Google that they're getting companies to hug it in their headlines: "Dell embraces Google," for example over at Red Ball.

Could you imagine this headline: Microsoft embraces Google? Just suppose, for a moment, that they were play buddies and not rivals. Wouldn't there be a big stink about how Microsoft is trying to monopolize the desktop if they cut such a deal? But this is Google, which does no evil.

Note this key phraseology in the Red Ball story today:
"A Dell representative said that the deal will not hamper consumer choice on the Dell desktop, however," the story reports.
