Maybe our children's brains will function more like this if they grow up with it, and our current way of thinking will become obsolete. That seems to be the way things go. Technologies shape the way we take in and process information, and this is a huge step forward, and this technology will be no different. I think of Google Wave as stream of conscious communication over the internet between groups of people. It seems like the next logical step in mass communication.

While I agree that the rest of Wisconsin is quite nice and beautiful, the city of Milwaukee is actually very depressing. Right now a lot of people around here are having a difficult time finding a decent job, the public school system needs drastic restructuring and updating, and more than 26% of the people live below the poverty line. It's also highly segregated between the black and white and mexican communities. Madison, WI is a very nice college town with a lot to offer, and the northern area of WI has a lot of beautiful and clean lakes and forests. If you're considering moving to Milwaukee, WI, I would think again and consider Chicago, IL.

You mean there are two!?!?

At first I thought "How To Create More Jobs" meant they were cloning Steve Jobs. Well... then again... maybe they are...

I just don't think that because a company becomes big and has a huge advantage in a particular market that it inherently becomes "evil" like so many people like to think. All I'm saying is that big does not equal bad. A company can be big and have huge control over a particular market and still have good motives and still produce quality products and still greatly improve the services / products that they offer. I'm not saying that everything Google does is virtuous, I just don't think they have some secret evil scheme to take over the world like so many people like to claim / assume.

Google has grown rapidly over the last 10 years, and they are a big company, but they are not Microsoft. The culture at Google is not rotten like it is at Microsoft. Google does produce low quality software like they do at Microsoft. Google is still innovative in many ways that MS is not. Google is making steady progress in a way that MS has not. And overall, Google is not run by a bunch of idiots like MS is.

Also the saying "Stick with Linux and stay away from Google" has no meaning because Google's products are not dependent on any desktop OS; they are internet based. "Stick with Linux and avoid Microsoft" would make more sense, but it would also be way off topic.

I hate to see people compare Apple or Google to Microsoft because it is a false comparison. Just because a company has grown very large very quickly doesn't mean that it is a Microsoft. That's just an ignorant thing to say.
