Totally agree I think it is brilliant that Google can spend resources on projects like this, for me it is similar to lofty goals like scanning all printed books on earth so they are digitally searchable, I mean how else would most people discover the long tail of books? Also streetview with covering the entire globe, computer driven cars and investment in wind farms are projects that could really advance humanity. I don't even mind as a shareholder!
