Is VoIP Google's Next Frontier?
WindBourne writes "Apparently, Google is looking to some degree at VoIP. Of course, the question is whether they will support such items as Asterisk and FreeWorld or will they simply buy another company and tinker from that end."
I'm feeling lucky, connect me to a random phone number...
Google looking into supplying guns
Any sign that they may be developing Duke Nuke 'em Forever?
Unfortunately, I am not Wil Wheaton
Maybe we should start stories about what Google might NOT be looking to do?

Now it'll take four to eight weeks for my phone number to appear in the directory.

in the long run, we're all dead anyway.
Maybe Google have found a way to search phone conversations. Maybe even in real time. So I can find an interesting conversation going on and just drop in.
And of course they will tie it to their map service. And no more dialling wrong numbers with their "did you mean" functionality. And maybe they could do a javascript "suggest topic" for those dull conversations ?

Heh, imagine being able to Google every phone call ever. Kind of an open source society.
The Slashdot Paradox: "100% Overrated"
Apparently, Google may begin manufacturing Mouse pads. According to an anonymous source, Google submitted an order for 150 pads. "Why would Google require so many mouse pads at once? Obviously they wish to study and analyze these pads so they can begin manufacturing themselves".
Another source said that some Google employees have had medical X-Rays as part of their health care screening. No word yet on when Google will begin manufacturing their own X-Ray equipment, but giving the combination of ivy-league graduates, the company-sponsored free-time employees are allowed, and the fact that they run a successful search engine, it is obviously only a matter of time. Look out General Electric!

Google launches Google Monitor !
;) Or it seems I share something with the Larry/Sergey from the future :p)
Google Executives introduced today the latest of Google services, based on Google VoIP.
Google Monitor will record every VoIP conversation Google and its partners route, and will allow you to search for vocal patterns to match a particular conversation you had you would like to listen again.
Sadly, the day turned awkward when it was reported on Slashdot, the (in)famous technologist blog, that searching for "Google and dominance of the world, we 0wn j00 n00b haha and BillG sux dickz" (sic!) in the Google Monitor Search Engine and clicking the "I'm lucking" button directed to a private conversation Larry Page and Sergey Brin had about this very service.
"We were simply high, man", declared the Google founders when we asked them for further explanations.
Well, it definitely explains many moves the company from Montain View had these last few years.

Google Pony (beta):
By combining advanced cloning, genetic engineering and nanotechnology, Google will provide a pony, free, to every boy or girl in the world that wants one. The ponies are photosynthetic, so they require no food, and they are infused with nanobots that recycle their own waste, so there's really no reason your parents can't let you have one.
WARNING: there is a trojan on your
You sure? I think it's just that google has too many vowels for your standard Czech to feel comfortable with.
Well, there's Google, egg, sausage and Google. That's not got much Google in it.
Sources tell me that Google will be unvieling a PDA/GPS/Cell Phone/Newspaper/Shopping Cart that will combine it's email, mapping, VoIP, news, and pricing services. It's a secret! Ssssssh! So I'm told it will also integrate seemlessly with iPods and most pants. In addition they'll be translating their page into several new languages including Ancient Canadian Hieroglyphics, Brazilian Cuneiform, and American Kanji (Simplified). Look, we've got to stop jumping everytime they make a twitch. I'm pretty sure most new services that Google has unveiled have not recieved any coerage here until they were in at least beta stage. I don't recall hearing anything about Google Maps until it was made publicly availible. Maybe I was wasn't plugged in enough, but I hadn't heard about gmail till their "April Fools'" announcement either. Seriously people, cool out... you're turning into Apple rumor people (and I'm a Mac user!).
Gee, Larry, what are we gonna do tonight?
The same thing we do every night, Sergey. Try to take over the world!
He'll clearly identify himself as a sponsered part of your conversation, though. No confusing him with a real, unbiased friend.
