Is Change another Clarence Walker?

So is Hubert Chang's claim true? Google has exploded and continues to do so taking on a multitude of competitors (mostly Microsoft) in a variety of fields: search technology, web-based email, web-based applications, photo sharing, maps, location-based services, data centers, and now browsers themselves (note to Google and every other browser writer: STICK to the XHTML standard...none of us developers want to spend hours upon hours debugging why the same XHTML code doesn't work in your browser!). Anyway, back to the program: I'm not sure what Mr. Chang's interest is in bringing this up now. I'd kind of argue that "you snooze, you lose."
