I'm glad to see that Google is going beyond their "Don't be evil" motto to "Be good". I applaud their apparent sense of social responsibility.
I believe that much good can be achieved by large corporations who are willing to contribute to making the world a better place - whether it be through science for science's sake (e.g. Bell labs), welfare, world aid or whatever. I will be interested to see how this translates into a "for-profit" environment... presumably their profit margin expectations will not be as high as they might otherwise be?
Not if it were combined with a method for periodically re-syncing... then you would still get the best of wiki (regular updates as they happen) but have it available offline also.

For the record
Skippy = Kangaroo from Australian TV show of the same name
Flipper = Dolphin from Australian TV show of the same name

Somehow I don't think that red parachutes will contribute to "carry out stealth missions" (from TFA)
Well, I, for one, welcome our clickable overlords...
I would have that once was enough, and that it wouldn't take 6 hours... oh, hang on, you said prostration...
