Seriously. These were precisely the first words out of my mouth as well.

Worth pointing out that Ray Kurzweil[1] is the director of engineering at google, Peter Norvig[2] is the director of research, and they recently snatched up Geoffrey Hinton[3] and several of his grad students.

Not sure if excited or terrified. The future of google is going to be very interesting...
