Google throws tantrum!

Google has apparently decided to "shut out" CNET and its publications for a year because of this article which shows how the site can be used to gather personal information, in this case about Google's president Eric Schmidt. Seems like an overreaction, especially since "googling" someone is an accepted verb in practically all languages, due entirely to how successful the company's effort to organize the information of the world has been. Is Google "being evil"?
