Google TiSP - Broadband Toilet Internet Service Provider

On the Google Home Page April 1st, 2007 people were greated with this promotional text...

New! Get FREE breakthrough broadband with Google TiSP (BETA).


I know that this is an April Fool's Joke, but the best lies are based on some amount of truth. Does Google want my DNA as they mention in the FAQ section, probably. I'm sure targeting ads based on my bodily movements would be just the tip of the iceburg. Based on Google's track record of partnering with NASA I would guess that it's not long before the human genome project is powered by Google.


I have to admit when I saw the link on Google for Free broadband I was pysched because I thought it was going to be a wireless sharing network like www.fon.com. The next thought that went through my mind was that Google will soon know everything about every aspect of my life, it's just a matter of time.
