FROM GOOGLE TO JUST PLAIN GOOGLE
One of Google's worst fears may have been realised. The latest edition of the Merriam-Webster Dictionary includes the word "google" which means to use the well-known search engine to look for information on the web.

I think this is actually a bad thing for Google. I hadn't realized that so many companies had lost their copy right protection simply because their name became common use with their product. I thought once you copy righted your name it couldn't be used as long as you continually renewed it. That seems rather unfair that Google even has to worry about this happening. At least right now no one says to google it on yahoo.
