They commited 10 million USD to making the ideas a reality.
154,000 entries and the finalists have been announced. If these are the best ideas we can come up with then it's no wonder we're in the state we're in on this planet. What a joke.
Some of the ideas:
Encourage positive media depictions of engineers and scientists
WTF?! HOw is this going to help the most people? If Engineers and Scientists are not being depicted positively (besides the fact that might be for good reason) then boo f#&*ng hoo. My hearts beelds for them and of course we should be spending 10 million large to help the poort things. Maybe we should be helping the Scientists who invented the landmines so they can be viewed more positively, oh hang on, there's a google 10 to 100th tihng for that:
Create more efficient landmine removal programs
No wait, that's opposed to the first one really isn't it. But if the scientists build the landmines then we can spend money removing them and presenting them in a positive light, win win!Make government more transparent
Well Government's been trying this for years and haven't sorted it so how's this going to work; hack into Govie computers and get the info they need to hide? Maybe this can work with this:
Provide quality education to African students
and we can find out why the African Governments keep making dictators rich, or is this for 1st World Governments only? Then we can see why they haven't been able to sort Africa for 50 years.Maybe this one can tie into the transparent African Governments:
Create genocide monitoring and alert system
and with the new found 1st World transparency we can see exactly what these Governments didn't do to stop it happening and what they're not doing now.Fail Google. You may be number one at search and maps but here's where you hit the limit. The problems we face can't be solved by you putting it out there to the great unwashed for solutions and then putting together a board of the great unqualified to choose them.

Wow, lots of hype and buzz for nill.
Make government more transparent???
That's it??? This is your big idea?
Here's a better idea...make stuff cheaper. On wait, here's an even better idea...eliminate povertay. No no no hold on, here we go...World Peace!
Yes, that is my great one-of-a-kinf world changing idea, world peace. Man, if I only had submitted world peace as my idea. LOL.
Although all the ideas Google grouped would somewhat change the world and bring some benefit to people I think Google has highly regretted the competition and finally chose ideas which don’t disturb capitalism. The ideas that would really make an impact must be political and Google with its mission of “helping as much people as possible” has not even created such a group.
I have troubled Google a lot because my idea will one day replace capitalism and make the world a wonderful place to be. You may find my idea here http://www.sarovic.com/google_project.htm. The problem is Google likes capitalism much more than a good world.

Yeah... I sure like the one about banking which starts "Partner with Banks..."
Wait, I know... the government bailout funds have been inadequate, now we need to have the private sector bail out the banks.
If you want to change banking, then the banks are the LAST people you want to partner with. They have strong reasons to keep things the way they are.
This article is a joke.
Ok, 10 million can't change the world. !!!!
They can create a bases for big change though. But bringing in peace requires something more than money.
