Default Re: Google Wave

How awesome is this?
Yesterday I was watching Firefly and I suddenly noticed the people were not using e-mail, but 'waves'. Like "You got a wave from Inara."
I thought it was a very cool coincidence. Then I started Googling.

Turns out the people at Google are big Firefly fans. They renamed 'Walkabout' to 'Wave' because of the series.
See here for example: http://www.itnews.com.au/News/146353...ofts-bing.aspx
