Pure Marketing BS

Were smartpho[citation][nom]g00fysmiley[/nom]i can see it used for some things but if you think the government can anylize all peices of data even on facebook alone then i have a bridge to sell you. unless facial recognition software gets a hti of a person of interest in your pictures then you are probably fine[/citation]
sell yourself your imaginary bridge because you are badly misinformed my friend:

--> 22m:21s (robust social graph of the united states... also see timepoint linked below)

desire of govt to eradicate anonymity --> http://youtu.be/sKOk4Y4inVY?t=18m38s
the beginning of the nightmare --> http://youtu.be/sKOk4Y4inVY?t=14m48s

my suggestion is to stop relying on corporate media sources for your "news"

How about learning to coherently type?

And you NWO nutters want intelligent people to take you seriously? lmfao.

Oh and before you call me a sheep or some brainwashed into your head line, a quick look at my previous comments shows otherwise.

well unfortunately Kami3k, many people only have a 3 minute attention span.
Had I expected to encounter an actual thinker/intellectual I would have linked the video.

I would LOVE to see you critique that talk linked.
I would LOVE to see your dissection of that wired article.

last piece of advice on your predilection towards the use of the "nutter" term, you should cut it out because it makes you look childish.
 
Try this Google search out Kami3k --> at&t san franscisco NSA

I'm still not sold on voice control. If I had to put it into words, it's the Vista of UI controls. It's something that is/was touted as the next best thing, but you either love it or hate it and there is always a better system that effort could be put into.

A Serial Experiments Lain reference. You have my respect and are my new best friend.
 
Great, You have just returned from a long business trip and your girlfriend picks you up at the airport, you are wearing google glasses when she greets you with a big smile, the goole facial recognition software cloud servers, scans its facial recognition database and BAM! the ads for prophylactics begin to appear.
 
[citation][nom]dalethepcman[/nom]Because everyone knows pc webcams and smartphones cameras can't be hacked. Glasses though, that's a huge privacy issue...http://preview.tinyurl.com/bxh3sny[/citation]
are you really trying to equate a phone camera that sits in your pocket most of the time, or on a table aiming straight up, to a camera that literally sees everything you look at? ...including your hands typing passwords onto your keyboard ...think about that... everything you look at, known.

people believe that they will haveprivacy with this thing... WOW.

The point he was seemingly trying to make is that the ideal search technology would surface information before the user even asks for it.[/citation]

Yes, it's called ADVERTISEMENT.

You are being sarcastic here, right ?
 
Ah the hypocrisy. He says that smartphones are emasculating, yet he is part of a multi-billion dollar company which received, and continues to receive, huge amounts of money from sales of Nexus devices. lol
 
Imagine about your privacy. If u are using it, google can track u 24/7 and see what u r looking and later sell these images/infos/videos to the third party for any purpose.

I'm not against the tech and new ideas but have to be very careful with this kind of technology coz it can invade privacy of you and the people around u.
 
[citation][nom]monkeymonk[/nom]Has anyone thought about the potential harm from having radio waves sent through your brain to a device on your head?[/citation]

It probably gives a slight increase in cancer rates, but it might get worse as we increase the amount and intensity/power of radiation around us with more and more powerful wireless devices in higher and higher numbers.
 
Any shrink will tell you beard men feel insecure, so I'm not surprised that Brin feels like his manhood is being attacked by smartphones since he most likely feels like that about anything.
Also, how does he not realize that half (/more?) of the smartphone users are women? 😉
