Google’s GBrowser - What an idea
I recently read in few places that Google is planning for a new browser named GBrowser. They have registered the domain gbrowser.com. I just liked their idea a lot.
I know that developers will not be keen on seeing yet another browser in this Browser-Incompatability-World. Well, but from a company perspective, I think it is an excellent idea. Thinking a bit more on what they are planning to do with it, here is what occured to me…..
Google has around 100 thousand Servers in their clusters (I myself saw around 30K of them in one location). They are using the same cluster of servers for all their services including Google Search, Blogger, Orkut etc. I also saw a test project on their site ‘Google Compute’ where the users can donate their computing cycles to Google’s research. Now combining these two with GBrowser, will be powerful. They can make GBrowser as ‘The Only Software Required’ on your machine. They can make us use their computing resources instead of our CPUs which means that we’ll be using the worlds biggest grid for computing purposes. Well, the grid will be expanded all over the world if people donate their CPU Cycles for this purpose.
Basically, this way, there will be one huge Virtual Computer spanning across multiple data centers and multipe homes serving millions of people at the same time and all the users need is a GBrowser.
Well….I am not marketing for Google 
May be I am thinking too much into it?
