Google pushing a Chrome OS makes me wonder if they have the right confluence of conditions to actually create a system based on the Intel CloneCloud concept, where a netbook OS relies on additional horsepower from a google backed grid cloud that allows expanding an OS beyond a single netbook to including the computing resources of a linked clone in the google cloud. Your personal desktop is semi-anchored between the netbook and a cloud clone instance, a sort of bridged hetereogenous cluster OS. This would also have an easy to exploit subscription service revenue stream, and a semi-controlled user data storage environment that Google can freely mine/index for patterns and metadata. Like Windows lock-in, you become so dependent on google services that the costs to migrate away to either another cloud platform or a standalone OS is excessive.

Well, the Y chromosome was already in a gradual state of corruption/decline/erasure from the human genome anyways due to not clearly understood evolutionary reasons (a long range problem for the human species potentially), but this would potentially accelerate the issue since there would no longer be a fundamental need for men, thus no compelling reason for preservation of the Y chromosome other than as a historical curiosity.

wow, now that's obnoxious...
