Google Plans To Destroy Unindexed Information
linolium writes "Executives at Google, the rapidly growing online-search company that promises to 'organize the world's information,' announced Monday the latest step in their expansion effort: a far-reaching plan to destroy all the information it is unable to index. 'Book burning is just the beginning," said Google co-founder Larry Page. 'This fall, we'll unveil Google Sound, which will record and index all the noise on Earth. Is your baby sleeping soundly? Does your high-school sweetheart still talk about you? Google will have the answers.'" FYI; it's The Onion, so yes, it's a joke.
Alright, smartass, that's enough.
I love The Onion, and it is America's Finest News Source, but, uh, ya'll do realize they, um, aren't really reporting the news?
...I'm afraid somebody must point out the obvious -- this is a joke. The Onion is a comedy paper.
Most importantly, Don't Panic.
Procrastination -- because good things come to those who wait.
I thought everyone knew about the Onion.

See that foot icon?
This was it, the moment in history... Slashdot just jumped the shark. Shame.
I for one welcome our Google Overlords!
Freedom is fragile and must be protected. To sacrifice it, even as a temporary measure, is to betray it.
