Viggen Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 wow, seems like a free broadband access in the states is not that far away... let's call it the GoogleNet -- massive enough to rival even the country's biggest Internet service providers. Business 2.0 has learned from telecom insiders that Google is already building such a network, though ostensibly for many reasons. For the past year, it has quietly been shopping for miles and miles of "dark," or unused, fiber-optic cable across the country from wholesalers such as New York Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fafnir Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Google is taking over everything. I already have a gmail account (It is so exclusive! I only have 40,000 invites left!) and they made a new Google Talk chat program which may be able to rival the big three soon. So sure, why not. Its going to turn into the Wal Mart of the internet in a few years anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlapse Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 If they do turn into the 'WalMart' of the internet, its because of excellence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Pilus Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 And I hope its Walmart before they turned into the scourge of small town America. There is a growing hate fest with Walmart, despite their market domination, and I hope that doesn't happen with Google (unless they do something to deserve it of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost_Warrior Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 GOOGLE!! Google is awesome. I love google! GO GOOGLE!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.Clodius Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Google certainly is awesome. But the idea of an internet dominated by a "faction" doen't appeal to me. The internet is a decentralized network. The internet as is is even more awesome than google. A faction that dominates will dictate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primus Pilus Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 That's simply the google bot checking the forums for new stuff to index. Its here quite often... pretty amazing that every little thing we type on this board is routinely scanned by Google within just a few hours.

Favonius Cornelius Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Googlebot is watching you. Googlebot wants you to be happy. Happiness is mandatory. Smile for Googlebot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursus Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 In a not-so-distant apocalyptic future, the evil artificial intelligence of google.net rules the ruins of the world. Humanity is trod beneath its mechanical heel. But then one day a leader arises to gather the shattered remnants of mankind and stage a valient resistance. Google sends a search bot back 40 years in time to find the leader's parents and erase them from history before he is even born. Endlessly the search bot roams the internet, trying to locate its targets... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
