POPS Google's Power Play
Google’s higher calling comes directly from co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, both ardent environmentalists. But it’s made real by the same moxie that has driven Google to create digital editions of 7 million books, with scant concern for copyright issues, and to amass satellite images of almost all of the earth’s nooks and crannies. “We only hire people who really, genuinely believe that big change is possible and the right thing to do,” says Erik Teetzel, a 34-year-old Google engineer who heads a team of researchers looking for ways to produce cheap renewable energy. Still, now doesn’t seem like an ideal time for Google to be making such an ambitious move. Oil prices are down, eradicating much of the demand for alternatives to fossil fuels. A global economic downturn means many companies now consider green technology a luxury they can’t afford. Google has never been very successful at diversifying its business; 97 percent of its revenue still comes from online ads.

POPSWhat a big company! What a big endorsement! Guess I am behind the times. I had no idea that Eric Schmidt endorsed Obama. Guess some big companies along with a great military man like Colonel Powell doesn't think Obama is a socialist. Hmmm These are men who love their country and really know how to use their whole brain power. Perhaps we should pay attention.

POPSGoogle Boss Supports Obama!
There were a few creeps here on this forum, Republican smear campaign trolls, who had not one real issues to discuss but just full of insults, rudeness, false smears, hot-air empty issues, etc. But one of these wannabe thugs even tried to make intimidation (like Republicans often do to voters in poor and minority districts) -- saying he was "making a list," he was going to find out where all these "commie" Obama supporters lived; and they were going to "be sorry." But now, I thought, wow! The Google boss is on Obama's side. He could easily set going some sort of spider or bot seach and actually come up with a real list of these empty-headed, non-issue, smear campaign airheads. Maybe they could be blocked from using Google? That would be could. Maybe there license to use the whole Internet could be revoked. Maybe they could be forced to reread all their posts during the upcoming years of the Obama presidency? Oh well...alas... I guess not. That would be undemocratic.

POPSGoogle Browser Coming Your Way Soon? I think the most interesting think to note out of this whole article is the fact that Google has regestered the domain name gbrowser.com. While they may just be covering all of their bases I think that this bodes well for a future release of their own browser. I am sure that some of you will see this as another indication that Google is taking over the world, and while that may be true, I am not quite convinced that Google is as evil as some are making them out to be. Or maybe they are taking over Mwahahahah :)

POPSGoogle Wants $100 billion -- In Revenue This is an unbelievably ambitious goal, and would make Google the biggest company in the world. But whether or not it's possible, it's certainly the kind of talk that drives the company's share price higher...hence Blodget's $2000/share talk.

POPSGoogle to unveil PowerPoint Competitor Google continues to add to it's online office suite. For serious spreadsheet work, google spreadsheets and even OpenOffice.org still don't hold a candle to Excel, but for the other 95% of us, they're more than adequate. I have a feeling that google's presentation app will be more than most of us need, especially with the added bonus that the presentations already live online. I just hope there's an offline saving component for those times when you're presenting without wifi.
