HellBender Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 An article at SearchEngineWatch states that Google and Yahoo have become as almost parts of the operating system, a 'layer' above Linux, Windows or Mac OS. Another article at Kottke.org says that Google is building a huge computer with a custom operating system that everyone on earth can have an account on. Some people predicts that, after Gmail, Google could start a new instant message service or even its own electronic currency.

ZTrang Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Ah, Google, the corporation every .com startup wishes they could have turned into. Eventually, there will be as strong an anti-Google following as there is an anti-Microsoft following, mark my words ("Yahoo search engine is SO much more stable than Google! And you can compile the search engine yourself...") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
