I am both scared of and excited about Google. They are dominating and making money and then putting that money into research that will change our lives forever. I was telling people about my idea for the i-glasses – basically glasses with a heads up display. I have no funding to create this but I know it is inevitable. Google just came out with some HUD glasses – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c6W4CCU9M4 . Thats pretty awesome and yes I do want them to track what I do sometimes. That way they can teach my robot how to go to the store and buy me some groceries.

If Google cease to exist then Yahoo and Bing will be too happy because all users of Google will move to them.

[...] I first noticed the problem while at work, trying to Google something. Google was down, so I used begrudgingly Yahoo!. Afterward, I noticed the website that I went to was also being extremely slow. I figured it was just our terrible T1 connection, but then used my Firebug to inspect the website and see what the problem was. It turned out that the problem was loading the analytics script from Google. Right about that time, I began to get worried. I tried a few trace routes and pings to Google and they all returned a bit dodgy. I then tried to ping other websites such as apple.com and microsoft.com and they too were unreachable. It was about this time that I began to wonder what would happen if Google ceased to exist. [...]
