Google's Next Steps
danimlp writes "An article at SearchEngineWatch states that Google and Yahoo have become as almost parts of the operating system, a 'layer' above Linux, Windows or Mac OS. Another article at Kottke.org says that Google is building a a huge computer with a custom operating system that everyone on earth can have an account on. Some people predicts that, after Gmail, Google could start a new instant message service or even its own electronic currency."

Well, know GMail won't have at least one of the drawback's of HotMail -- it won't be owned by MicroSoft.

Dell has not had a string of logic board and lcd failures on their products like apple has.
Please note, that I can not stand dell due to their corp policies and I am in no way a dell fan, but facts are facts and worshiping apple as some a diety doesn't change the facts.
