    Gooogle will by 2012 release a little app that will record everything you do on your PDa and sync it back to GOOGLE BRAIN SERVER.

    Your pda/mobile will constantly record all audio/video/health details of you and surrounding people. Nightly this will be dumped to the google mummy server, and it will then analyze everysingle human on the planet , and also give you personal advise/health stats reports, counceling, teach you what you need, and also coordinate this between all your IM buddies so everthing interesting they learned/knew/saw will be advised to you in summary form.

    Google will be your personal StarTrek Computer that will also keep everthing, so next time police want evidence they have it all.

    Google Matrix will know it all. It will control the human populace. Advise it, nurture it, grow it, and take care of it like its own little children (1s and 0s)

    Google will then systamtically know what each human is up to, where each person is heading and what each person is subconciously thinking. It will then be able to predict anything. It will be GOD.

    The all might GOOGLE OF DDMINATION.

    Google will baby sit your kids
    Google will teach you, update you in realtime as things are 'thought of'

    GOOGLE will turn the human race into BORG.

    GOOGLE BORG is born.

    GOOGLE will run civilizations, planets, star clusters. It will combine bouluf cluster 5 billion humans into accelerated human achievment, google is the architect. Google has been delivered electronically by god.

    GOOGLE is GOD himself, GOD is just a 1 and a 0. A ying and yang.

    GOOGLE will facilitate every human needed for every solution most efficiently and instantly. If a project requires the effort of the Manhatten project, it will combine 10 million minds into a week long burst session of minds, that would be equal to 10 years of 10000 people working hard manually.

    GOOGLE will create the best art in the world, by pooling the best talent globaly and magically together.

    GOOGLE MANAGER will replace every single mid/top level manager and all CEOs.

    If everything is TOTALY unstable and volatile, and there is ZERO energy, then its still possible.

    If intel wants to build a $2b fab where there is ZERO power and ZERO people , do this;

    A) buy the cheap land, within 100km of civilization.
    B) build your $100m powerplant (coal/gas/wind/solar combo), you dont need 4000 megawatts, so it would be smaller.
    C) build a little town/suburb for the 2000+ work force, mining industry does this, but make it designed by proper planners, ($200m for that). It can all be done at cost, no need for 40% markup housing. Just build combos of 2 story apartments and normal houses with yards or kit homes if your cheap, just give it variety. Nothing super flash, but nice.

    Sure theres an extra 10-15% cost in startup, but you can ongoingly pay the workers less because they get to live for free so a $100/week less is actually a $100 more per person. And you get taxed less.

    These days, multinationals have so much money they can build 5000+ people towns and give people a nice cushy nearly free lifestyle, and at the same time pay them much less, and everyone would be damn happy.

    But no one would do this, (maybe gatesy), coz its so commy in nature.

    I assume you are not a programmer right?

    JAVA by its nature, should be fastest at GUI's, (unless their gui libs are written in basic).

    eg. open window, draw 4 buttons, draw 8 checkboxes, draw 2 text boxes, draw listbox with 5 items.

    Now to set that up in C/C++ is trivial in a win resource and win32 or mfc. In Java, it should likewise be trivial for the libraries even with translation of lots of crap to native mode. We are in 2ghz+ cpus here, not P233mhz's PCs. If you window takes >100ms to draw, thats 300million instructions (very roughly) and if you cant do it in that, then WTF are you a programmer?

    What does java do ? PlotPixel() each button and option via a x/y framebuffer?

    Have you ever heard of 100FPS games written in JAVA? I dont think they can do 1million 3d point transformations per frame (10ms).

    If one 'call' takes X time and the translation takes 50% of that time, then your java app is gona blow compared to any C/C++.

    Id like to see a java vs C++ shootout, but give the java app a 3ghz pc, and give the C++ app a 300mhz pc. A good smart (long experienced) coder could whip javas ass even on a 1/10th speed CPU.
