Ahhh, Google. When it's not wacky anti-porn goggles or autonomous cars, we figured you were just playing ping pong or laughing at Bing.  But it turns out you've had even more up your sleeve, this time in the form of some big jellyfish-like balloons intended to bring internet access to the developing world. I'm still a little puzzled on the way these balloons maintain control and will end up evenly dispersed enough to not cause massive gaps in coverage (anyone care to 'splain?), and also, won't 70% of them be uselessly over the oceans?  Anyway, still pretty cool if it works as promised eventually!
