, pre-protocol 
conceptual mashup of web-wide activity streams as an early expression of the impossible stream. Complementary to -- and hopefully illustrative of -- the promise of open protocols for achieving entirely new ways of publishing our research, discoveries, reflections, perspectives, contributions, collaborations. Exploring unexpected new ways of documenting, archiving, retrieving, and presenting our very digital lives as streams of interactions with people, ideas, technologies, and contexts. Tools for the internet of things, people, places, and processes when human attention is the penultimate scarce market resource.Posted to googleapis.com

The Nexus One Was Google’s Dream. The Carriers Were Freddy Krueger.
Apparently the original buzz on Google's Nexus One phone that had pegged it as a free, ad-supported phone was pretty close to the truth. Problem was, the telcos knew that it would threaten their market dominance. Hence, N1 was launched online only, with no carrier cooperation to speak of. End of marketing story, understandably. Until someone develops a mobile network that's open to all hardware as the Web is today we're hosed.
