  1. Re:Sick of it on Yet More Google Gazing · · Score: 0

    Why does parent get modded Flaimbait? ITs more like Insightfull to me. I get tired of people blabbing about google. There are other companies out there trying to do good for the public and their employees, but they don't get the attention they deserve due to behemoths like Google. I was once told that you can't live alone, doesn't that apply to company's that offer you a service? Competition is a good thing, diversity is a good thing. no one person is the same, different folks 'n' different strokes. Do /. readers think that there is only one search engine available on the net which suits everyones needs? C'mon people, you know yourself there's things about google you don't even like, that's why we need alternatives, which will fullfill our need for that service we require. I myself feel that googles search results are fairly poor, If the first 5 or 6 links arn't of any use to you, then certainly the other thousands arn't.
    To get back to the topic, I'm all for targeted advertising, It's adds that have no relevence to what im doing that annoy me. eg. during the olympics, adds for nike and coke,etc.. Why do i need them? I'm sitting on a couch.. I don't need runners or coke, going out to get these products would take me away from what i'm doing. Get the Idea? Wheras with this idea that google wants to deliver ads in relation to what your doing is a great idea. But i don't want to be spyed on, so google will have to change some of the ways it currently gives targeted advertising, ie. Gmail with its reading of topics in emails you send. I think it's time for a agency to be set up to monitor the collection of user data that company's gather.

    You do have to send emails to people using google. therefore whether you use gmail or not, they still no what topic your talking about.

    If google can't find it, It's obviously not interesting enough, popular enough or hasn't been brought from book to web. But think about it this way.. What new information doesn't come out on the web first before print?? So all that can hamper your results there would be googles period of spidering.

    Windows may be easier to get onto 14000 pc's simply because it was most likely on them when they were bought. Keeping windows updated is a bitch though, and expensive. Linux just takes that little bit longer to install on pc's due to driver problems and configuration, but once it's all setup, it's a sinch to update and maintain. And it's one hell of a lot safer aswell
