    Hah, what better way to deliver an easter egg than with silence as soon as it appears. I feel like there should be an accompanied "eh! eh!" flying over the screen.

    I read the Google OS won't have a hard drive, and instead will have a internal flash drive as well as storing most of your information online.

    Yeah, that's exactly what I want is my personal information available for the company to scour and hackers to crack. They can say it will be secure and private all they want, I'm not buying it.

    @Strangelove: You have email yeah?
    And possibly a facebook account or similar?
    Maybe a youtube account, or flickr account?
    You use Google, Bing, Yahoo?
    If you answered yes to any of those, or similar features. Well done your privacy has been breached, by yourself.

    You are one of 6.8 billion people on this planet, I don't think Google find you particularly important or noteworthy to them unless you have a IT start-up company. So don't worry, you'll just be some random numbers to them.

    Don't care. I don't need any more of my information stored on the internets. I fully realize there is personal information stored on a myriad of websites and services. But here's another problem: What if your internet is down? What access to your computer and information do you retain? Moveover, I don't like the concept of web-based storage in general.

    @(zombie) PeteyCoco: It was a symbol used by the Hojo clan in feudal Japan, yes. It represented three scales (like on a fish), but I don't think its meaning extended beyond basic heraldry and clan identification.

    The odds that someone at Google knows this and is making reference to it instead of the Triforce are... not good.
