[QUOTE]Google has acquired a US company that generates power using turbines mounted on tethered kites or wings.
Makani Power will become part of Google X - the secretive research and development arm of the search giant.
The deal comes as Makani carries out the first fully autonomous flights of robot kites bearing its power-generating propellers.
Google has not said how much it paid to acquire Makani, but it has invested $15m (£9.9m) in the company before now.[/QUOTE]

If we all get the perks that Google employees get I'm totally okay with that.

Google will grow larger.
Google X sounds more omnious than it should.
I have every hope that Google becomes the weyland-yutani of our world.
The Google corporation seized the opportunity. Stepping into the power vacuum, quickly growing in size and influence, to the brink of world domination.

I, for one welcome our new Google overlords.
The year is 2013. It is a time of great innovation and technological advancement. It is also a time of chaos and conspiracy. I don't even no whose side I'm on.
