Original post with some editing:
I have seen many posts on Google as an operating system recently. Is this where we're headed? Will the infatuation with Google change if it takes over as king of the software world? Will there be an anti-Google sentiment. I'd love to have a single point of reference for all my information, remember Bill Gates' "Information at your Fingertips", but I get nervous about any one company possessing it all.
Watch the video Epic 2014. It is a great, eight minute video on where we've been and some fiction on where the authors feel we might be headed. Remember this was from 2005.

One more story, Google OS by 2010 on osnews.
Google, it's not your father's search engine. What do you think?
Google = search engine. Yes, but since 2005 we have come to rely on it for so much more. YouTube, Google Docs, iGoogle, Google Maps, Picasa and the list goes on. The Google Browser predicted in 2005, it's here and called Chrome. They just announced Google Wave, which is reported to be the solution to the social media nightmare of managing multiple feeds. Is it the EPIC product mentioned in the video?
The fictional struggle between newspapers and the web is today's reality, see AP lawsuit.
I will rerun this post in 2013 and compare the predictions to reality. By the way, you won't be able to read it in a blog since the written word will be dead and everything will be on video. I'll post it from my iPhone 7G using the MyTV application.
