Ok, it’s a geeky concept but it amused me!
I like LOLcats a lot…I read Cute Overload (although it gets a bit overly-cute for me at times)…I did a science degree (what do you mean, I’m meant to have done a law degree!?!?)…So I really like this, I’m right there in the middle section!
Honestly, I’m not obsessive, really, they just seem to be pretty active just now!
Google have opened up their internal blog on their public policies, to allow users to see what their views are on various important areas such as privacy, content regulation etc.
Which is pretty interesting, but I’ve got to say, I’m not sure I entirely trust any organisation when they say ‘look how honest and open we’re being’…probably cos I know there are very, very few of them who will be!
But it’s a pretty good attempt to make more transparent the internal workings of a section of a massive corporation.
I use it every day, for work and for pleasure, it’s become an essential part of my daily life ….but what does it look like?
Well, according to researchers at Tel-Aviv University in Israel, it looks like…that.
Prettier than I expected, it looks like the first seconds after the Big Bang! Wonder which dot is Earth… 😉
Link from Popular Science Blog, the link to the original research paper it’s taken from isn’t working just now.
Following on from my late-night musings on Google and privacy, an article from Technology Guardian about the differences between privacy and anonymity.
Just glad I don’t use iTunes either!
