Google moving to Arizona

I see in our local paper that Google is looking to move to AZ. OK. Where are you going to get more programmers? While it is cheap to operate here, well at least it is now, the availabilioty of good programmers will be limited. The idea is that with ASU Scottsdale and Intel here I guess that Google will be on the leading edge of innovation. ASU will be an interesting one to watch. If More companies invest in it then the idea of having a good campus to draw from may work. If Sun, IBM and Apple along with HP also invested then there could be some advantage. Everything seems to revolve around Stanford, Berkely and MIT when it comes to technology. I doubt ASU can be much of a contender without serious investement. Google will most likely drive up wages in the long run and it may prove to be counter productive to their mission. Cash is king and Google seems to have lots of it but without some sort of revolutionary product they are destined to fail. So far they are far behind in the portal business, and sorry, while Google Earth is cute it is only a toy at this point. If they partnered with Sun for RFID and made images availbale in real time then tracking would be possible.
