Is Google really a Cult?
You might think so given its numerous hardcore followers. Like me. That is just one of the many mysterious surrounding Google. Many people thrive, and live daily on Google's search platform, and many product offerings like Google Earth, Google Maps and Gmail. They do nothing but speak the many praises of what Google is doing for the world, and wait, rather impatiently, for the next new upcoming beta release for that new Google offering.

What's interesting is that a story about 'Platypus', a nonexistent service so far, can reference earlier stories about rumors of an online storgage service from Google. I don't know what it is, but even while most of their peripheral services are unremarkable, you'd be hard pressed to not find a story on a new launch every day.
