wtf, google? it makes perfect sense. if it's not them, it'll be Apple. I'm usually the first to dismiss the Orwell/Huxley-swinging fear mongerers, but suddenly it all feels just wrong on a deep level. Not that it's suddenly coming out of nowhere actually, but seeing a video like this makes me feel dizzy: it seems like a made up ad in a dystopian sci-fi flick, except it is not. |

adds up to something, how are they gonna lure us into speech-to text-to speech? that "voice" seems so unuseful to me |

it's when your hard drive basically exists online so faceless monster corporations can control and access your every document and file - saving you the utter horror if having to carry a USB drive in your pocket. we're all doomed. the golden age of the net is over. now it's just going to find really efficient ways of quietly shafting us all. |

lol, i know :) i was merely throwing it into the equation - i should be clearer about these things. cloud computing leaves you entirely at the mercy of someone else. its disempowering. and you're right about the *golden age* - it is over, or it has at least peaked. the internet will become more and more enclaved, like the old service provider communities that all seemed to be based on AOL, except it will most likely consist of a few choice services like gmail, twitter, youtube, facebook, etc... to be honest i'd be interested to see how many people venture outside of these sites on a regular basis...but thats another thought for another day. it pains me to say that the ipad is probably a good indication of where we're headed. people harping on about it being underpowered and omitting obvious features are missing the point. the future is more depressing than scary though. the business don't wan't to control us, they just want to sell us shit. endless streams of shit we don't need. fucking A. :-/ |

well i mean the thing is, no one actually has a clue, much like with the pig flu, so there are lots of 'opinions on the matter', but as it looks now google are really simply trying to make even more gigantic shitloads of money by selling ads basically, it's what they do. Only they are turning into this waaay too powerful data dragon kind of thing? googledude 1: "hey look googledude 2, we're accumulating massive amounts of contextual, fine grained data about peoples' personalities, those funny humans simply tell us all about themselves and their interaction among each other, and we also have really smart computer scientists who are constantly improving our algorithms to make sense of that data. in fact it looks like we are going to have automatically generated, incredibly precise psycho-grams of a large part of this planet's population in a couple of years at latest. We are the leaders of an entirely new age of predictive mass-pychology. also they are pretty much hooked on our ubiquitous services by now." googledude 2: "yee whatev, let's just sell more ads." eeeh? |

This is the hard-won realization from inside the Google search engine, culled from the data generated by billions of searches: a rock is a rock. It’s also a stone, and it could be a boulder. Spell it “rokc” and it’s still a rock. But put “little” in front of it and it’s the capital of Arkansas. Which is not an ark. Unless Noah is around. “The holy grail of search is to understand what the user wants,” Singhal says. “Then you are not matching words; you are actually trying to match meaning.” |
