Thanks to Public Or Private: Keeping Google From Being 'Evil' : NPR that I heard via the NPR News app, I learned of
Google thinks I'm 35-44. I feel young again! Also thinks I'm way more interested in cars than I really am; can't imagine why...
On the this WEEK in TECH | TWiT.TV podcast, they've brought up the Google glasses a few times. On a recent ep of Charlie Rose, former Professor Sebastian Thrun (behind the Google self-driving car project and led the Stanford team to win one of the DARPA driving challenges before) was on w/the glasses on. Interview at Charlie Rose - Sebastian Thrun. He didn't talk for long but talked about the self driving cars, the glasses and Udacity. Looks kinda like a Borg, eh? On the ep, he took a picture and from the glaseses and it's up at https://plus.google.com/111626127367496192147/posts.
Google will alert users to DNSChanger malware infection | Security & Privacy - CNET News Cool! Unfortunately, I suspect some folks might mistaken it for a phishing scam, malware, etc.
This is sorta Google related since they own YouTube and have Google Maps. YouTube Videos Near Me lets you drag a marker to a location and it'll show you YouTube videos that were tagged near that marker.
There is a setting for this with Google Earth also. Used it to get a real world view of the Colorado Springs fire. I have a cousin who does IT security for Google's executive offices. Been waiting years for some swag.
Google Throws Open Doors to Its Top-Secret Data Center | Wired Enterprise | Wired.com was interesting. I learned of it from Google Reveals Data Center Secrets - Hardware - Data centers - .
The Joy of Tech :: The Google Store Experience - Too funny! This relates to the rumor about Google opening its own retail stores.
My TiVo happened to be tuned in on the right channel and time to catch the Eric Schmidt ep of Revolutionaries | KQED Public Media for Northern CA. Looks like you can watch it online at . Finished watching the above. Eric Schmidt (as in his other interviews) is an interesting guy. Looks like there are some other a few other interesting ones at REVOLUTIONARIES Season 2 - YouTube.
I thought this was interesting news today: Google parts ways with Apple over WebKit, launches Blink | Internet & Media - CNET News. Some supporting info from Google itself: Developer FAQ - The Chromium Projects and Chromium Blog: Blink: A rendering engine for the Chromium project. For those who aren't aware, the Webkit rendering engine is (for now) used by the web browers of virtually all the major mobile devices: Android devices, iOS devices, newer Blackberries, defunct webOS devices, even Symbian, just not Microsoft devices. This is in addition to Chrome and Safari on PCs and Macs.
The Internship | Official Movie Site | In Theaters June 7 that features Google is opening Friday. Nightly Business Report – Thursday, June 6, 2013 | Nightly Business Report at ~20 min covers Google's involvement w/the movie, which was a stark contrast to The Social Network and Facebook's lack of cooperation (not surprising since that movie skewers Zuck).
I saw a sneak preview of the Internship last week and I loved it. I would absolutely love to work somewhere that had a slide that you could take instead of the stairs...well, assuming that is really the case. I know that Google was already popular with applicants a while ago, but I have no doubt that the amount of applications will increase even more. Heck, I would work there.
It will be interesting to see how google responds to the PRISM allegations. U.S. intelligence mining data from nine U.S. Internet companies in broad secret program - The Washington Post NSA taps in to user data of Facebook, Apple, Google and others, secret files reveal
