Added an image to see if I could edit it out or see the embed code so I could manually insert it into a different post. Normally images can't later be edited into comments so..... yeah. Sorry.

I think taking the attitude that the internet will evolve as it will is great. They can provide the tools that are in demand today and let Future Google worry about the future.

Personally I don't see a need for cloud computing since I use a remote desktop connection and have access to all my apps and data from outside the home.
I also prefer to have all my data on my own hard disks.
(I don't use online email for anything serious, I don't use online photo or data sharing services, I don't social networks.)
I also prefer to minimize the ability of big business to monitor my habits (yes I know I can't eliminate data mining about me completely).
By moving fully to cloud computing you are laying your entire method of working, socializing, buying and communicating bare.
You are basically increasing the ability of corporations to analyse you even more than with "traditional" computing, because you are basically uploading just about everything to their servers.
So while cloud computing may have it's benefits, I think it should not be made to kill traditional computing.

What they have right now is very rough and basic - essentially just a Chrome browser for Linux - but I can see what they want to do and it's very promising.

Those shoes are ugly as crap. I've never heard of them before just now, and what I've found says that they're awesome, but they're still really ugly...

"They definitely make you look like a freak. However, I suspect the sting of scorn and ridicule is dampened a bit by the fact that the man has billions and billions of dollars. In my case, people just laugh at me when I run and I cry. The sweat hides the tears."

On the one hand you get into a whole argument about it being "their" product which I won't get into. On the other hand when you look at the high ups in the phone companies they're sporting unreleased tech. Like when HTC's CEO got his touch pro2 swiped or how Jobs was running around with an iPhone before anyone else or when VZW first announced that android was coming and people noticed he was actually carrying the unreleased (and still unannounced at the time) droid.
With all of the upcoming android phones and the persistent and recurring rumors of a true google phone its interesting just because its so not interesting.

Really its not a google top secret thing. Its a "its good to be the king" thing. If one of the perks of being President of Google is that you get to play with hot new handsets it is odd to have a consumer piece of tech. I'm sure he'd be smart enough not to be checking his e-mail on it but even if he did what would really happen?
The blogs would say "Google President Seen Playing With Unidentified Device" then we'd all argue if it was the "real google phone", one of HTC's upcoming handsets like the dragon or what not, or if it was something we haven't seen at all yet. Google's "secrecy" would be intact and there would be a few more Google hits over a product that we've already heard about anyways.
