I still don't know correct fix for Steam repository, but if anyone else reading this can open a terminal and post back output from this command, we'll know the answer:
Below I'll describe how to fix Google repos and how to temporarily get rid of the error for Steam until someone reports back with above readout.
Open Synaptic Package Manager by going to Menu -> System -> Install/Remove Programs. Then in Synaptic window, go to Settings -> Repositories -> Other Software (tab). You'll see a listing similar to this:
To fix both Google repos, highlight one, click "Edit" button, then change the word "trusty" to "stable". Highlight other Google one and do same thing.
For Steam, just uncheck the box next to each of those and that will disable the repository and the system won't try looking it up when checking for updates. When someone posts back with correct URL for that repo, you can fix it in the same manner as you did for Google.
