And you thought their right arm was nice.

Every time I hear another awesome thing about Google, I think to myself "this can only go so far, they'll disappoint me one day." Well that's not today. Meet "the philanthropic arm of Google"; Google.org. The jist of it is an NPO with Google's philosophy and a billion dollars to help the world. Now don't get me wrong the money is exciting; seeing someone with that much money putting forth the ache is always needed. What I'm excited about is that I hope they'll run this thing like Google itself. Not just ideas, really good ideas. That means we won't just be throwing money at a problem and hoping it gets solved. Honestly, when are they gonna buy an island somewhere and set up a government? It'd prolly be invite only though, so I'll have to start playing my cards right to get in. BBC
