As of now, all the goods that Google has provided the public is free (with the exception of some development tools). <br><br>I agree with Daniel Morin, competition keep the capitalistic market honest. If there were no competition, capitalism (on a global level) would never have gotten us to where we are today (for better or worse). If Google can do X better (or more efficiently) than the next guy, then let them. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Aaron Frost]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 22nd 2010 11:21AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Google Granted the Right to Buy and Sell Electricity]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/02/19/google-granted-the-right-to-buy-and-sell-electricity/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/02/19/google-granted-the-right-to-buy-and-sell-electricity/</guid><description><![CDATA[You left out a reference to Bloom Energy, and Google being their first corporate customer for the BloomBox fuel cell power system.

A fraction of what a "true" UK company earning that amount would pay.<br>If GoogleLife were ever to come into existence, Rowedahelicon, you would probably have to share that kidney with 15 thousand other users . . .]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ant Sharman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 23rd 2010 4:35AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Google Granted the Right to Buy and Sell Electricity]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/02/19/google-granted-the-right-to-buy-and-sell-electricity/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/02/19/google-granted-the-right-to-buy-and-sell-electricity/</guid><description><![CDATA[Are we leading to "Gooogleaven",<br>There will be no Hell or Heaven ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alok]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 23rd 2010 6:41AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
