They are into everything. I’m worried that they might disrupt a Ouija board next and disrupt the space time continuum sending millions of lost souls along with every search.

It will be like the end of the Haunted Mansion ride at Disney World where the ghosts show up in your car at the end of the ride except with Google they will show up in your webcam. Look out iJustine!

To make sure there is a consumer friendly Linux installation on cheap computers that is usable by the mass market and which includes the optimal integration of all the Google Apps and integrates well all Linux apps.

So that we all can buy a $200 Google Phone, $100 Google set-top-box and $200 Google PC, none of which would be manufactured by Google, but all of which run Google Apps and are supported by Google and optimized by them.

It's the companies falling behind...old media...that are most resistant to the change. They keep their old , antiquated ideas polished and in shiny wrappers, and are really keeping the communications game at a stand still. It will take a new company , with fresh ideas , to help things along. Even if it never becomes number one, resistance to change has already put the final nail in the coffin.</p> Yes, Google has already proven that they are going to lead us all to a better , more usefull , technological future.
