like food and water, my posting has no intrinsic value

i was near a google local advertising lounge thing set up in a nyc mall. a homeless guy saw it, laughed, and said that computers will gently caress up your mind.

should i buy or short sell google?

do you think he meant that computers would destroy your attention span, concentration and long term memory or that they are a tool of the government and/or reptile men to control the masses?

Brin is now taking a 10-second video of his interviewers with Glass. It is awkward in the exact same way that it is always annoying when someone uses Glass in your presence.



"Here's my hotel key, Walt, for later," Brin says, after it falls out of his pocket. "I'll keep the Glass off — I promise." WHAT IS HAPPENING

ever since the bush admin pulled a hard 180 on the microsoft case the tech industry has just been one gigantic tying orgy.

apple does/did it with the exclusivity of itunes to the idevices (and vice versa) and the in-app payment rules in the app store. google does it with everything and google search. amazon is trying real hard to get users to try their video streaming service by tying it to free 2 day shipping. microsoft is trying to break into single sign-on (again) by requiring you to sign up for a Microsoft Account in Win 8.

it has gotten so bad that the only way to have any chance at breaking into an occupied tech market sector now is to be one of the other monopolistic companies (like apple and ebooks) and the end-game of nearly all startups is to to hope like hell the big tech companies decide to acquire you instead of rolling out their own service via the tying of it to their major strength (what are the odds that spotify continues to exist after apple/google roll out integrated streaming services?).

the ruling against Microsoft did only harm and absolutely nothing positive.

google isnt going to make money licensing this technology to car manufacturers because they aren't going to give up margin when they've all been working on the same tech for a long time

the alternative is google gets into the highly competitive capex heavy business of being a car company lmao

Brin says he posts pictures of his kids to family. "I don't connect with a lot of people. I'm kind of weirdo. It was probably a mistake for me to be working on anything tangentially related to social to begin with."

"We already have a fleet of a million satellites — just kidding," Brin says. Nothing he can announce today. Swisher: "You would make a great Bond villain." "Also I can't talk about the Fembot project," he says.

Good grief..

Couldn't they have let the Italians or the Germans do the styling? For Christ sake that thing looks comically awful.

Not to mention hilariously impractical for anything but the smoothest of urban roads.
