"Google" is NOT a Verb (lest ye be sued into oblivion)

The lawyers for Google have something to earn a few fee dollars on now. I just saw a tidbit in Tidbits about how these wiley lawyers are all bunched up about the word "Google" being listed as a verb in the latest edition of Websters and have been sending out terse notes to media organizations that they had better not use the word as a verb.

This is the problem with being too successful and establishing your brand as a universal word for something like web-searching.

Poor Google...getting their company name in the dictionary. How sad for them.
