Google Moves From Search To Inventor

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the leaping-the-gap dept.

TubHarsh writes "The New York Times reports that Google continues to expand its scope from search engine to inventor. Google assembles the majority of the hardware it uses and deploys at such a large scale, that Google may be 'the world's fourth-largest maker of computer servers, after Dell, Hewlett-Packard and I.B.M.'. The article also states that Google may be entering the chip design market with new employees who were ex-Alpha Chip engineers."

    Friends, remember that Google is the America hating empire.

    This new wave of innovation probably uses Linux (created by a European communist) with a sordid history. No doubt this is part of an insiduous plot to destroy the valuable patents of The Sco Group.

    Their so-called "inventions" have already led to a huge upturn in hacking, eponymously named "Google Hacking". All true patriots must support tougher sentences for such evil terrorists.
