Google into the mobile industry? Google acquires the Web-based calling service GRAND-Central. Is it going to be stepping stone for Google to the huge mobile industry, where Google's footprint is missing. May be sooner, we will see about the Google's phone too ... That will surely threaten all those out in the mobile industry. I feel that its time to find a common platform for all the Google applications to run from network on a browser(or something like that) rather than on an Operating System. Picasa/Gtalk etc... are some that are still OS dependent to run :) I would love to see an Operating system that runs from RAM and 1G or 2G of HD space, with an internet connection and all application by default saving the files to Google Server.

JOKE: Good one from my buddies mail ... At training program for the top management. A well-known motivational speaker gathering the entire crowd's attention, said, "The best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who wasn't my wife !" The crowd was shocked! He followed up by saying, "That woman was my mother!" The crowd burst into laughter and he gave his speech, which was well received. About a week later, one of the top managers who had the training decided to use that joke at his house. He tried to rehearse the joke in his head. It was a bit foggy to him. He said loudly, "The greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who was not my wife!" Naturally, his wife was shell shocked, murmuring.
