Google Office Still in the Wings?

Rob writes "Ajax Office, a proposed project to create an open source, web-based suite of office applications, has fallen by the wayside. But the project's founder Paolo Massa is convinced that not only will there be successful open source projects in the space, but that it is only a matter of time before the likes of Google or Yahoo! launch a web-based office suite of their own - going up against Microsoft Office but in the online sphere. "If you think about it, it would mean having access to your office documents from any browser," he told Computer Business Review, outlining his view that a provider could enable the creation and storage of office documents on their web servers. "I think someone will do this within a year," he said."

And a Google car, a Googledog and I want to clone myself on Google; Google Self.

You can have all that. I want a wireless jack to Google in my brain so I can go on Jeopardy and beat Ken Jennings' record.
