Everyone loves Google, right now. They have convinced us they are not evil, and they have a pile of cash, that rivels most large companies, to move forward with their agenda. As of last count (by Cringely) they had 64 data centers compared to the 1 they had 1 year ago, some of which are in bunkers. They are estimating 200 data centers in 2 years, this provided a massive infrastructure and distributed computer system that is connected to many parts of the world with access to all our public info as well as our private email. With all the dark fiber Google has been buying up they will be pulling a Walmart on small isp's making it increasingly unprofitable for them to operate. In the end I wager we will end up with google running the Web 2.0. Google and NASA are also building a complex together for massive data processing and R&D into making computers better at what they do and better at finding useful data from junk.

So with worlds most massive clustered system finding relationships in human interactions and having the worlds data at it's finger tips I can only assume it will become self aware and try to take over (for our own good of course.)
