Beyond Phones ...

Google creates a spectacle with project - WTOP.com

Google wants to own the internet and in a way they are. I'm using BING now for my search engine, I think it gives better results then GOOGLE. As for the cell phone for me its BLACKBERRY or NOKIA all the way.

I'd rather shoot myself in the foot than use Bing.

Whats wrong with BING?

Bing was late to the party. Then again, the same could have been said for Google when it came out (I used Altavista search heavily back then)


Google>Bing

So you think Bing came out 'late'. What does that change about the search engine's performance here and now? Do you think AMD's Phenom II x6 was late to the party because they didn't have that to compete with the Pentium 4 when it came out in 2001?

I'm just not interested in those types of glasses... I'm sorry to say it, but it's true. The fast evolution of technology is causing human beings to lose their culture. I miss the old days... People used to pick up a phone and talk to their friends. Or better yet, they would walk to a friend's house and communicate with the person directly. Yes, some changes in technology have made my life better. But, in general, I feel that the quick evolution of tech devices can lead to harmful consequences. (You might laugh at what I'm saying). But I wouldn't underestimate the power of technology. Who knows? Maybe technology will oppose human beings; there might be a war between humans and robots. (Even Stephen Hawking spoke about this).

Bing is second rate until someone offers real reason for me to bother.

The current search engine I use (Google obv) has been getting my search needs for so long now, and I am *always* successful on finding the information I seek with the current choice of search engine.

What does Bing do that Google doesn't do better?

What, lol?

That's better, I was just picking on your weak argument. I use google myself, never bothered with bing.

Google's in with the CIA, I love America but not this shadowy figure even tho I tried to get a job working for them in the late 90's. I'm for the under dog, always have and always will be.
Isn't Google coming out with an operating system?

I think it is good Bing exists because there needs to be competition in search engines, but I really do not like the layout of Bing. Yahoo is on the verge of being dead and Google needs competitors to keep them honest.

Any company achieving monopoly status develops a management culture of mediocrity. It is inevitable because management of any company is done by humans, and complacency is not only a major threat to innovation but irreverisble company culture erosion which is even more dangerous.

(Because if a company culture becomes dominated by a complacency attitude, it cannot be fixed and has negative environmental effects that can last for decades.)

Back to "glasses" topic. I'm not sure if this is the future, but as these devices get smaller they will end up being either worn or implanted in some manner.

If you take a modern iPhone/Android phone, they actually beat a 1998 era computer: 960 x 640 resolution, built-in Wifi internet, sound, video including hardware acceleration, touchpad, several GB to tens of GB of storage.

Apparently these glasses will be using retina tracking and voice commands.
