No Secret Plan at Google?
daltonlp writes "A number of smart folks have speculated that Google might leverage its computational resources to create some kind of massive online application delivery platform. Here's why they are probably wrong." One of more intelligent insights into Google, and it's pleasantly devoid of theories of Google taking over the world.

Damn they have infiltrated Slashdot now. Google I am on to you.
In anticipation of the day when Google does become evil and takes over the world and we all wish that we had a time machine so that we could go back to 2005 and stop Google while we still had the chance, I've been doing some searching for plans to build such a contraption.
It seems those Google bastards have anticipated even this!
I'm a big tall mofo.
Damn, I think we're getting re-directs from Googledot.org. Yikes.
I am defenseless. Use your button. Mod me down with all of your hatred.
...pleasantly devoid of theories of Google taking over the world.
Theories? Oh, we're well past that...
I Want To Believe
Looks like they've even taken over your username, FooGoo! ;)
Why would they make their own?
We already know that they're Linux experts over there, and Google is a household name. Think about this in terms of a WebTV mentality.
"You use Linux!?"
"No, it's GoogleOS. WTF is Linux?"
END OF LINE.
According to one of the comments on that blog, which I read before it finally crumbled under the weight of slashdot, commenter 'Rick' claims that Google Deskbar uses Google's own fab, internally written browser.
This internally written browser is apparently 'fast and incredibly compatible'.
Sounds great! Problem is, the browser component in Google Deskbar == Internet Explorer.
I chuckled.
-1, Obvious, had to be said
In that case, Google must have already pwned us.
Yeah, they're much like one of those nice girls in high school. They're friendly, and mean to do good, but you end up obsessing over them 'cause they're so blatantly hot. They take over your mind with their curves intelligence and self-confidence...and of course that keeps a man from ever getting some real (for lack of a better term) knowledge.
Google is the hot, slimmed-down, super-smart chick of the Internet; if it was a girl, it'd be that rare case of someone who wouldn't spoon-feed you with gossip unless you want her to, would be there for you the moment you need her, would help you with research, and would even get the mail for you. She'd even let you see others. Sounds like a supermodel to me.
You can hold down the "B" button for continuous firing.
Yes. The next Roland Piquepaille, that's me! Self-promotion is awesome. Despite what your parents may have told you, it does not lead to blindness or hairy palms.
