Swapneel says:

§ Hrishikesh | Whoa! says:

§ Hrishikesh says:
and there's more
§ Hrishikesh says:
Google is buying fibre
§ Hrishikesh says:
loads of it
§ Hrishikesh says:
maybe they are making an alternate internet
§ Hrishikesh says:
one with better standards
Swapneel says:
huh
Swapneel says:
waddya mean an alt internet?
§ Hrishikesh says:
a network independent of the current internet
Swapneel says:
and...
§ Hrishikesh says:
to allow for extremely insane speeds
Swapneel says:
they wanna replace the current standards?
§ Hrishikesh says:
mostly for ur multimedia apps
Swapneel says:
very ambitious...doubtful whether itll succeed
Swapneel says:
hope it does
§ Hrishikesh says:
live vid streams n stuff
§ Hrishikesh says:
it'll prolly b free too
Swapneel says:
hmmm
Swapneel says:
interesting....
Swapneel says:
but i guess itll take easily 5-10 years at minimum, for it to become common like wat we have internet today
Swapneel says:
did u hear bout the google-sun alliance?
§ Hrishikesh says:
think so, u mite as well remind
Swapneel says:
lets c how MS responds
Swapneel says:
basically, they're gonna promote each other...
Swapneel says:
google will promote openoffice....ppl who dload jdk, will have an option of dloadin google deskbar, etc
§ Hrishikesh says:
I don't really like SUN
Swapneel says:
“Initially, the agreement will involve Sun giving those downloading its Star Office and Open Office word processing, database and spreadsheet software the option of downloading the Google search toolbar as well.
In the long term, however, I'm sure it will be the other way round - Google becoming the primary distribution network for Sun's desktop applications, with Java at the centre of it all.”
Swapneel says:
y not?
§ Hrishikesh says:
dunno, jlt
§ Hrishikesh says:
it has a hidden propoganda
§ Hrishikesh says:
something in it does not feel good
Swapneel says:
bout the hidden propaganda...who doesnt? google? ms? cisco?
Swapneel says:
but yea...i think ur opinion is based a lot due to java
Swapneel says:
i agree with java sucking big time....when compared to ruby, py, lisp, etc...
§ Hrishikesh says:
right now, google hasn't done nething to fuck itself, or da industry
Swapneel says:
but the fact remains, for average ppl, java rules
§ Hrishikesh says:
actually it does not matter
Swapneel says:
fucking urself and hidden propaganda is diff na? or u tryin to mean something else?
§ Hrishikesh says:
da problem with hidden propagandas is that eventually, u fuck and get fucked
§ Hrishikesh says:
unless ur M$
§ Hrishikesh says:
cause dey are desensitised
Swapneel says:
lol...neutered u mean
Swapneel says:
hahaha
§ Hrishikesh says:
euphematically speaking, yea
Swapneel says:
but its classical game theory....imagine how huge ibm wouldve been, if they werent stupid enuff and bill gates wasnt smart enuff with the DOS deal
Swapneel says:
someone's gotta lose out
Lemme know what u guys think. Comments are welcome.
PS: Joel Spolsky's article on MicroEconomics is a MUST READ.
