> you've just replaced a working DNS system with a DNS system based on best guess or worse requiring a small biz to register with multiple DNS like systems
Yes, I said it's a really dumb idea. Stop wasting your time nit-picking it :) It was an example of how you could create an open, keywords-based system without requiring Google as an intermediary.
> Why in the world would you think that google would do anything that did not use their system? That's just not based in reality one bit.
I don't think their new URL scheme would catch on without buy-in from non-Google stakeholders, so there's plenty of incentive for them to come up with something in cooperation with those stakeholders, who would surely reject a strong dependency on Google's services.
I'm glad that you put so much faith in Google, but they get no trust from me. Video and Image codecs are nowhere near the samething as web traffic where they can gather data. Of course G wants a faster JS engine. Everything they do is hidden/obfuscated with in that code. Making an engine that is fast enough so they can track mouse movements to generate heat maps and what ever other nefarious JS tracking they are doing/wanting to do in a way that doesn't enfuriate the user is just self centered. The fact that you can use it to do other things is just collateral damage.

Yeah, you replaced Google with another intermediary or a bunch of other intermediaries. That just shows you're refusing to see that the problem is one of why there should be any intermediary at all.

Google creates open standards all the time.
