Well, what could they do? Google is not making enough money :P

I think in 10 years we'll all be buying ad-supported Google PCs for free and they'll have a little window that you cant get rid of - that will show you ads. And probably have eye tracking that will blank the monitor every hour if you dont look at the ad.

Chrome has already turned into a keylogger than can also browse the internet. I remember watching a really old screensavers episode with Patrick Norton discussing how cookies were evil and how websites voilated user privacy by saving their IP addresses !. Hell.. Netscape was sued 13 years ago just because they captured what links you clicked.

A computer in 10 years, by Google, that can black out your screen. Google Glass?


What about a google helmet? You cant look away or mute when they show you ads :P
