A California man has been charged with extortion, after allegedly making demands for $100,000 from search giant Google.

[blockquote]The man, Michael Bradley, was so sure that the folks at Google would pay up, he even turned up at their offices for a meeting to sell his software. By then, federal law enforcement agents were already on the case and videotaped the alleged extortion attempt. [/blockquote]
