Those following the Facebook vs Google debate may be interested in this story:

Google Secretly Invested $100+ Million In Zynga, Preparing To Launch Google Games (http://techcrunch.com/2010/07/10/google-secretly-invested-100-million-in-zynga-preparing-to-launch-google-games/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Techcrunch+%28TechCrunch%29&utm_content=FaceBook)

Google is getting into games.

And the cynic in me notes that they now have full API access to over 80 million Facebook profiles of people who have authorised the Farmiville application.

well, sometimes, technology can be improved so quickly, even quicker than we can think. I guess what I mean is: in 2084, maybe google does not exist anymore, :)
