Google to Create a Private Internet Alternative?

dbucowboy writes "Times Online UK reports that Google is working on a project to create its own global internet protocol network, a private alternative to the internet controlled by the search giant, according to sources who are in commercial negotiation with the company. Should Google successfully launch an alternative internet, it is theoretically possible for them to block out competitor websites and only allow users to access websites that have paid Google to be shown to their users." We discussed this topic during summer last year.

Credible,

Sources report Google is starting it's own religion that will effectively replace all of the other religions in the world. Thus saving the world from itself.

And while they are at it reports are that each new coco-crisp cereal grain will contain a Google branded RFID device which will bring immediate live streaming video to the small intestines of those who eat it.

Google is also reported to be setting up several small sovereign nations, strategically placed near backbones around the world. Google will provide its own infrastructure, including custom and open-source electricity distribution, custom wall sockets, and custom rules of the road for drivers.

Google Cube Collective

However, industry insiders fear that the development of a network of Google Cubes powered over a Google-owned internet network will greatly increase the power that Google wields...

You mean a network of Cubes like this? [stguardian.to]

Google making Google Norris/Diesel hybrid

[Asmor]

Credible sources report that Google is currently constructing a prototype Chuck Norris/Vin Diesel hybrid. The hybrid would be almost as powerful as Google itself.

"Evil"

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Re:This is getting silly
