| Posted by: schmiggens | | I was only joking when I said Google wanted to take over the world, but it seems they just might.
It makes me think of that movie with Sly Stallone and Sandra Bullock in it, where all restaurants are Taco Bell, except in our future, all everything is "google"  | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: adityamahesh | | This is just too much. Supposedly, every bottle of that drink will have sophisticated technology which will reconfigure the drink depending upon the drinker's DNA structure and will also affect the brain chemistry helping us perform better.
I hate to say this, but this is one Google product I am in no hurry to try.

| Posted by: Larke2000 | | i bet there's nanomachines in the google gulp and after a few months google will unveil their new search engine that will index and catalogue the contents of your brain. so now you'll never have to remember anything, just do a search of your brain at google's website. 
[edit: darn you AM! you read my mind. uh, you haven't been drinking a google gulp lately, have you? ] | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: adityamahesh | | What are you talking about J-man? I just posted what I concluded after reading Google's website.

| Posted by: Larke2000 | | there was no reply when i came in here and when i finished and hit "go" i saw that you had beat me to the punch about the embedded google technology.  | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: adityamahesh | | That is correct. I suppose I am the fastest draw in the West. 
Honestly, I cannot think how Google can make those bottles affordable with all that embedded technology. I suppose they recycle the bottles.

| Posted by: adityamahesh | | That is what I am hoping, that this is Google's idea of an April Fool's joke. But I have seen their jokes in the past and this doesn't look like one. I suppose it is for real.

| Posted by: adityamahesh | | Okay, I just read up more about it on the Internet, and then went back and read everything they had to say on Google's webpage. Apparently, it is an April Fool's joke. Those b******. 
I was honestly quite surprised that they would be able to incorporate such futuristic technology into a commercial product. I am pretty sure that if the technology to read DNA sequence from saliva and process it so fast and then reconfigure the drink exists, it would certainly be classified.

| Posted by: Lawless | | Yeah, that's what I was thinking..... and that's why I said... HOW is it possible. I mean, I KNOW that there is technology developed out there, to do many things... but, it would not just be on the open market like this!!! | | Reply To this Message
|
| Posted by: adityamahesh | | Now that we know it is a joke, Larke might want to refer to his post again. I am sure he feels similar sentiments - again.

| Posted by: Larke2000 | | oh, yeah... sure... just laugh it up you two. 
thank goodness it's an april fool's joke. if anyone was going to actually manufacture something like this, micro$oft would be my first bet.  | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: adityamahesh | | Well, if we won't laugh at you, who would we laugh at man? 
Microsoft has more sinister plans than designing such products.

| Posted by: Larke2000 | | micro$oft is the single most reason why i got interested in computer/network security. the devil you know is better than the devil you don't know. 
and i can't think of a better place to go where i can enjoy being laughed at... or something like that. you know i mean.  | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: adityamahesh | | But how do you know that you really know the devil? 
Kris, I think I might have seen that movie a long time ago. It is about a bunch of hacker kids and one of them starts to work for a Gates-esque person, right?

xml will be cool. i'm looking forward to all the bells and whistles that will go along with that.
and the interoperability that SOAP allows for will be a plus. cross-platform ease of communication is paramount in today's environment.
