This seems a bit overblown. Do you really think that you've come up with an idea that one of the thousands of minds at Google hasn't already thought of and dismissed (or back burnered)? This is a great opportunity. The likeliest responses by Google when evaluating applicants are (in order): 1) That's a really stupid idea. 2) That's not a terrible idea. 3) That's a pretty interesting idea. We should keep an eye on these guys. 4) That's a really interesting idea. We should talk to these guys and maybe hire/buy them. 5) That's a REALLY interesting idea, but a lousy implementation. We should clobber these guys. 6) That's a fabulous idea, and they seem to be doing it right. Let's buy 'em.
