Google's Set Up

I gotta hand it to Google. They are pretty incredible. They provide a wealth of applications that I use on a daily basis. Applications like mail, reader, blogger, photos and docs help things move smoothly in my world. They give me a reason not to purchase a .mac account. Recently with the addition of Google Gears I smell a rat.

Are we laboratory rats for a productivity suite similar to Microsoft Office? When Google Apps are out of beta, will people be charged a subscription or outright fee for their use? That would make sense if Google intends to grow beyond advertising. If that happens, I should have gotten a .mac account. LOL
