Google collects more information about Internet users than any other company. From now search results will be "personalized, even without the consent of the user. SPIEGEL ONLINE explains how you can escape the mania for collecting data of the Group. - sofarsoShawn

"Obama Administration lawyers are likely still scratching their heads over how to respond to an extraordinary ruling in San Francisco.

Nice to see this though I'm struck that it still seems early days to be disappointed with the administration. He's not killed nearly as many people as the other guy so I'm still thinking he's ahead :) - winckel

5 Fabulous New Features Google Unveiled Today
"Google is holding a major demo event at the Computer History Museum today and unveiled a number of incredible new features. It was the kind of event that restores a person's faith in Google as a major innovator. From voice search and translation, to location and visual search, here are the five most impressive technologies unveiled so far. The demos are all being done by Vic Gundotra, vice president of engineering for Google. googlesearchevent.jpg Near Instant Voice Translation A new prototyped product allows not just search by voice, but near instant translation between English and Spanish in the cloud, via your mobile phone. Gundotrpha spoke a paragraph's worth of words into his phone and within seconds the phone recited a translated version back in Spanish. It was amazing. Google hopes to have support for all the world's major languages completed sometime in 2010. Customized Suggest Based on Location Google Suggest is a very smart, if under-appreciated, feature. The feature will... more... - sofarsoShawn

Google Goggles 'visual search' arrives for Android | Search with a picture and not words
" Google has announced a visual search application for Android phones called Google Goggles, allowing users to point their phone at anything, from buildings and landmarks to business cards and papers and search for it. It's an idea that's been brewing at Google for a while. As Marissa Mayer wrote in October 2008: "Why can't I enter my query as a picture of the birds overhead and have the search engine identify what kind of bird it is? Why can't I capture a snippet of audio and have the search engine identify and analyse it?" Well, now you can. News of the service arrived this week, but the product will be available on Google Labs as of right now, and, as you might expect, is free of charge. Google Goggles is described by the search giants as a 'new visual search application for Android devices which allows you to search with a picture instead of words'. "When you take a picture of an object with the camera on your phone, we attempt to recognise the item, and return relevant search... more... - sofarsoShawn

Despite Obama's mediocre performance with number's like this Democrats need not worry AT ALL - sofarsoShawn
The chances of any of those being nominated in the first place are slim to none. With Obama performing this bad in his first year, the GOP shouldn't have to worry much as long as they pick a real conservative candidate. - Spencer
ROTFLMAO! This is the contenders? Well then again its two years before they have to declare. Hopefully a SERIOUS candidate will come forward in this circus. - CW™
I guess the GOP is happy as the Nascar party consigned to a role of permanent minority... - WarLord

Chrome OS security will make Google's ads inescapable ~ that's the kill switch on this OS do NOT WANT (via @scepticgeek)
"We've all gotten a good look at the very, very early stages of Chrome OS. While there's been plenty of "meh" going around, truth is that it's really much, much too early to pass judgement. It's going to be about a year until we see something finished, after all, and Google has already said things will change quite a bit by that time. One feature of Chrome OS that has been praised is its "totally new" approach to security. Chrome OS is going to self-heal, we're told. If the OS detects something malicious, a reboot simply restores files to their previous state as if nothing ever happened. Now, this raises an interesting point. It's Google's OS, so obviously they'll be making the call as to what is or isn't malicious. Suppose they decide that includes anything which interferes with the delivery of Google-powered content. Things like the AdBlock or AdSweep extensions for the Chrome browser, for example. Heck, first they'd have to make it into Google's Extension Gallery - Google could... more... - sofarsoShawn
Were it a closed OS, it would never succeed doing those things. As it's open, it won't survive doing those things, either. Or so I hope, anyway. - alex falkenberg
That's totally true. Fingers crossed on that. - sofarsoShawn
Blocking the extension, they had to do it carefully to keep their good image as “a friend” though. They won’t want to be undermined like AppStore’s case. About Chrome’s open-source-ness, Google still had the power controlling main distribution channels for the OS and controlling which codes got accepted to the main don’t they? - Natsuki Seika
That's what I figured as well, especially considering the "open sourceness" they claim with the chrome browser (ie uh ohz we "forgot" to mention we log your key strokes in the EULA) Google web apps/sites run peculiarly fast via Chrome vs Explorer & Firefox. & wait yet furthermore now that Google's programming Go-code is now in play - sofarsoShawn
sofarsoShawn: It really states that in the EULA? Where at? Thats nuts. - Joshua

"Jealous of the easy media management of iTunes, but don't use an iPod/iPhone? Then this is the app for you! </tv announcer voice> Seriously, though. doubleTwist is a great app for managing your music, photos and music and syncing them between your desktop (Mac or Windows) and your Android phone. It also converts videos and music files to compatible formats when syncing to your device (I haven't tested this). Also has Amazon MP3 store integration for easy browsing and purchase of unencumbered audio files. Highly recommended." Thx to Huebel for the share. - sofarsoShawn
