Topics covered during the show:
- Google takes out a full page ad in the Globe and Mail promoting the value of advertising on Google – we discuss the merits of this ad. Is it a waste of money for Google? Of course they can afford it? Was the ad a joke?… meant to show potential customers how silly it is to advertise in a newspaper?
- Is the Yellow Pages completely dead? Is their online service any good? James says they have a good developer API.
- Why is Microsoft IE 9 using TV ads to advertise a browser?
- Google Fiber rolls out in Kansas City!!! Google is getting into the TV and Internet Service Provider business. Good discussion on the implications of Google Fiber. Google is disrupting industries – Telecom, Maps and more. Now TV and Internet and Same Day Delivery???
- Google Same Day Delivery is a rumour that looks like it is true! Andrew’s theory is that they want to do this to subsidize real time street view. All these delivery Vans with Cameras everywhere. And combating Amazon… for product search. Interesting.
- The Google Car has logged over 300 000 hours without an accident. Well… there was one accident but the driver had apparently taken over control of the car. Would you be more scared of someone in the next lane vs a hacker that might hack the car and crash it?
- James says the Replicator will be in every house in four years. Star Trek discussion ensues. One of our only digressions… Wow! Unbelievable a focussed Bunker Show.
- Marcel says that Google already knows everything about you on the internet and now with Google Car and Glass they will know everything about you offline too!
- Google’s new Algorithm is designed to penalize copyright violators – nobody seems to be against this one… except The Hat Maven. He brings up civil liberty issues.
- Gaming With James – James talks about DRM and how to protect software and games from piracy. Also PTCH the app Andrew is using to make videos of his son. Stay tuned for some short Bunker Show Ptch’s.
