The Google Monster cometh..





http://www.idorosen.com:80/mirrors/robinsloan.com/epic/ols-mattrobin-flash.swf

An old link, but interesting nevertheless.
This is an 8MB flash file which talks about how Google is going to take over all kinds of media. It predicts the doom of Microsoft, Operating systems, Online Shopping sites and The New York Times.

???? !!!

Personally, I think this is a perfect example of Googlemania gone overboard. You're not going use a GoogleOS, GPhone or a GPod or GPal in the next 5 years. I'd love to be proved wrong. Google and its toys do fascinate me, but lets not get carried away.

Google's core competency is about search and organizing the mess that is the world wide web. They're definitely going to bring out new innovations in all kinds of search - Image search, Newsgroup Search, Product Search, Map Search etc. Gmail too is about organizing your mails and being able to find just about anything in your 2GB inbox.
But to go as far as saying they're building a supercomputer or state of the art OS thats gonna replace your PC is just nonsense. Sure, Rob Pike - the OS researcher, the member of the original Unix team from Bell Labs has moved to Google. But I seriously doubt if his role there is to architect the rumored GoogleOS.

Thanks Φ !

Pulp fiction is a lesson in life and also in screenplay. To tell you the truth, I like the Jules character more but I couldn't find a bad-ass enough Jules avatar ;) (Vincent Vega also has a nice ring to it as opposed to Jules Winnfield!)

Anyway, I'm happy it brought you here. Keep visiting :)

My favorite quote? Its hard to pick one.

I like the one where they talk about 'Divine Intervention'.

Vincent: Do you wanna continue this theological discussion in the car, or at the jailhouse with the cops?
Jules: We should be fuckin' dead now, my friend! We just witnessed a miracle, and I want you to fucking acknowledge it!
Vincent: Okay man, it was a miracle, can we leave now?


and also Jules explaining Ezekiel 25:17 in the end.

"I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a mf before you popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice..."

Mr.Wolf is the real bad ass mf. :D

"So pretty please, with sugar on top, clean the fuckin' car."


Damn, this is so off-topic. :)

Beer and Chicken :) Ahh ... There's a lot of movies that go well with that combo.
But a dear "friend" of mine would tend to disagree with some movies on that list. ;)
