[Cialug] OT: Daydreaming out loud

So I'm thinking about this "Google PC" at Wal-Mart, and I'm thinking about
Google's giant search engine machine and I'm wondering "can they extend this
to the computers they sell?"  So everyone's computer contributes a little to
either the processing, the knowledge, or both at Google Corporate?
1) it would be really clever and interesting if they pulled it off
2) should we be scared?  Google and Wal-mart in cahoots

I'm hoping the machine, if it becomes real, is cheap and easy to hack.
