No Secret Plan at Google?

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the what's-he-building-in-there dept.

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.

    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!

  8. Google's browser! by hedge_death_shootout · · Score: 4, Funny

    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.
