While I think much bloggy news is useless, this is a very compelling story - and one without commercial application...except the guy now seems to have a job reporting to the UK newspaper The Guardian. • Instant Update: Ok - this may not be new news but here is his blog up and running again …

Has Google jumped the shark? Every good IT company sooner or later does a odd thing which may herald a downturn of its fortunes. Didn't Xerox give away windows in the late 60's because it would never work. Didn't IMB give away the PC as, surely, no one could reverse engineer their stuff. Apple …
