hsuwh writes "Google has hired Internet pioneer Vint Cerf away from MCI as its "Chief Internet Evangelist". "He is one of the most important people alive today," said [Google CEO Eric] Schmidt, who has been friends with Cerf for more than 20 years. "Vint has put his heart and soul into making the Internet happen. I know he is going to jump right in here and start shoveling out new ideas for Google.""

    I know he is going to jump right in here and start shoveling out new ideas for Google.

    Something about Google and shoveling just goes together so right given the massive piles of steaming **** poured out on the net in glowing praise of them when they are headed towards being every bit the behemoth IBM was and Microsoft is.

    Also, that shovelling might turn to bailing if Google stumbles and I don't doubt they will.
