I got the feeling that "Google Earth" will soon mean something different...

Google will just buy Microsoft and call the next OS GooHorn or something else as silly

Yeah it looks like in a decade or so GoogleBucks will be on every corner, we'll be riding GUTS (Google Urban Transit System) and plans will be underway to build a large structure of satellites in Earth's orbit that, from space, will look like a giant Google logo with Earth being the middle 'o'.
