About 3 years ago, after they acquired grand central, My dad and I lied down under the stars and took in the expanse of the universe. Under light which had traveled millions of years to reach us, I told him, "Dad, Google has started to buy up dark fiber." "What does that mean?" "They are picking up as much infrastructure as they can. They would need that kind of infrastructure unless they were planning something big. They're gonna change things, Dad. Google is the worlds most powerful search engine, the best map site, the best email provider, and they just bought grand central. It won't be right away, but I'm telling you, Google is fixing to become an ISP. That's how they're going to do it. That's how Google...is going to take over the world."
Frankly, the lack of an SMS number to compete with Twitter's 40404 and Facebook's FBOOK makes Buzz entirely useless to me. I've set it up to forward my tweets, but I'll probably never really bother with its "true" features.
SMS linking to Twitter is completely pointless if you have a smartphone, no? The only possible use I can see would be if you needed tweets, but were somewhere with phone access but no web access.
I just want to have a friend shambling along with me! Is that too much to ask for?
Friends like to have you shambling along next to them as a zombie. True friends shoot your shambling corpse in the head.
Random - I've had this discussion with my girlfriend, and we have a mutual agreement - if we encounter the other in the unlikely event one of us has been turned into a shambling horror, then we agree we will shoot the other in the head. Which is unusual, because most people I've dated, it usually takes about this long before they usually don't feel so much like they want to wait till I'm all zombified and gross to do so.
I'm excited about the potential of having 1gbps internet speeds. The city of Austin is in the process of making their proposal to Google to be one of the select cities.
So the Internet (meaning like 10 guys on Reddit) is losing its collective shit over the lack of privacy in Google Buzz. I'm hard pressed to give a shit because Google Buzz doesn't broadcast anything until you ask it to, and you can't even post if you haven't created a public profile. The other half of people is just whining because they don't like having Buzz right under their Gmail inbox.

I've realized, in this world, there are two thing's I am absolutely sure about:
1.Zombies will someday rise.
2. Google will take over the world.
1. Become a mindless user of Google
2. Become a mindless zombie.
Summary: When the zombie apocalypse comes, Google will "save" us.

Google to buy Motorola Mobility.
In other words, The Big G is going to be making it's own hardware.
Google has shown what they're doing with their Motorola technology.
They've made a machine that pours beer for you.
