What I would love to see is FULL retention of preferences across all Google services my Google account. For example, when I log into Gmail and then access Google Search, Google knows who I am (it displays my Gmail address), but I continually have to change Preferences in Google Search, Yes, I know they use Cookies, but why can't they use Account information if I am logged in? This would REALLY make Google better.

They will do that.

:P. I must admit that some of my 'predictions' where more like wishes also. But lets see in a few years....

Currently 5 out of 22 predictions already came true!

Hmmm, yes, this could be profitable too.

And if a person uses Google at home, at work or anywhere, we track the user name, searches, and all preferences; along with the IP. The Chinese Ministry of Truth would pay generously for this, and perhaps the Bush administration too.

Thanks!
