StoutFiles sounds like we agree. Your right Apple seems to be happy with being a niche. They have no lofty goals to become the next MS. They have had several opportunities and just passed them up. Google will become the next MS. They are setting themselves up to own the Internet. In the next few generations of Internet speed Google will be set up to dominate. I predict that Google will dwarf MS, Pre break up AT&T, and US Oil.

What scares me is what will happen when we have to split up Google. The Gov will decide that Google has too much power and take it away from them. Even if Google is being perfectly 'not evil" right now that does not mean they won't be in the future. What happens when the founders are dead and it is just one huge corp.

It is hard for most people to see what google is doing right now because current technology won't let them go as far as they could. There will be a time probably not for another 20 or 30 years when bandwidth will be unlimited. This will change how we live. It will be a huge paradigm shift and Google is working very hard to be set up to control just about everything. They are not set up to do this yet but by the time it gets here they will be ready.
