Google + Button Warning

[Percy]

A friend of mine told me that those of you that post on different forums around the internet, you may want to be careful not to say anything bad about google....

The +1 Google button on a page (example a forum page where you are posting) causes a file owned by Google to be loaded. When that file is loaded your IP is recorded along with the date and time. If you post a new thread like this one Google knows you are the first person to trigger that file load meaning you are likely the thread poster.

The same applies for subsequent posts.
Google can then tie your IP to you and to your other online activities when you log into Google products like adsense or adwords. Be careful, just saying anything bad about google on the internet may get your websites wiped from the serps. Big Brother is watching you.


Does anyone know about this or is my friend pulling my leg?


Thanks mates.

Lets test the theory,

Google can kiss my ass, it's as slow as an over weight turtle and just bad bad bad server speed. :grrrrrr:

Google announces Project Tango, a smartphone that can map the world around it

Google announces Project Tango, a smartphone that can map the world around it

Technology is becoming very invasive, instead of becoming symbiotic or augmentative, its less about helping, and more about knowing and im not sure how it makes me feel.

Google has built a prototype Android smartphone that can learn and map the world around it. The device comes from a new initiative called Project Tango, and it's ready to get the phone into developers' hands to see what the technology is capable of. Google says that the phone will learn the dimension of rooms and spaces just by being moved around inside of them — walking around your bedroom, for example, would help the phone learn the shape of your home. The hope is that by creating a robust map of the world, Google's phone could eventually give precise directions to any given point that needs to be reached.

It's an ambitious project, but that should be no surprise given who it's coming from: Tango comes out of the Advanced Technology and Projects group — one of the few pieces of Motorola that Google has opted to hang on to rather than sell. "The goal of Project Tango is to give mobile devices a human-scale understanding of space and motion," Johnny Lee, leader of Project Tango, says. Google has 200 devices that it's preparing to give out to developers who want to build mapping tools, games, and new algorithms that take advantage of the sensor, and it expects to send them all out by March 14th.

The Tango devices work by using a motion tracking camera and a depth sensor built into their backsides. While being moved around, the sensors will detect their orientation and what's in front of them, using that data to build out a 3D map of their surroundings. While the basic goal is to create detailed indoor maps, Google's distribution of developer devices speaks to the other possibilities it sees coming out of this type of data: it suggests that Tango could be used to create more realistic augmented reality games or to assist the visually impaired when they're navigating an unfamiliar area.

Google stresses that the technology is still in early stages, but it still sees it as on the way to reaching millions of people down the road. And now, the Advanced Technology and Projects group will have plenty of time and resources to do that. Alongside the announcement of Tango, Android chief Sundar Pichai extended a welcome to the team, suggesting that they've now fully fallen underneath Google. The group is also responsible for Project Ara, which hopes to build modular smartphones.

Project Tango appears to be a natural fit for Lee's leadership. Lee's name may be familiar from his work creating virtual reality tools out of a Wii remote while at Carnegie Mellon, and later for helping Microsoft develop the Kinect. He joined Google in 2011, and clearly he's still been working on equally ambitious motion-tracking projects since then. Google says it did not create Tango all on its own, however, but with assistance from various universities and research institutions as well.

Since satellites cannot look into homes they are now asking Goggle to do it for them.

Knowing how to do efficient Google searches is a handy life skill to have these days. :writing:
