"Google is building 180 satellites to spread internet access worldwide"
How Will We Sustain a More Populated Planet?
Google's plans for satellite-based internet access just got a little more concrete. The Wall Street Journal hears that the search firm is preparing to build 180 "small, high capacity" satellites (not pictured here) that will go into low orbit and provide internet connections to underserved areas.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/po…In May 2012, the law school at George Mason University hosted a forum billed as a “vibrant discussion” about Internet search competition. Many of the major players in the field were there — regulators from the Federal Trade Commission, federal and state prosecutors, top congressional staffers.
What the guests had not been told was that the day-long academic conference was in large part the work of Google, which maneuvered behind the scenes with GMU’s Law & Economics Center to put on the event. At the time, the company was under FTC investigation over concerns about the dominance of its famed search engine, a case that threatened Google’s core business.

Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you.” So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days' journey in breadth. Jonah began to go into the city, going a day's journey. And he called out, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!” And the people of Nineveh believed God. They called for a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.

Google wants the world, the universe, and they are plotting a course to dominate the future - data control (can you imagine the "privacy" concerns if they started paying people to walk around all day with Glass on, just recording video, to be analyzed and categorized? It'll happen, just like maps). They'll control cars, forget silly blue tooth connected screens, they control the entire car!
There will be an era of mega corporations coming soon. That article detritus posted (http://www.rollingstone.com/pol... is apt, and scary.
Forget Apple, they can make fashion, rake in cash, but have no real power (maybe there's a plan, Jobs certainly leveraged his will by killing Flash, small in the scheme of things, but still felt by many...and the cash Apple keeps by controlling the Apps is not insubstantial). Fashion is fickle, they'll hold on and keep raking in for a while, but not really be more than a (mega) fashion company.
Facebook looks to have more obvious goals than Google, but both want the world, forget money.
