I predict Google will merge with eBay one day.

Why do I think this? Because Google and eBay are personal-information-collecting-machines. Google remembers every web search you've ever done. eBay remember every product search you've ever done. If you use the Google Toolbar, it knows every web page you browse to. eBay knows every product you browse to. If you use Blogger.com or BlogSpot.com, which Google just bought, then Google has access to your personal logs, which show every person that's visited your blog. So if these companies merge, they will know all about you, those you know about, and those that know you. Why would they want all this? For better targeting marketing, and maybe to control our brains.
