Hi Dave--


Everybody wonders what Google is going to do next.

Here's a great piece called "Google's Moon Shot"--

Thiis excellent piece (from the Feb 12 New Yorker) describes the
 current strange situation-- all the major American publishers are
 suing Google for scanning their books without permission;
 Google is expected to PAY THEM OFF, which it can easily afford,
 gaining the keys to the kingdom.

How to deliver final information to users-- this is where I think
 the Xanadu Project, with its design for parallel media views
 and recomposition, is still highly relevant.
