Hidden away in a remote part of the San Francisco Bay Area, Google has a top-secret lab that’s home to the future. It’s called Google X and guess what? Nobody knows for sure what happens in there.
The New York Times reports that Google X is home to all manner of exotic technology and forward-thinking innovation. Which I’m sure it is. But you don’t have to read far to realise that, essentially, nobody has the faintest idea what that involves.
“Google X [is] the clandestine lab where Google is tackling a list of 100 shoot-for-the-stars ideas. In interviews, a dozen people discussed the list; some work at the lab or elsewhere at Google, and some have been briefed on the project. But none would speak for attribution because Google is so secretive about the effort that many employees do not even know the lab exists.”
That doesn’t mean we can’t take a stab at guessing what’s going on, though. From what’s been said so far, robots feature heavily at Google X. One rumour suggests that fleets of robots could replace the humans that photograph streets for Google Maps, another that they could be destined for homes and offices, where they can assist with chores.
But that’s dull. More exciting is the idea that Google might put its driverless cars into production. In the US, at least. And then there’s the long-held dream of Google: space elevators. In theory, that involves rocketless space travel where people — well, inside some sort of vehicle — are towed along a cable anchored to Earth. If they’re working on that at X, boy is that exciting.
Still, like we say, nobody really knows what happens at Google X. They could just be watching YouTube for all we know. [The New York Times]

It’s a shame that Google has already been infiltrated by iCronies and iMoles from Apple who are deeply connected to crappple’s Technology Theft riffraff (who interestingly forget to mention Crapple on their resumes when applying for jobs at Google). Crapple is going to steal the simpler ideas from google and implement them in as future iCraps and patent the more complex ones that it is incapable of having sweatshops in Asia implement for them so that they can sue anyone that tries to develop those ideas into products thereby getting into the lead position of holding back the entire high-tech industry from further advancement for decaudes.

Very few people also know that Apple also has a secret research department. They are currently exploring ways of getting their 30% cut of the air you breath. Please note that Oxygen is only 20.95% of air, so this could be fatal.
At least if you breethe air from google, it will be free and will come with obligatory robot that will walk everywhere with you measuring every breath you take and suggesting the best brands of toothpaste for you. Yeah, google air is better because it’s free
