Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Haha, they're desperate. In the next few years, Google is going to take away more and more Microsoft business. Just wait'll they have their own online office suite with unlimited storage space.. who's going to buy Office?

They have a replacement for Outlook's calendar. I seem to remember a spreadsheet program, which replaces Excel. It sounds like they're working on office products to me. They may not be ready to compete on the OS market yet, but I think they will be soon.
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there
Our species really annoys me.
Perhaps this is true, but - particularly with e-mail - how many large corporations do you really think want their e-mail stored on 3rd-party servers they can't control?Gmail, while amazingly great, doesn't meet that corporate need or proprietary-ness.I also doubt that whatever calendar program Google's cooked up is really appropriate for enterprise.
Companies can buy Mini-Google server blades to install wherever they want. Huzzah!
I could see Google competing in the corporate world in the future, perhaps with self-managed boxes (which Google already does, to some extent). For now, they're working on the home-user market, which is still a very important market. And they're doing a pretty good job of it.
I agree. The other thing about Gmail, though, is that it works *with* Outlook and other 3rd party clients. So it's not necessary competing with it.
