google

Over the past year I've been attempting to track search engines primarily driven by Bing (and in conjunction with Yahoo), and Google (in conjunction with AOL). Generally I believe there may be an unintended bias on the part of one of these systems --- I'll let you decide which --- that...

Google video will cease to exist on April 29 (not May 13 as I stated elsewhere). If you have videos on Google and have gmail you will have have been notified how to download (in flash format) any videos you may have previously uploaded. I have saved my uploaded videos but there are a lot of...

I give up !!!!! I cannot seem to change anything on my Google home page ... meaning my Google search settings. First, I would like to disable Google Instant. FOREVER! Next, I would like to get into the settings page without it saying that I must allow for cookies. I have tried everything...

A friend of mine recently showed me the following video (I can't post the links in full as I require more posts to obtain the privileges). youtube.com/watch?v=R7yfV6RzE30 After doing a bit of a search, I found a very similar video which was published in 2008 expressing similar concerns...

http://technolog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/02/08/6008117-google-deeply-wishes-jules-verne-happy-birthday This is pretty cool. I've always loved Jules Verne's work. Haven't read one in a long time, I'll have to dig one out.

Anyone checked this out yet? I think it's a great idea; offering virtual tours of the artwork of a wide variety of museums around the world. Oh, most museums have some sort of "tour" available; if only of the current exhibition, but often they are clumsy to use and very limited in scope...

Normally, I'd google to find information about a site that's down, but in this case....

New "Instant Search" on google. I just noticed this today while googling. The always reputable huffingtonpost labeled it as "Radical New Search Feature Makes Google 'Psychic'". I don't know what kind of algorithms google uses, but the whole thing just creeps me out. Google is able to predict...

The news is Google is planning a merger with Verizon and there are some concerns about Net Neutrality being a casualty of this joining... But Alex Jones and his Prison Planet have taken this to a whole new orbit. “Kill The Web” Article That Warned Of Internet Takeover Said merger of Google...

Now, every once in a while, I will enter my gmail and instead of showing me my inbox, it redirects me to this "google accounts" page with a stupid face and a bunch of options, not a single one of those options allows me to check my e-mail. So I'll sign out, and back in but nothing. It's still...

Just read in my local paper that Google Wave has been discontinued. Saw a couple of the vids on it on YouTube and was one of the ones who were underwhelmed (my response could be summed up as "OK, so it's a chat room?"). Anyone try it? Your thoughts?

China renews Google's license to operate its site Wolfman, can you confirm this? This seems like another hopeful sign for China.

Google announced today that they will no longer censor search results in China -- but they are not leaving China. They will get around the legal issues (or attempt to) via a legal technicality, referring the China site through their Hong Kong site (which is not censored). Now, this whole thing...

"Intelligence is Self Teaching" A paranormal experience into A.I and Intelligence. This link is found on the front page of Reddit/Science. http://www.realitysandwich.com/intelligence_self_teaching The article is a personal account of an experience on Ayahuasca, where the purported 'spirit' of...

Source. It really does seem like Google cares:

I know this isn't a new concern, but the potential does seem to grow pretty rapidly: take the launch of the new google phone....google will potentially know your internet browsing habits, your text messages, your emails, your call durations and destinations and your GPS tracked location.... is...

I put this in to social issues because there are some hints of political motivations discussed in thea article (google vs bings response/performance) and because the power google has over our daily lives and how they filter, process and allow access to information. Reading this article has...

Just a quickie - does anyone know why the Google logo today is composed of crop circles? (hovering my mouse pointer over it does nothing)

My brother told me that there will be a Google OS in 2010 and it might be for free as well. Anyone heard of this before?

Beijing Adds Curbs on Access to Internet The communist party is not supposed to be religious, but they do seem to be very puritanical. Is censoring porn because the Chinese are actually that puritanical or because it is a pretext for censoring political speech or both?

If you're bored with the usual Google search, try Google Gravity: you'll have to work just a little bit harder than usual to type in your query. It looks like some very clever JavaScript programming has been going on there.

Does any one know how to link to google maps? I don't mean using the API which embeds an image of a map into the web page. I have two options: (1) Create a hyperlink to maps.google.com and supply either location name or long/lattitude or both. (2) Ideally, submit a search to google maps using...

I am curious if anyone else has used this awesome piece of software, and what they think of it. I (obviously) think it's the bee's knees. I write fantasy, with the various world-building that goes with that, and I initially got the software to do very basic mock-ups of key buildings/places to...

Back in September I posted a blog entry titled "Not just for spam anymore: NOFOLLOW for skepticism". The basic premise of the article is that when a skeptic links to a site that is pushing misinformation (presumably to "debunk" or counter it), the skeptic should be careful to link in such a way...

I am not anti-Google. I think it has a lot going for it. There are alternatives though and I thought I would check a few out. The two I currently use the most are Clusty and Cuil. Anyone got any other suggestions? Well known or obscure. Thanks AgeGap

Hi all, I had an idea today that I thought I'd run past you all to see what you think. Imagine this scenario: A person is watching daytime TV when they come across Sylvia Browne on Montel. They like what they see, and so enter Sylvia Browne into Google. The first hit (and actually the second as...

I have been trying to get a video up on YouTube, but keep getting Cannot Find Server Mesasge. I am on Earthlink, but use the DSL connection through Comcast Cable. I recently noticed that my Adobe Reader and Google Updater would not recieve updates. I finally found the uninstall program for...
