Yeah, I mean, have you ever thought when you got that soulless business degree that you might be getting hired at
Google? People will jump at that chance, if they do go through with it, if only so they can totally laugh in the face of just about every one of their compsci friends.
But really Walmart just wants to continue the flow of credit -- the great American consumer economy (yeah yeah it's a prepaid, the point is to have a card and not the less charmingly easy-to-use benjamins) -- while Google is dabbling in everything as usual as they think, probably correctly, that they can do better and try to achieve that world domination plan of theirs. I think at some point they want an economic ecosystem at the level that makes Apple looks like it's run by a bunch of freelancers.
Not that I mind, they can have the world if they give me Google Fiber.
