Do uber geekiness and a Carfree ride make your 103 MW OR facility all better?

Today Google (GOOG) announced their newest creation. The three wheeled uber-geek ride they intend to use to expand the Street View service into carfree or car-inaccessable areas starting in the UK. And while fietspad world wide remain very much in the dark when it comes to online mapping software, it seems to me just that more green-wash on their increadible appitite.

Don’t get me wrong, we both know it takes serious amounts of power to return sub-second query results on a repository the size and bredth of theirs. And what footpath frequeting pedestrian or cyclist wouldn’t love to look at the passage of his way from the frame of his iPhone? Still it seems that pictures from bikes are plentiful all over the world.

It amazes me what useless things we can accomplish when profit motive is assigned to the project. And the good ones are jokes?
