If you're not excited about Google Chrome OS and Wave then I'd highly doubt you'd be excited by anything in the tech world.

Nice comparison though, might convince some stupid people into thinking that you actually have an argument by equating my interest in Google Chrome OS with my idealism in the face of traditional publishing. Interest in Google Chrome OS != advocation of pure capitalism.

Better luck next time
I was joking about everything except Google's motives. They are dangerous, with the thoroughness with which they analyze and store everything about each of us forever. And they are going much too far with Street View. Yes, that may be the wave of the future. I did not think that you stand for advocacy of pure capitalism, that is exactly why I was surprised that you were excited about the company that most represents unbridled capitalism in our time. Seems so much at odds with your previous comments. Google chrome was just announced and I haven't seen it, so I have no comment on it. Google's browser and Android leave me rather unimpressed. Obviously my attempt at a humorous presentation got lost somewhere. Well, I am no writer, and English isn't my first language. So please, lighten up!
