You keep hearing Google rumors on a daily basis. It really is quite amazing how much buzz they get. I don't think I have seen such a constant stream for any company in my time.
However, I think that everyone is missing the Big One (tm). It isn't Google Wifi, and it wasn't Google Talk.
I think the next big thing revolves around the imaging product. If you do image searches, you notice that you can say "don't show me anything XXX". This means that Google has the power to take a photo and say "this is raunchy".
They could take this as a power for good and simply flip the bit. Imagine how many people would use a search engine that ONLY searches the raunchy. I bet Google can probably do more than just know "yes/no", but also "blond/brunette" and even more (you can get creative I am sure).
So, the cat is out of the bag Google. We know that this entire company was made to come up with the Big One. Google Porn.
