Google's Next Steps

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hey-cool-site dept.

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."

    Except that google's products mostly work and do not have near the level of design problem and failures that recent apple products do.

    You have no way of knowing that it will have "none of the drawbacks".

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

    Dell doesn't try to have the same image of quality as apple does.

    Dell doesn't charge an extra percentage for it's
    reputition of quality.

    Dell doesn't sell mp3 players that have unreplacable batteries in them.

    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.

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio -- Radio Talk Show host Rush Limbaugh was found dead in his New York home last night. The coroner has not yet officially ruled it a suicide, but apparently that's what it's going to be ruled.

    I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will mourn his passing -- even if you didn't agree with him, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    They also all belong to a peculiar ethno-centric religion, sometimes known as Die Juden.

    The web is beginning to look like the rest of the media, all controlled by God's Chosen People. While we gentiles are forced to be their slaves.
