Hey does anyone know much about Google ads? There's a site that I loooove but it takes ~30s to load. This seems outrageously excessive. It makes me suspect that something's not optimized as well as it could be. I've talked the owner but he's not really knowledgeable about the technicalities...

I had to deliver a presentation last week. As I didn't have access to MS Office, I decided I'd do my presentation on Google docs. The interface itself is very good and I am used to it. We were told to bring our presentations on a flash drive to insert into the computer connected to the...

In Google maps, go to these coords: 14.00954N 120.9962E and In Google maps, go to these coords: 14.00954N 120.9962E and zoom all the way in. That's a tiny island. In a lake. On an island. In a lake. On an island. In the ocean. Islandception!

So I've been in the processing of interviewing with a bunch of different places for summer internships, but it seems like this whole process is about to get wrapped up in the next few days. The catalyst: I got an offer from SLAC for DOEs SULI program. Needless to say, I'm very excited. However...

IBM's Watson looks very impressive...But try using Google for the Answers or hints on Jeopardy. Guess what, if you had access to Google you'd score on Jeopardy! So what Watson appears to be doing is performing a search with something similar to Google and then parsing out the search hit results...

http://www.forbes.com/sites/ericjackson/2011/10/28/why-siri-is-a-google-killer/" It appears Apple's claim that consumers will prefer a friendly assistant with voice interface to a keyboard. Based on their track record, to dismiss that claim would be foolhardy, IMHO. From the...

so when someone googles my name some embarrassing posts come up on a forum I post on, since one of the members figured out my name and posted my name on the forum. The guys that run the forum are jerks and will probably just make it worse if they found out that I was bothered by it (suck I...

Google image search is the best place when searching for images on something. But I have always thought, "What if I have an image and I need to find out what it is about." Shazam works well for audio, but Google has finally done it with images. I noticed a week ago that you could drop images in...

To me, and maybe this is just me hating a large corporation, but for some reason, I just have a disdain for Google. Maybe cause I'm jealous that I don't work for them? But I just don't trust this organization. I don't like the idea of large corporations with so much power and money, and google...

In the registration process they say that the payee must be 18 years of age or older to register, but I was wondering if someone under 18 could register using a custodial bank account, since technically (i think) the true payee is the adult who started the custodial account for the minor. Would...

I have noticed with growing frequency that many things posted on PF come up when doing tangential searches for other information with increasing frequency. I am not complaining, this is a great thing and Greg and all the staff at PF should be proud. An example...

I'm interested in browsing Usenet archives for a couple groups from roughly 1996-1999. Google has them, and they let me browse through in a terribly slow fashion, viewing 30 or so topics at a time, ordered based on the last update of the post in the topic (IE, if someone posted a topic in...

A few professors have tried to show me how to look up articles using the traditional sources (such as web of science). But yet, I've grown up on google and I've grown so accustomed to believing that Google has everything, even though it probably doesn't. Are there a lot of articles that don't...

Anyone heard of it ? With all the intelligent minds here on PF I bet we could win it and make some serious $$$$$$$$$$$$. The lunar X competition doesn't seem that complicated.

There’s a google interview question that’s been discussed quite a bit in various forums recently. The question is: There is a certain country where everybody has to have a son. Therefore each couple keeps having children until they have a boy, then they stop. In expectation, what fraction...

Free means more user, but I doubt it's going to be more profitable, as you may have already seen, no matter how much money Apple put in reinforcing the jail, people manage to break it. And we all know what card Apple is holding, rich people that see 10 bucks as 1 buck, 1 buck as virtually...

Google claims it was totally inadvertent that they collected wi fi data using their street view camera vehicles. Personally I can't bring myself to believe that. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2363835,00.asp This was first revealed May but for some reason is just now hitting the...

So, this is how Google obtains street-view images for its maps: http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2010/05/28/technology/28google-inline1.html (I've been wondering.) Why bicycle, though? Wouldn't a motorcycle be faster?

OK, I think it's clever that Google changes its home page now and then, to honor a holiday or other significant event. But today's is just annoying. It's Pac-Man's 30th birthday...fine, a big *yawn* from me but I liked the graphic. But if you leave the home page up for a few minutes, the...
