Google Inc, the uncontested leader in Internet services
announced it has shipped its 5 millionth “free” computer, only 14
months after starting up the “Free Computer Program”. The Google
Product Manager, Pierre Lindsely, stated he is overwhelmed by the
success of his project and they are trying very hard to keep up
with demand.
People now have to wait more than three weeks to get their
“G-Tops”, as they have become known as, instead of the three days
when the program started. Pierre Lindsely: “People will wait for
anything if it’s free, so I am not worried that this will impact
the enthusiasm for this product. We are attracting some new
suppliers and we will see the waiting time decrease gradually.” The
free Google computers come with a free broadband connection that
connects only to Google WI-FI hubs (aka as G-Spots). (cont.)
This, in combination with the Google Operating System (GooGOS)
allows Google to access every click performed on these machines and
uniquely controls the advertisements that are displayed when using
any application. Critics are baffled by the public’s casualness to
open up their computers and sign away all their personal
information to Google. Microsoft CEO
Steve Ballmer who ridiculed the program when it was announced, has
since refused to comment on the blatant success of the product.
Microsoft announced last week it will be offering free computers to
the public within the next two months.
