I'm finding Google Now to be a very cool idea. I know Google is constantly mining my data for ad purposes. Google Now points some of that in my direction. It's still feels like it's in beta, let's hope it doesn't get the Google Axe.

On a side note with Glass and Google Now, I can't help but think Google will want to listen in on my daily conversations and serve relevant ads. Like if I've been talking about how I need to get my oil changed, then Google could send me a coupon to a Jiffy Lube nearby. Or maybe just drive my car there!

P.S. Great place! Congrats on the find.


I agree with this. It reminds me of the guy who, when his family members would as him fix their computers, he would ask them to drop it off. The idea was that he had them "put some skin in the game." It seems that OP did not do that.

Perhaps if OP worded it differently, he may have gotten different results.



Thx. I think Apple had a famous one too.


In the JavaScript file for jQTouch the following comment gave me a good laugh: // Private touch functions (TODO: insert dirty joke)

There's also an array of items to be put in the head of an HTML page:

if (hairextensions) $head.append(hairextensions);


Be seeing you!
