Using Bluetooth is very smart, and it means that it can be done in a way that preserves privacy unlike following people around through their cell connections. It should also be more precise.
This is very cool. We are only getting started here: we can't yet imagine all the applications in which deep-learning is going to be applied to.
What a mess. This is another reason to stick with the iPhone.
It's a little sad to me that a comoany with some of the greatest software developers in the world had to clone Oracle/Sun's Java and the iPhone's UI paradigm in order to create Android.
The graphics are really cool.
$35 with three months of free Netflix ($24) means you can justify this toy for $11. I'm addicted to gadgets and I'm fighting myself hard to keep me from buying this. I simply do not own a TV where I can plug it in. My only TV is attached to a Mac mini. And still I want to buy one.
If you have more than one iPad / iPhone or Android equivalent, give this is a try. Impressive demo done with nothing but web technologies.
The comments are interesting too. Here's my take: If you care about your privacy, I recommend against installing software that runs at all times, on a computer you carry with you at all times, that has all sorts of personal information about you, and many sensors to get data on where you are and what you do; when said software is provided for free by a company that profits from gathering your personal data. How much did you pay Google for Android? How much did you pay Facebook for Facebook Home? How do these two companies make money?
It's really cool, but I don't know why anyone would spend this much money on a machine that can run nothing but a browser.
Google removed a useful feature from their best service (according to me) Google Reader: sharing links. They did this in order to shove Google+ down our throats. That's not going well.
So Google Reader users found all sorts of replacements for the feature. Too bad Delicious didn't take advantage of this opportunity to promote their service to Google Reader refugees and maybe create an easy migration tool. Delicious is, as far as I know, the best replacement for it and the best way to share links.
Very interesting article.
Great, now I can have Google misunderstand my Hebrew accent just like Siri does with my English accent!
Asking computer nerds to design social software is a little bit like hiring a Mormon bartender.
Ouch.
As if their gigantic size and jerky interface is not enough, here's another reason you may want to rethink buying an Android phone.
The bottom line is: It costs Android phone makers money and R&D; time to prepare, test, and deploy a software upgrade. But they get nothing in return. Not a cent. Worse even, it would make customers less likely to upgrade their phone.
Israel and Google put a digitized version of the Dead Sea Scrolls online. This is pretty cool.
Search for flights on Google.
The good: Clean interface, super fast.
The bad: No JetBlue.
I like HipMunk, but this is FAAAAST.
I read about one or two Android security problems per day.
Sort of like Gordon, but made by Google. I wonder if there is any relationship. Works well on the examples provided.
