Linux Journal is correct. Google does launch things the public finds indispensable; Google Search and Google Mail for example.

You might not use Google's products, but the fact is many/most people use them daily and find them indispensable. The word 'google' wouldn't have become a verb otherwise.

A little less knee-jerk reactions would be good.

(just imagine what would happen if an article mentioned Microsoft as the producer of indispensable technology)
