Kudos to the MIT faculty for choosing the right road forward.
That's what I was thinking too; and probably just function like an 18-wheeler where a tire can blow out and there's so much support that the load is still distributed adequately.
Basically, all this means is Google designs like Mack while everyone else designs like Chrysler...
I totally agree. Google does have a degree of hype, and infact if you compare their design to Yahoo and eBay, you may find many similarities.
A good amount of online bandwidth is consumed by google, I'd like to see an analysis of redundancy caused by google instead. Recently their search mechanism has gone haywire but noone notices.

Just you. I kept thinking about how I could use a car metaphor to describe how google...oh wait.
I kept thinking about derailing a car, before I realized I was on the wrong track.
if it moves, it's biology.
Or gravity.

I wonder if it has anything to do with Kundra's big push to turn over everything to Google.
Yes his office asked and received money for loads of Microsoft products that were never purchased. That is part of the problem.
They should have gone with someone with a cooler name. Like Padmasree Warrior her name kick's Wolf Blitzer's name any day of the week and she's better looking too.
In Sanskrit-derived hindi, Vivek means "wisdom". Obviously you're proposing we discard brains for brawn.
You're assuming the Obama administration has brains to discard.
At best, your assumption lacks supporting evidence.
You are assuming that my assumption lacks evidence. Let me be clear here: in Soviet Russia, evidence lacks assumption.
