Yeah, this is my major gripe with the Big Weenies current spiel. Google wants to be your brain. Using a computer as an offload engine as the Big Weenie currently describes is the One True Path to IA. But he wants to do it on the cloud, not the server rack in your own basement. Sure the cloud might be more reliable, but the server rack in your basement has one overwhelming advantage: It's yours. -- IQ is a measure of how stupid you feel.
