Old designs were not fully explored, ie: Turing's 'intelligent or trainable' machines. This kind of electronics can do those old concepts viable, that's IMO the NEXT BIG THING, not just algorithms (looped circuitry is not hard to simulate, is hard to predict).
The Von newman architecture of our 'computers' was just one possibility, not the only or the best, just the convenient. New hardware processing habilities, could lead to new kinds of maybe not 'programable' in the current sense of the word, but 'trainable' machinery.
The question is: will be see the result in our lives?
I really wish so, but the succes has stalled computer innovation. Thirty years ago we expected to be able to talk to our machines, now those advances can make it finally possible. Will the industry and economics be able to adapt to make it possible in our life time frames?
Google is using open source for his interests, and against the community.
They are taking everything but does not return a proportionate contribution. Just note how they take the kernel, but avoid to contribute to the GUi arena. This will fragmentate even more the free software landscape, and Google it's the only one wining here.
Google is using open source to try to close the internet. The Linux kernel and basic related utilities should be set under the Afero GPL v3 license ASAP!
Big Server gets a lot of request that handles spreading the process in a variable number of machines in paralel. The point is to try to make big servers (aka big companies) an internet necesity, instead of the original intent of the net designers, that is: every IP it's a source of information/processing.
Google, MS, Amazon, etc, etc are making his bests, technologically and politically trying to subvert the nature of the net. It's really sad that Google and others are using open source to try to close the net!:(
That's another example of how Google is [ab]using open source.
They only take the good part. Another example of the need to use the GPL v3 Affero version for any piece of code that could be used on internet.Starting by the Linux kernel and related utilities.
Linus and the FSF should put the Linux kernel and related programs under the Affero GPL v3 license, and force the big ones (ie: Google) to give back a good share of the wealth they made thanks to open sourced programs.
Linus shpuld put the Linux kernel under Affero GPLv3 license, and force those big corporations to give back to the community a decent share of his wealth. Period.
I am tired of films made for all the audience. The plot so simple as to be ridiculous. The players pathetic, (not his fault, just an horrible history that should ever been ever filmed to start with). The effects and sound over-emphasized. And the result, well, if you have 8 years it's a great movie.
This would be outrageous if the top result (not the sponsored link) was for Coke, but its not.
False. Google routinely trumps perfect matches with aproximate ones if they link to big sites. Coincidence? No, money.
The unfair point, is that pople selling web space cannot set a minimun price. Google pays what they want, NOT what they are being paid for web advertising space.
But Google does accurately provide the link to the brand you asked for. It's almost invariably the top link of the actual search results
If I search for my site name (not a real word, just a couple of letters (5)), a very big web social site, with a name similar to mine (1 letter changed), appears always on top. A loose match wins over a perfect match.
Google advertising is not fair, people dispalyng ads shoud be able to fix the minimun price for his web page space. Without this mininum, Google pais whatever they want, not what advertisers are paying for the page space. Someone said 'abusive monopoly'?
I am not so sure about that. The comments say they only patemted the math behind flat and distorted planes. Any time i hear the words 'math' and 'patent' in a single phrase, i get nervous.
Google should return to the open source community a decent OCR app+engine. Tesserac+ocropus are just too little, and it's already too late.
Windows already has decent ocr habilities, any hp scanner comes with decent image to page-document sofware. It's a shame that google, that has been build upon open source and has maybe the best ocr technology in the world, hasn't returned a competitive and free ocr solution for Linux.
The point isn't to memorize an algorithm, dude, the important thing is to understand the algorithm in question. Understanding not memory! There's no copy/paste for reasoning!:)

Thanks, but don't forget the base meaning of 'promise'.
Promises from a convicted mono-polist?
As others have already said: Thanks, but NO thanks.
You'r joking right? That's peanuts.
Buzzword, hype. That's all.

We need to start using the Afero Gpl v3 license, in every pice of software that could be used in the internet. Starting by the Linux kernel ASAP.
It's the only way to stop being used by big companies (they call-it 'cloud computing', what a joke!)
Programs are written in formal languages. Every program is an explicit mathemathical expression.
Hide the code, and your are invalidating the expression, just like showing a math result without stating the formula. That's not science, at all.
It's not about M$ vs G$. Both are big monsters, both are trying to sell you his 'services'.
Let's no mistake, open source is the punch baloon, here.
The need of a broader use of GPL v3 Affero license is becoming evident, just to stop being used by those big and greedy corporations.
That's another example of how Google is [ab]using open source.

Maybe the best free C/C++ IDE. For other languages old & true Netbeans or Eclipse without a doubt, but for C and C++, it's the only one me.
Thanks!

That was intelligence at work. Great example of how a little thinking trumps computational brute force approaches.

Let's also ban assembler code, fine, great!
To ban a function is a symptom of idiocy, plain and simple.

Since Mandrake times, I buy every new version Mandriva sells.
It's open source, and free, so I vote with my pocket. Good work Mandriva!
Google has been build upon free software, now they are just a big abusive monopoly.
Linus should put the Linux kernel under the GPL v3 Affero license. End of Google abuse.
