"Canadians do it way beter"
False. Canadian spell check failed you.
"Canadians just tend to be better at everything, only exception being the summer Olympics. "
Tell that to Lance Armstrong. He may just steal one of your cahones in your sleep.
The places I've seen have a board that's slotted to use a pizza guillotine cutter to cut it. I think.
I call this Tuesdays and Thursdays. And I hate both of those days.
I'm pretty sure you can delete your account.
"Way to dredge an old comment from the dead ;) "
This is weird as hell. This just popped up on Google Reader for me. I'm in a time warp! As far as Yahoo, it comes up with Google first, Yahoo second, and Dogpile third.
If I might ask for a citation, but where recently have they made reference to their motto?
I just seem to think that the term "evil" in this context is vastly overstated. It's not like Google is a warlord starving children. "Evil" is a pretty fuzzy thing. To a lot of people, advertising is evil. That's what their golden egg is. I don't see things in which I have the choice to opt out of as inherently evil.
Interesting little experiment I was thinking of. Searching for "search" on either Bing or Google. The results are interesting. The number one result in Google? Bing. The number one result in Bing? Google.
Madness!
How do you find what they've been doing evil? This isn't necessarily a "value added" thing, you can turn it off. Manufacturing and information don't necessarily share the same values, because one is tangible and the other isn't.
Well, not being logged in is the GD default. Problem solved!
I think my favorite part is that this article is little more than a quote used to juxtapose an opinion piece. At this very website. It's an article to link to another article at the same website. Double the hits!
I will admit to skimming the article, but that still doesn't answer the question of why the current incarnation of the trackpad needs to be modified and what the gain would be for this.
One more thing: Full surface trackpad
Who the fudge would want this? Really? Where would you rest your palms while typing? Would there be a magical software thingy that detects palm touch versus finger touch? Why is the current trackpad inadequate in any reason?
Honestly, the Google ads I've seen in the past year have been more relevant than anything Apple's done since the Super Bowl ad. All they've put out between then is a way of introducing their products with copious amounts of snark. Google produced commercials that have an honest to goodness human element in them. I haven't seen that in an Apple commercial since that girl talking about her Mac.
Yeah, the reasoning behind this article is strange. Google isn't selling a phone right now, at all. They're selling an OS. If Google were to design both the phone and the OS, it'd probably be a little bit of a different user experience. And it seems at places in this article they're using Google not having done something as a negative when it just means that they haven't done it yet.
I'm of the same mindset. My justification in thinking this is that at the moment, a 30" monitor can go for around $400-$500 if it's 1080P. If it's one of the 2560x1600 monstrosities, it basically doubles in price. There's not enough of a reason to make that much of a cost commitment.
How did he get it wrong?
Doesn't Iris just forward you the query that you'd get if you went to ChaCha? Because I went to ChaCha, typed in "Is Satan Real?" and I was given precisely the result up at the top. All this application does is voice capture, query the website, and then do text to speech on that answer. The article's headline makes it seem like the application is the story, when in reality the site is the story. The application is just a conduit to the site. That's like saying that Wikipedia is racist because it has an article containing racist statements.
I would make the distinction that this is not Android's Siri rival, more than this is an Android Siri rival. The headline makes it sound like it's affiliated with the OS and not just a separate application.
No need for forgiveness, just a point of clarification. That's all. Just in case someone's looking for a Bluetooth SD Card at some point.
