Check out this 50 minute documentary on Google. This is not the typical fluffy piece we have seen on ABC or CBS with the worlds most popular search engine.
In this film the interviewers ask some very tough questions making several Google employees squirm in their chair a bit.
The documentary addresses how Google ranks pages with its algorithm. Google saying it is based on links (what a surprise).
But more interesting was a behind the scenes look at how Google is attempting to digitize thousands of books from the worlds greatest libraries.

Finally a real interview, with straightforward questions ! …too bad the answers are always the same.
