Why Google hired Vint Cerf
said databases filled with geographically indexed material will soon help people easily retrieve lists of local hospitals, ATMs or cafes on mobile devices.

They hired him just for that?? My cell phone had an application I could download that did the very same thing. And its probably a lot cheaper than what Google is paying for this guy's salary. Glad I'm not a Google investor. Bunch of blithering idiots.
