Google Purge

According to the always-interesting Onion, Google is embarking on a new project to destroy all information it can't index. But there's more:

"Book burning is just the beginning," said Google co-founder Larry Page. "This fall, we'll unveil Google Sound, which will record and index all the noise on Earth. Is your baby sleeping soundly? Does your high-school sweetheart still talk about you? Google will have the answers."

The best part about this is that any sound that can't be picked up by Google's global microphone network will simply be silenced by noise-cancellation machines in low-Earth orbit.

A neat solution to a lot of pesky problems, I say.
