I don't get their stance ... peer-review is already "anonymous". There are also a lot of issues with truly anonymous user forums (see 2chan and 4chan). For me it always seems as if the social aspects of communication disappea

yes ... it's frustrating. I actually can read Japanese a bit, still even if you are LOGGED in to Google with preference English, they show you the Japanese page. Well done! VPN or TOR to the rescue ...

no except using VPN or Tor :S ... great!

great ... I'm in Japan (signed into Google/Gmail in English) and the whole page is in Japanese without any obvious way. Great Job Google ...! (sorry for the rant, my Japanese is not so bad now, still it annoys me ...happens very o

Not really the right comparison ... more like: you pass a speed control without being flashed and in the next mile you get a ticket. That can happen.

They should employ a proof reader + seems pretty much a public relations department from the universities ... the Augmented Human section mentions none of the really cool tech (and none of the leading researchers in the field). Jun Rekimoto

Actually a lot of people do ... I know people who get their eyes lasered in Turkey for example (in this case it's because the treatment is cheap). Larry Page suggested the Island idea in last year's google IO.

I also don't really understand ... especially Larry Page suggested this. I also don't get the other comment why it would not work. Imagine Google buys couple of Islands and founds it's own state, they could do whatever they w

Why don't they just buy an island make their own country with their own rules?? ;)

Sorry from the movie I cannot see what's the point. Very slick design, nice documentary. Yet, 4 years into the project already and there no implications at all of the research ... There's not breakthrough there's nothing of i

wondering why your comment is down-voted. The reaction of German politicians (CDU and SPD) underlines your point: Since the Snowden leaks they keep quite and hope it passes, because they know they cannot do anything against it (they are in

Is it just me, but I find the name OpenCog terrible. Also it might be helpful to show 1 - 2 tutorials or examples to see what the "framework" actually does.

They also announced a developer program ... I'm actually pretty excited about this.

can you give a reference?
444.
by kgarten 12y ago
Yes of course, I do. Yet, again, I cannot agree with your statement. First, I neither "oppose" Shell nor Google (actually I think Google is a pretty cool company). Still, I find the parody funny and it raises some interesting ques

see the comment above: I would classify Adbusters also as parody (spoof). Depends on your definition. https://www.adbusters.org/spoofads

It depends on the type of parody. Your definition seems to stick to literature parody only. If you extend the definition over literature and text, I think it's important to use the same visuals and pretend to be the company or individ

Again I don't agree with your very narrow definition of parody. Take http://arcticready.com (from the "Yes Men"). For me, it's a parody criticizing shell oil. You can also read more here: http://ww

by kgarten 12y ago
I don't agree. The strength of some parodies or hoaxes is that you use the companies name, this is important to make people think (I believe). Under your definition groups like "The Yes Men" would not be considered parody. h

Thanks. posted the new link (didn't see the English translation first). Yes, true it's not a full fledged smartphone strapped to the head, yet I think the categorization of smart glasses is ok. Did not want to compare them to GG.
