Google Inc. confirmed Wednesday that it will build up to 1 million square feet of offices at NASA Ames Research Center and collaborate with the space agency on research surrounding topics such as supercomputing that could benefit everything from moon launches to online searches.
I liked Google as a search company, but I do not like how pretentious the company has become since its IPO. Google keeps dropping little hints here and there implying that they have plans to revolutionise everything. They talk about creating the world's largest free online library, they hint at building a completely free nationwide highspeed wireless network, they say they are going to make 3D scans of large cities all across America, people are all worked up about a non-existant Google OS, and now they are trying to secure themselves into the future of spaceflight.
In reality Google is only good at two things: finding search results and collecting information about us to put little ads everywhere. Eventually Microsoft will muscle Google out of the search business and Google will have nothing but a bunch of unsucessful, overly-ambitious projects. I dunno about the rest of you but I look forward to Google's demise.
