Google has acquired BumpTop and 3D Desktop Technology. What is Bumptop? Watch this youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0ODskdEPnQ

Anyway, whats interesting is that Google has acquired this at a time when its developing its own OS. does this mean its gonna be integrated in its new OS? If thats what Google has in mind, I think the computer world is set for a massive earth shattering change.

"massive earth shattering change" .....No

Bumptop = rubbish

If Google add that to thier OS it will yet another reason not to use it. Bumptop is horrible.

i don't think they'll leave it unchanged. Most people also used to say something like: Android Linux= rubbish
Look at it now
Lets just wait and see, it won't cost us a thing

This can actually be useful on a tablet. Maybe google is planning that.

New way to make easy money:

1. Start a small scale development company.

2. Develop a potentially innovative but ultimately unusable program with the threat of making something worth millions in the near future given the aid of a competitor.

3. Sell to Google.
