<p>A small rant: No, this is not yet another post saying that <a href="http://www.tuzworld.com/2007/10/09/goolge-just-acquired-jaiku/">Google just bought Jaiku</a> and asking why haven&#8217;t they bought <a href="http://twitter.com">Twitter</a>. I&#8217;ve seen hundreds of posts like this in the last day and only one or two really commented it. Maybe I should refilter my subscription list.</p>

<p>Now to the point: Google is taking over our world step by step. First searching, then advertising, e-mail and now news-reading and who knows what <a href="http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/10/09/google-and-multiverse-to-announce-virtual-worlds-built-on-google/">can be next</a>?<br />
Today while reading my feeds, I saw <a href="http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2007/10/google-online-desktop.html">this mockup</a> that really impressed me:</p>

<p>This is <a href="http://alcidesfonseca.com/blog/114">what I have requested</a>! Just a simple OS (yes, Linux based will be O.K.) not for mobile (and why not too?), but for desktop where it could integrate all it&#8217;s services. Is it hard to do? Well <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/hotStocksNews/idUSWEN153820071008">Google stocks crossed $600</a> so money is not their problem. They have 13,786 full-time employees and a lot of them are genius. So why are they not launching fantastic applications? I mean, they do, but that&#8217;s not as much as I would expect from some big company like them. Things are not that hard, there are user demands for new stuff, so why is Google waiting for?</p>

<p>Any thoughts on this?</p>
