Realize that physical fitness and the ability to solve PDEs are not mutually exclusive.
There are those in this world that can manage to have both brains and the ability to compete in sports.
I was voted most athletic in my highschool and still play soccer every week for the last 15 years. Does this somehow lower my IQ? I also managed to ace my way though a math degree, a computer science degree and a finance degree. In my free time I dable in advanced mathematics and physics.
I do suffer from dyslexia so maybe their is something to the geek factor.
I do not think that Google is planning on building a browser either. If I were google I would build an office suite based on XUL or XAML that was compatible to word. Think about it how much would a company pay to not have to maintain updates on office applications. How much is it worth to have their employees to be able to logon and access all their files and applications from any computer aroun d the world.
This is no small task but even if they just built in groupware function into gmail they would have something that companies would drool over.
Just my 2 cents
What about people like me that have a running temp of around 97.0 degrees. I am suspecting that the range of temperatures that it would have to cover is greater than you think.
I did a science fair project on this back in 1989. I was in 7th grade. Back then they called them ELF's (Extremely Low Frequency Electromagnetic waves). If you want to see something cool, take a
florescent light bulb and walk under some high tension power lines. Just a not all electrical devices including computers emit these.

Companies are out for profit. It is not immoral or wrong for them to seek service and products at the lowest cost.

-In a related note to the parent post: How many Geeks are dyslexic?
I would be very interested in this. Maybe a slashdot poll. Seems like the right usergroup.

I think you missed the point. They do dress like the people the represent. They just don't represent the people you think.
