    Apple and Intel. The new company will be called Apoogtel, or Ingoople, or Super Google.

    Slashdot posts so many Google articles anyway, might as well drop the act and go all the way.

    Skype.

    I think VoIP is about to hit a tipping point and Google can cash in on it quick by acquiring Skype. Get rid of the stupid name, bring on some Google quality branding and user experience and people will be bidding on eBay for accounts just like Okurit and gMail. The Google brand and marketing power can bring Skype the thing that any network needs to succeed- users.

    It would be a very inexpensive acquisition for Google and it would add a sort of voice infastructure into the entire Google range of products.
