Google and Decentralised Computing

Google recently bought Writley and according to sabotaged documents Google has plans to launch an online drive with unlimited space for storage called GDrive. They launched Google Desktop earlier which will help you keep your local files organised and synchronise them with GDrive automatically. This means you never have to upload files. They teamed up with Sun to give us a better Open Office. So when you are at your computer, you use Open Office and Writley when you are on the move and all the files are kept in sync using Desktop. Awesome!!!

Google changed the way we email with the launch of Gmail. Remember those days of deleting emails to make room in your inbox for fresh emails. Now they are changing the way we compute. Devices with no hard drives and WiFi can be used around WiFi enabled cities like Philadelphia and San Francisco. Companies like Fon, sponsored by Google too, are popping up to get us more WiFi hotspots.

Privacy would be my primary concern here. If they are planning to make money by serving relevant ads based on my data in their servers that would be scary!! IMHO I haven't seen any solid technology from google other than their killer search algorithms. Are all those highly paid PhDs just working on JavaScript stuff nowdays? I really look forward to seeing something from Google as paradigm shifting as their search.
