    • Well then we will be stuck with Google. Of the two the folks at Redmond arent bothering us if we just dont use their stuff. But Google will be running the net.

    • Well, history has a way of repeating itself, no? In other words, Microsoft is about to be overshadowed by Google, and then the US DoJ will sue them for monopolistic business practises, right? Right now there are a couple of highschool students hacking away at the next big thing and by the time they graduate from university, they will have created the foundation for Google’s nemesis.

    • Actually I’d rather Google didn’t kill of Microsoft, thanks all the same. Whilst I have no doubt the Google know their “stuff” when it comes to internet specific apps, they just don’t have the know how of hardware support to get us through the next few years. Microsoft does.

      And no, I can’t believe I just said that either.

    • I am not sure that MS is a good example of hardware support. The cosy hardware platform / MS duopoly is another mess in its own right. I wish we could just buy *very good computers*. The OS should be a different thing entirely.

    • Well . . .

      Google’s stated goal is the categorizing of all the information in the world.

      Paraphrased.

      There is a wide berth.

      The internet is fun, sure.
      But, according to it’s inventor,
      <smirk>Al Gore</smirk>
      this information is only on
      the super highway, and
      there are many, many other roads. . .

      What abhout the information transmitted
      on cell phones?
      in Medical Records?
      through Voting?

      We have seen phreakers have phun with phones.
      Medical records are sacrosanct - are they really private information?
      Voting is a privledge and a right now sought to be optimized through electronics.

      Google seems to forgotten this aspect of information:
      Self-Knowledge.

      I give them poor marks.

      Okay.
