L'easter egg di Google per Star Wars

Geek   25.11.15  

Mentre decidete di abbracciare il Lato Chiaro della Forza o cedere al Lato Oscuro, provate a cercare "a long time ago in a galaxy far far away", memorabile incipit di Guerre Stellari, su Google: vi si aprirà una particolare versione della pagina con l' effetto a scorrimento tipico dei titoli di apertura di ogni film della saga.

L'alfabeto a partire dalla G

Geek   10.08.15  

What is Alphabet? Alphabet is mostly a collection of companies. The largest of which, of course, is Google. This newer Google is a bit slimmed down, with the companies that are pretty far afield of our main Internet products contained in Alphabet instead. What do we mean by far afield? Good examples are our health efforts: Life Sciences (that works on the glucose-sensing contact lens), and Calico (focused on longevity). Fundamentally, we believe this allows us more management scale, as we can run things independently that aren't very related.

Alphabet, ovvero abc.xyz, è la neonata holding, con al timone Larry Page e Sergey Brin, che da oggi controllerà Google e tutti i suoi progetti collegati (a partire dall'ISP Fiber, dai fondi di capitali e da Google X).
Una ristrutturazione aziendale che si completa con la nomina di Sundar Pichai a nuovo CEO di Mountain View.

I want Google to strive to do that -- not just build technology for certain segments. For me, it matters that we drive technology as an equalizing force, as an enabler for everyone around the world.
Which is why I do want Google to see, push, and invest more in making sure computing is more accessible, connectivity is more accessible. And going back to our core mission, when we do things like machine learning and assist users, I view that as a huge game changer. Because over time, someone who has [access to] just a smartphone hopefully has... the same [capabilities] as someone who is more privileged. That's what's very exciting about what we are doing.

Alphabet prenderà anche il posto di Google Inc. al NASDAQ, ma il simbolo azionario resterà $GOOG; non affannatevi ad aggiornare l'app Borsa.

Google oltre le app

Geek   30.05.15  

La visione di Google per superare un ecosistema mobile basato sulle app. Se non puoi battere l'App Store torna al browser.

Google showed off any number of potentially revolutionary technologies at its I/O developer conference keynote Thursday. There was Jump, a platform for generating 3D virtual reality content, and Brillo, Google's latest entrant into the smart-home horse race. But the company's most important announcement was the evolution of a technology that's nearly three years old. It laid out a course for making apps obsolete and getting users back onto the web, where Google is master. And that course is paved by Google Now.

Il time lapse secondo Google

Geek   18.05.15  

Un team di ricercatori di Google e della University of Washington ha sviluppato un progetto capace di creare time lapse da milioni di foto raccolte tra gli archivi fotografici pubblici presenti sul web.

The team analyzed 86 million photos from social sites, including Flickr and Picasa, and grouped them into landmarks. Then they sorted them by date and "warped" individual photos onto one viewpoint, retouched them a little, and created a stop-motion video showing how a particular landmark has changed over time.
