Google says "fuck that, we're taking over!" and announces Google Secure Access. Should go nicely with their giant WiFi network (kudos, Howard). I would love to know where all this is going.

If you choose to use Google Secure Access, your internet traffic will be encrypted and sent through Google's servers to the Internet. The data that is received will then be encrypted and sent back through our servers to your computer. Your privacy is important to us, we strongly encourage you to read our Privacy Policy to be fully informed about how your privacy is protected.

Ok, so Google is cuter than SkyNet but it won't be long until sentience kicks in and the Linux server cluster decides that humanity isn't worth much. Three hours later an army of android Sergey Brin and Larry Page clones marches out of the Googleplex (all communicating through a giant WiFi network and some Jabber-based talk application) and starts taking over the SF bay area. 16 hours later, the entire west-coast is under Google's control. Using its extensive map system makes the tactical coordination simple, they know where everything is. Its news & blog indexing systems keep all Brin and Page androids up to date with military and police movements making it easy to preemptively attack all major resistance forces. 32 hours later the entire American sub-continent is under Google's control. After that it gets a little fuzzy as the androids self replicate using computer parts from millions PCs  hijacked through the Google Toolbar. 72 hours later the entire human race is enslaved and indexed. You've been warned.
