Can Google, the technology giant best known for search and free email, tackle aging?

The Mountain View, Calif.-based company is planning to launch Calico, a new firm that will attempt to solve some of health care?s most vexing problems. One of the independent venture?s major initiatives will be significantly expanding human lifespan. Arthur Levinson, the former chief of biotech pioneer Genentech, is an investor in Calico and will serve as its CEO.

The Sept. 30 issue of TIME profiles Google co-founder and CEO Larry Page as well as his decision to launch Calico.

Based in the Bay Area, not far from Google?s headquarters, Calico will be making longer-term bets than most health care firms. ?In some industries, it takes ten or 20 years to go from an idea to something being real. Healthcare is certainly one of those ares,? said Page. ?Maybe we should shoot for the things that are really, really important so ten or 20 years from now we have those things done.?

Google is announcing Calico in a Google+ post Wednesday. Details of the company?s funding and employee head count were not available as of press time.

Google is keeping its exact plans close to the vest. But it is likely to use its data-processing might to shed new light on age-related maladies. Sources close to the project suggest Calico will start with a small number of employees and focus initially on researching new technology.

That approach may yield unlikely conclusions. ?Are people really focused on the right things? One of the things I thought was amazing is that if you solve cancer, you?d add about three years to people?s average life expectancy,? Page said. ?We think of solving cancer as this huge thing that?ll totally change the world. But when you really take a step back and look at it, yeah, there are many, many tragic cases of cancer, and it?s very, very sad, but in the aggregate, it?s not as big an advance as you might think.?

Levinson, the firm?s leader, has had a storied career. A biochemist with a Ph.D. from Princeton, he rose through the ranks to become CEO of Genentech in 1995. Levinson, who was previously a director at Google, is currently the chairman of both Genentech and Apple?s boards. He replaced the latter company?s co-founder Steve Jobs after his death in 2011. Levinson was not immediately available for comment.

Sounds about right for those bloodsucking cunts.

If you read up on what they are planning to do it seems they don't really know.

This is the kind of article you float when your competitor has just released new products and you want to gain media traction.

Just imagine imortal Hillary Clinton, George Bush, Dick Chenny, Donald Rumsfield, Kissinger, etc.

Because you know that if you just an average guy you will never have a chance to be imortal.

Not for any of us unless you have a spare billion or two, will be my guess.

Imortal or not, I am certain they are researching how to control us better.

The thing that disturbs me is that no one disputes that these big multi-national companies, military and gouvernements are actively engaged in reseach that will ultimately fuck us over.

But millions of science fiction techno geeks read bullshit like this and get an errection fantasizing about it. Then subsequently run out to financially support these mother fuckers by purchasing their junk.

Never once considering the fact they will never be amongst those lucky enough to be made imortal. Or furthermore considering that with every dollar they put in the pockets of these techno-nazis they only assure their future destiny as a soylent green based product.
