Thanks for sharing Alex. Does this make anybody else nervous? I'm sure their intentions are pure now (or started out pure at least); but, absolute power corrupts. What happens down the road when Google controls everything? I don't know if like having all my electronic eggs in the Google basket (thus I have resisted total reliance on their apps). Notice how they ask if you are a "good Google citizen" in the article? Creepy. Seems like a vast monopoly to me, one to make MS seem like child's play. Maybe I'm being paranoid...but, maybe not.
