Engadget Mobile has the story on the talks between Google and three major networks, Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint. Apparently these talks made Google’s stock go over $700 today. I’m pretty curious to see where all this is heading. A GPhone or a Google OS for mobile phones. Free calls in exchange of receiving text ads? The mobile operating system seams to have the best odds right now, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Two more weeks and all the hype that’s been building up in the last year will finally come to an end. Better late then never I guess.

Just read a fiction story written by Cory Doctorow, about Google and it’s increasing knowledge of our lives. From email, search, docs and soon going into social networking, Google can see a much bigger part of your life then you think. Every move you make online can be tracked if they wished so, as many sites out there use either Google Adsense or Google Analytics tracking codes.

Anyway, head on to Radar Online and check out Scroogled.

It was found by british marine biologists in the ocean, north of Iceland, while they were doing routine research. The clam, part of the ocean quahog species, was brought to the surface from 250 feet deep.

The surprise, after they cut through its shell, killing it in the process, was that the clam was over 400 years old, based on the growth rings that it had, making it the oldest living animal on Earth. Now that it’s dead, the oldest clam alive found is 374 years old.

Too bad this one didn’t make it.
