No it doesn't, nor do I wish it to! 

Last evening I was watching a thing about Motorhead - yes, motorhead the rock band - on youtube. On the right, in the side bar came up a tut about modeling a capitone. I know LuxXeon hadn't laid claim to this tut, and I would like to thank him for posting this.

My question is, Has google gone too far? I remember when (I thought) they where great because they were the only ones who had image search (I'm going back 10 years here) but now I think they are just intrusive bullies.

Wow, Motorhead?  That's old school heavy metal.  I've heard a few of their songs I'm sure.  Yeah, there's quite a few tuts on this out there on how to do this technique, especially for 3dsmax.  The one I learned from was also on Youtube, probably the same one you found.  I didn't like how the instructor failed to use some of the selection tools though, as it would have made the process much easier if he had just used a few tools differently, but everyone has their preferred workflow I guess.  I don't lay claim to the process or technique of this in any way, but just to be clear, the screengrabs here are my own, and the actual modeling of the object is indeed mine as well.  The technique, however, was discovered by someone else for sure.  :)

Regarding Google, I'm not sure if it's an intrusive thing, depending on the content that appears.  If you had searched Youtube, for instance, in the past about modeling something, it will remember that search and give you similar results in the sidebar.  Sometimes it becomes distracting, and I hate when it throws in the occasional EXPLICIT result.  Like if I'm searching for kitty kats, even with safe search on, and I get images of ... well, you know what I mean. ;)
