What other researches are they looking into (if any) that we might not be aware of. I didn't have a clue about the cheaper energy research :-) It’s nice to see google looking into research such as cheaper energy.

I didn't mind having people added to my google talk automatically, but now thanks to an under-thought feature I'm invading their personal google reader space! It's ugly, it's bad, and I think Google has jumped the shark here. Why where there no controls before exposing my personal info? I really think this is 100 times worse than facebook beacon. Ok beacon was bad too, but at least it wasn't a problem for me and tthey had a post the fact method to opt-out. Reader isn't giving me any of that. I have to erase all my shared posts in order not to invade someone else's space. Bad Google, bad. Today something broke in our relationship. I feel very bad about the last google reader “feature”.

Is there a good reason for the entire address from the terrain map to get automatically inserted into my toolbar search box every time I visit this page? Dave Matt…

I have GPS via bluetooth so I never felt the need for this other than when I didnt have my GPS unit with me. Now if i turn on Google Maps it basically centers around where I am which is handy. So, well one Google. But, that it. thats all it does. So I guess it got a bit more media coverage than it deserved, considering other products coming out of Google. ---- Future Converged http://www.futureconverged.com “Google Maps for Mobile added the ability to locate your phone even if you don’t have GPS”

I can see it now, by 2012 ALL new Google datacenters will be 100% off the grid. Outstanding! :) Thanks MWA and Matt, yeah that Matt, “high-altitude wind-power generation” and solar thermal to replace coal can and will lower emissions now that Google is creating the buzz.

They had several errors (the place where I live is shown as a lake), but overall they were a welcomed improvement. Hope they appear again. Regards Javier Matt,
