why, paranoia?

first impression of the google desktop, it seems to be highly user oriented. giving access to what a user would want on the desktop quickly.

but like the man says, encrypting the search index sure slows the system down.

the sidebar is kind of bothersome. but i like the way it can be customised.
the deskbar/floating or nonfloating is nice.

the scary part was that things which are supposed to be private suddenly appeares on your sidebar the first time you install the application.

a nice feature which i have not yet tried out is sharing the index between multiple pc which one would tend to use. i can see this being a kind of iffy where security is concerend.(hey remember i have not tried this out yet and have no intention of trying it either).

i think i may give it a shot. use it for a longer period of time. or should i wait for a version which can boot up the pc at 0900 hrs in the morning, automatically answer all my mails, handle all my telephone followup's, remotely attend all my meetings, and hit the bar at about 1900hrs and call it a day by about 2400 hrs, while i am roaming around the best beaches in the world, catching up with my reading and music.

this day does not seem very far off, what with softwares/programs analysing your browser cache, and deciding your preferences etc and showing you content tailored to meet your needs. it must be a minor tweak to finetune the software to start thinking and acting like you.

when i wrote this in feb 2005, i was going for the humor part of it. but now it look like, it aint funny nomore.

the world being taken over google style. "rumours mount over googles internet plan" read more about it here.

taking off on THAT article, my thoughts follow, Mr.Google please note this is just my creation and i own all rights to these ideas, and if you plan to use any of these you, i am ready to license these ideas to you on a per click basis.(i am launching mysense ad revenue sharing product)

i have the inside dope on the what the google wizards are working on for the future , these are a few of the essential technologies they are working on

a) hyper-drive - essential tool for delivering space travel at the click of a button, will be available as a beta download by the January 2010,
minimum system requirements: G-o/s (google-operating system version 12, patched for hyper-jumps), google space cube human interface hardware, memory requirement : enough to remember history of the last 2 millennium. disk capacity : latest adenine-thymine drives with atleast 240 strands of unused DNA.

b) positronic brains - why hire smart people when you can design brains which are built for one purpose ie. work on world domination by google. the positronic pathway are already in pre-alpha testing. the design document states,that, the positronic brains are not ment to be mobile and walk off from the Google headquarters, so they have skipped the robot exo-skeleton in the design. this is just the BRAINS. wonder if this will close the gates for bill.

c) "Google Guide to the galaxy" : they have already tied up with douglas adams descendants for royalties, they would pay 1 cent for every million copies of the guide sold. this will be the definitive guide to everything this and that side of "The Deep Web", the marketing department is working on a galactic release of "the Guide" (a few of you may have worked on a new tool recently, "Google earth" this is the precursor to the ultimate Guide, thank you for contributing your time in the development of "The Guide")

"Don't Panic: Google instead"

The answer is still 42.

I,Human

i have been reading, and reading stuff which i had read a long time back. While reading "I,Robot" and "Robots and Empire", i was kind of engrossed in the conflict which daneel and giskard get into. i thought it was about time that we get down to defining the 3 laws of humanity. i am using the 3 laws of robotics as a basis for the 3 laws of humanity as they seem to have severed robots quite well.

0. a human may not injure humanity, or, through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.
1. a human may not injure a human being or, through inaction,allow a human being to come to harm.
2. a human must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the Zeroth or First Law.

as you can see that i have used the zeroth law and i have dropped the 2nd law of robotics. the 3 laws of Humanity now look workable.

essentially if you look at the 3 laws being extrapolated here, you would see that this would be basis for any kind of utopian living. simplifying thoughts and ideas from the past, the basic 3 laws of humanity have been around for a long time. and example (refer to the wikipedia article) on utopianism.

The Krita Yuga, the First and Perfect Age, as described in the Mahabharata, an old Hindu epic:

[...] Men neither bought nor sold; there were no poor and no rich;there was no need to labour, because all that men required was obtained by the power of will; the chief virtue was the abandonment of all worldly desires. The Krita Yuga was without disease; there was no lessening with the years; there was no hatred or vanity, or evil thought whatsoever; no sorrow, no fear. All mankind could attain to supreme blessedness. [...]
