    MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA—Executives at Google, the rapidly growing online-search company that promises to "organize the world's information," announced Monday the latest step in their expansion effort: a far-reaching plan to destroy all the information it is unable to index.

    lol I was reading that and was thinking 'wtf they cant do that?????'

    Page added: "And thanks to Google Purge, anything our global microphone network can't pick up will be silenced by noise-cancellation machines in low-Earth orbit."

    As a part of Phase One operations, Google executives will permanently erase the hard drive of any computer that is not already indexed by the Google Desktop Search.

    "We believe that Google Desktop Search is the best way to unlock the information hidden on your hard drive,"

    Sort of gives it away. Funny though

    hahah I skipped the second page and just read the end
    "Soon," Brin added, "we'll make dreams clickable, or destroy them forever."

    Great finish to it.
