"The search product cycle is coming to an end, however, and if Google wants to become an exciting growth company again--if it wants its stock to become a winning growth stock again--it needs another huge product to pick up where AdWords and AdSense (mostly AdWords) are leaving off. Specifically, to invoke the great growth company of the last tech wave, it needs to find the Office to accompany its Windows (AdWords)."

What is Google's best path forward? Continue to focus on the best ways to organize all the information in the world. Better search results with less effort. Instant gratification, with zero friction between wish and fulfillment. Reorganize the entire Google database as a semantic knowledgebase.

- Robert Scoble
Robert, you are confusing things. having a different opinion on a "term", because it's all about terms and etymology/semiology. (Some people just can't accept the use of "established" words in different situations) is NOT equal to KKK or nazism. I can say that I don't want that the word "marriage" to be used in a different situation without being "racist", intolerant or anything. This said, I'm not even U.S... just my two cents.
- directeur
directeur: I think history will prove you to be on the wrong side of this.
- Robert Scoble
Remember: at one point in our history it was acceptable to own slaves and there were lots who tried to hold back change there too.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, well maybe. I hope you got my point anyways. I myself, am not against or pro anything. I'm just saying that being a "purist" is not obligatory being a bad person.
- directeur
I would rather be on the side of giving people more rights than on the side trying to take them away.
- Robert Scoble
I some some of the same at Winchester and Steven's Creek in San Jose. I flipped them off. :-) Then about an hour later the corners were swarmed with "No on 8" people. It was pretty awesome.
- Jennifer Leggio
Robert, why "insist" on the word "mariage", that's what's puzzling me. Why not invent a law, a procedure, whatnot to regulate (because, mariage if not religious is just a regulation). Look, french invented the PACS
- directeur
"I would rather be on the side of giving people more rights than on the side trying to take them away." Fully agreed.
- Jennifer Leggio
You rock, Scoble!

Right on Robert!!! It's so cool that you are willing to be a voice in all the stuff you are :) I'm a huge fan!

Why not take marriage away altogether and give everyone hetero- and homosexual civil unions? What is it about this word that gives the gay marriage detractors the heebie jeebies? Saying, "It's between a man and a woman!" isn't enough anymore. That's weak.
- Derrick
Derrick: a doctor is someone who do medecine. Marriage is known to be between a man and a women. And again, I'm talking about words and thier use. You still don't know my opinion on the subject :)
- directeur
To give you an example of what I'm saying: in french the word "ecrivain" is used to be the word for "author" be it for men or women. And then some feminists, not even linguists, insisted on the introduction of the word "ecrivaine" as a femal equivalent of "ecrivain". See what I mean?
- directeur
Jennifer made my point, she flipped them off. Brilliant. I guess you are allowed to have an opinion as long as it aligns with your beliefs or you'll "Flip them off". Genius.
- Thomas Capote
from twhirl
Yeah, Robert, it was acceptable to kill slaves because (a) they weren't human and (b) "it's MY property." And it was acceptable to kill Jews in Nazi Germany because (a) they weren't human and (b) "it's OUR country." I think history will prove that you are on the wrong side of abortion, but that doesn't mean I equate you with Nazis or racists or KKK members, like you equate the people...

- Dawn
...maybe we can try to understand the other side instead of just yelling hateful slurs at each other.
- Dawn
"Marriage is known to be between a man and a women." Language isn't set in stone. Definitions change and expand frequently. "Voter" used to mean a white male property owner. Voting was long held to be a male privilege. Should we still honor that interpretation? In many societies marriages are arraigned, in others men are allowed to have multiple wives. "Marriage as a sacred union between a man and woman" is not a universal truism. It's a cultural tradition, and traditions change.
- Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)
@dawn, what studies have been conducted about same sex parents? can you link me?
- Patricia
'isms are about power. Racism is power based on race; sexism is power based on sex. Homophobia is one area where the power structure has not yet been eroded; in many ways, it represents one of the final frontiers of ignorance and, I hope, one which will be conquered in my lifetime. Ensuring a 'no' vote on this law is a small step to that end.
- dkb
See I'm liking Jack's take on it, directeur. I understand that words have meanings and definitions, but language is also fluid and evolving. Queer used to (and still does) mean odd or strange, then because a derogatory word for a homosexual. Then homosexuals adopted and re-appropriated the word in a different light, ie, Queer Studies, etc. I just don't see why people are so hung up over what seems to be the word marriage. If gays/lesbians marry, how does it affect hetero marriages?
- Derrick
Jack, ok, you got it about words. Now tell me when can we say that thing "XXX" can't be accepted? If words evolve that way and we have to accept that fact without studying (because I insist on studying by people who know, people whose job is this: historians, linguists, psychlogists) How can we say that something is not acceptable? or said differently: what's innaceptable and why shouldn't it given your argument?
- directeur
Dawn: I find abortion to be abhorrent but taking away the right to choose is even worse. Same with gay marriage. You do notice ichose to marry a woman, right? But why should you take away the rights of others? Abortion is a tougher one if you believe a fetus has rights, though. So let's stay away from that in this thread.
- Robert Scoble
Derrik, I DO respect the way you talk, and love it sincerly. Not yelling at me with words (given that I'm not giving an opinion but a thought about etymology). Now back to what you've said, I'm again saying that these things have specialists to study them: socilogists, philosphes and so on... don't do other's job. Because if we had that right, why not become all doctors? See what I mean? I mean, you of course have the right to give your opinion, call for "civil rights" (which are given by laws)
- directeur
But at the end we should all refer to profesionals
- directeur
Thanks directeur, I try to play nice with others. My problem with your argument is that while doctors practice medicine, we ALL use language. We ALL communicate. We can't leave the decision to linguists in those terms; to make up our minds for what words can/can't be used. I've always loved language and make up words that become part of my own canon and my friends pick up on it and use them too. Language isn't an object to be owned and possessed.
- Derrick
@Derrick... I've been wondering that for a long time. Government has no business in the marriage business, leave that to churches etc. IF people want to do that. Allow civil unions for any government-protected rights and benefits. It's simply a contract between two people.
- LogEx
Derrik, I do agree. BUT the history and use of words aren't really your job. History is the job of hstorians. Let's talk about "civil rights", in amsterdam, it IS you right to smoke marijuana. and marijuana is not a drug there. Does this mean that you can do this "legally" in the US? No. Are US laws bad on this? You and I don't know, the ones who know are specialists. All in all, what I'm striving to explain is that we folks here do debate freely (as in money). The worthy opinion is specialists one.
- directeur
I guess we'll agree to disagree, directeur. What all of this comes down to, regardless of etymology, is that two people regardless of sex, who want to be married to each other should be able to do so. Thanks for engaging me in the discussion.
- Derrick
@Logical Never mind the people who go to church to only really get married. People look at gays and think that we're sexual deviants who aren't worthy of being married because we're too busy doing banging around. What about the ho-ish straight people? Why do they get a pass? Oh well.
- Derrick
A last word on this thread. I confess, I've tried to subtily see how can someone give an opinion which is not *apparently* shared by the majority without being called a bad person. Derrik, you got my respect! Those of you who made their opinion on an opinion I actually didn't gave should simply smile and take it easy :)
- directeur
directeur - Thanks. I appreciate the compliment.
- Derrick
I think some people who keep insisting that the M word only be between man and woman are just hiding the fact that they object to gay unions in general. It's like saying,"No, we SHOULD educate all the children, no matter how they look, but we must not call THEIR learning institutions "schools!" [edit: fixing the fact I'm over-generalizing, and I hate that stuff]

A lot more jerky than I thought it would be. Also it seems to take a long time for the server to download full resolution versions of all of the images. Cool, but not quite there yet in my eyes. Robert, how did the demos you saw at MS compare to your demo? Were they smoother?
- Jeff P. Henderson
Jeff: they are pretty smooth here. I think the 3D models were more complete in the demo I saw. But I might be wrong. I just uploaded one of my family room and it works pretty well here. I'm running Vista, though. Not sure that matters.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, I'm looking at your family room demo, that is what I was commenting on. I'm running XP. The slow loading of full res photos may be due to a sporadic Comcast connection problem I'm having tonight, although other web pages seem to load reasonably quickly. I guess I'll have to create one of my own to see how it all works. In any event, it really is cool technology.
