Search results for: “google”

Why are YouTube and Google+ connected? What a terrible decision.

Hoping Apple sees Google Photos and is inspired to add more search algorithms to Photos on OS X.

James Somers: If you’ve ever typed anything into a Google Doc, you can now play it back as if it were a movie — like traveling through time to look over your own shoulder as you write. For a while now Google Docs, or Drive, or Docs Drive, or whatever they are calling it today,…

Google, yesterday: Today, we’re introducing something new. It’s called Inbox. Years in the making, Inbox is by the same people who brought you Gmail, but it’s not Gmail: it’s a completely different type of inbox, designed to focus on what really matters. That “years in the making” part screams “we thought of this before Mailbox but didn’t…

I do not think it is fair to compare Apple’s WWDC keynote with Google’s I/O keynote. It should be fair. But the two simply do not compare. It should be fair because WWDC and I/O are both developer conferences. WWDC and I/O both begin by largely attended, well rehearsed, staged keynotes by top executives at…

Google recently introduced a new self-driving car at Code Conference. This was slightly different than their previous self-driving cars in that they manufactured the entire car as well as the system that drives it. Liz Gannes, at Re/Code: The car — which was conceived and designed by Google, unlike the ones it previously modified —…

I don’t remember ever seeing this; Google’s Newspaper Archive. Wow. /via Coudal.

Brian Otis and Babak Parvis on the Official Google Blog: We’re now testing a smart contact lens that’s built to measure glucose levels in tears using a tiny wireless chip and miniaturized glucose sensor that are embedded between two layers of soft contact lens material. Whatever we think about Google these days this sort of…

Yesterday The Verge revealed that Google “made it really easy for strangers to email you”. Google being Google. No one can out-Google Google. Anyway, TUAW shows how to turn it off.

Just about everyone is saying that the new Google Maps app for iOS is a big win for users. But, one thing that is holding it back from being truly great is the level at which it can be integrated into iOS. Well, here is one tip to open Google Maps with Siri that should…

Gizmodo did a side-by-side comparison of Google’s new Voice Search app on iPhone and Siri. Google wins every single time. I’ve been using Google a bit on my iPhone 5 over the last 24 hours or so and it is blazingly fast. Siri, obviously, is far more integrated into iOS and can open applications, set…

Team Onavo: "Our data experts performed an identical series of activities on Google Maps and Apple Maps that included searching for several US cities, addresses and airports and zooming in and out to locate specific locations. On Google Maps, the average data loaded from the cellular network for each step was 1.3MB. Apple Maps came…

Eric Schmidt, on Google’s self-driving cars: self-driving cars should become the predominant mode of transportation in our lifetime I’m glad he said "should" but if anyone can jinx a project it is Eric Schmidt.

Google recently scuttled a few of their products with very little fanfare. What worries me, and others, is that one day Google Reader will be on this list. I think it is only a matter of time.

I use Google Maps almost daily. Not just for traveling or directions but also to explore the world around me. So, I’m happy that Google is investing time, energy, technology and lots of money into Maps. I’m not too happy about this bit from Frederic Lardinois at AOL Techcrunch: Google doesn’t want to say when…

David Kravets for Wired: Each month, Google removes more than 1 million links to infringing content such as movies, video games, music and software from its search results — with about half of those requests for removal last month coming from Microsoft. Interesting stuff. I’m surprised that number is so low. I’m not surprised that…

Yours truly in August of last year on The plusses and minuses of Google+  – filed under minuses: For any social networking service the single biggest reason they fail is lack of adoption. While Google has become the fastest growing site of-all-time that doesn’t mean that people are using it. In my Circles (get it?)…

Quick, everyone run over to Google and search for blog before this happens.

I’m glad someone is finally saying it. Eric Eldon for Aol/Techcrunch: "That’s not 62 million active users, though — a point that everyone covering these numbers seems to have missed. It’s just the number of total users. And specifically, it’s the number of new surnames that Allen’s team has tracked being created on the service. Because…

The Mac OS X Dashboard is something I seem to use less and less. I think the Dashboard widget is a fantastic way to build small applications or utilities to help people keep track of something, do some quick math, etc. but these widgets don’t seem to get as much attention as they deserve. There…

If you use the Google you may want to add the CDEVROE.com page to your Circles. So, to recap, you can now subscribe to cdevroe.com in the following ways; RSS feed, @cdevroecom on Twitter, Facebook page, Google page, and carrier pigeon (coming soon). Oh, I’ve got a personal account on Twitter, Facebook, and Google too.

It is about time. Paying for things using a phone has been a dream of mine for some time. I’m a debit card type of guy not a cash carrying type of guy. Being able to ditch my wallet altogether and use my phone to pay for something would make things even easier. [Google Wallet](http://google.com/wallet/)…

I saw this and immediately thought of a company that they could buy.

> "Starting today, when obtaining a link to a Google Map using the ‘Link’ button on the upper right-hand corner of the page, you now have the option of obtaining a convenient, shortened link by clicking on the ‘Short URL’ check box. Shortened URLs can make it easier to coordinate events and share maps with…

This might get a little long in the tooth so you may want to top-up that beverage. Google has run me over like a freight train. Over the last few weeks I’ve been living on it instead of Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare. In fact, I made the prediction that Google could replace many of the most…

I have to say, this makes very little sense. It is the Chrome team’s prerogative to add or remove any feature from their browser that they’d like to but the reasons they’ve given simply do not make much sense. At least not from my desk or the desk’s of others. John Gruber, as he typically…

[ad#Adsense: Horiz 468] I’m with Gruber – I have no idea if this will help Google and Logitech sell anymore Google TVs or Logitech Revues but I love this commercial.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Google Instant seeing how I like it so much. I think Google Instant is the best thing to happen to search since "the realtime web" services like Twitter and Facebook added search to their services. These two things are not directly connected – I simply see them both…

Apple vs. Microsoft was a tech war for the ages. The two companies battled each other vigorously. Who won? Some would say Microsoft clearly won based on marketshare while others think they simply sold out and made an inferior product to Apple. However, the clear winner was neither company – it was us, the consumers,…

From the department of ‘I never knew I’d really need that’ comes the latest Google Chrome update that makes it dead simple to translate a Web page from many different languages into your native one. I hadn’t realized how many Web sites I’d been missing out on until this update rolled through. Then I found…

Yesterday Google began to release Google Buzz to its Gmail users. Buzz appears to be a compelling service – especially since it plugs right into something many of us use already. For more information about what Buzz is and does visit the Google Buzz site for a nice demo. I can’t have much more of…

For months I’ve been using Chromium the open source browser that powers Google Chrome. Using Chromium had its advantages and disadvantages. I had the bleeding edge of what was offered by the Chromium team – whether it was stable or not. But, I also had to manually update my personal copy of Chromium on a…
