"My fight is not with the iPad, but with the old-school media publishers."

"Slate ad critic Seth Stevenson tries out a Google service that allows you to run your own commercial on national TV for as little as $100."

"The iPhone vision of the mobile Internet’s future omits controversy, sex, and freedom, but includes strict limits on who can know what and who can say what. It’s a sterile Disney-fied walled garden surrounded by sharp-toothed lawyers. The people who create the apps serve at the landlord’s pleasure and fear his anger. I hate it. I hate it even though the iPhone hardware and software are great, because freedom’s not just another word for anything, nor is it an optional ingredient. The big thing about the Web isn’t the technology, it’s that it’s the first-ever platform without a vendor (credit for first pointing this out goes to Dave Winer). From that follows almost everything that matters, and it matters a lot now, to a huge number of people. It’s the only kind of platform I want to help build."

"Overall, Fast Flip just seems like a disappointing product. The cooperation with content producers is interesting, though we wonder if a single AdSense unit on the site will really make newspapers any money. Google Reader or personalized applications like my6sense on the iPhone or feedly on the desktop just seem far more interesting and usable than browsing through a series of screenshots."

"The Data Liberation Front is an engineering team at Google whose singular goal is to make it easier for users to move their data in and out of Google products. We do this because we believe that you should be able to export any data that you create in (or import into) a product.

"This Google resource brings together the latest industry facts and insights. These have been collected from a number of third party sources covering a range of topics from macroscopic economic and media trends to how consumer behaviour and technology are changing over time."

"Woher kommt diese seltsame, diffuse Angst vor etwas, das weder gesundheitliche Probleme verursacht noch das persönliche Wohlbefinden beeinflusst? Diese Prinzipienreiterei mit meist abstrus konstruierten Geschichten, was da so alles passieren könnte, oder seltensten Einzelfällen (”nicht anonymisierter Mann vor Sexshop”)? Oder ists einfach pure Eitelkeit? Welche übertrieben extensive Auslegung von “Privatsphäre” oder “Persönlicher Freiheit” liegt einer solchen Attitüde zugrunde? Wieso gibts keinen Aufschrei, wenn die Tagesschau Strassen-Alltagsszenen sendet oder Zeitungen klar erkennbare Personen in Menschenansammlungen abdrucken, was täglich zig-fach vorkommt.."

"Type in a search query above, hit search then vote for the column which you believe best matches your query. The columns are randomised with every query. The goal of this site is simple, we want to see what happens when you remove the branding from search engines. How differently will you perceive the results?"

Google says this data center has slots for over 45,000 servers in 45 containers."

"By default all videos on YouTube and embedded on other sites load at normal quality, but there's a way to set your default viewing quality to high, link to high quality video, embed HQ video, and even save HQ videos for later viewing."

must see technology... makes tv and video archives a strong competitor of print archives. searchable text isn't a print exclusive anymore.

..smart move.. publishers will quit their whining as soon as they realize that google will make more money for them out of their content as they could do it alone.. it's already happening with copyright protected videos being published on youtube.. "piracy" sounds rather ridicolous from this perspective: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/youtube_pirate_business.php
