FKA twigs met à l'honneur les Google Glass dans une nouvelle performance scénique. MUSIQUE- La nouvelle égérie du R&B, FKA twigs, publiait le 20 octobre une nouvelle vidéo d'elle assez fascinante. Dans cette courte vidéo, elle y met à l'honneur le nouveau produit hautement high-tech: les Google Glass.

Intitulée "#ThroughGlass", la vidéo est signée FKA twigs elle-même. Réalisée spécifiquement pour le célèbre moteur de recherche, on y découvre la jeune anglaise de 26 ans danser seule devant un miroir sur ses morceaux phares Video Girl et Glass & Patron (issus de son premier album LP1). D'autres danseuses la rejoignent par la suite pour une chorégraphie des plus originales. Arborant les Google Glass, elle réussit à en faire un accessoire particulièrement tendance. Au vu de la monture de ces lunettes, le défi n'était pas gagné tant elles pourraient faire passer n'importe qui pour un cyborg.

TECHNO - Les passagers du train iDTGV Paris - Béziers vont avoir une surprise ce jeudi 23 octobre: les agents qui contrôleront leurs billets à l’embarquement seront équipés de Google Glass. Une première pour la filiale de la SNCF qui, comme d’autres entreprises françaises, s’intéresse aux lunettes connectées et à l'attrait du public pour ces dernières. Sur le quai de la gare de Lyon ce jeudi midi, 6 contrôleurs scanneront les billets des voyageurs du train iDTGV n°2923 avec leurs assistants personnels.

Jusque-là rien ne change. Mais une fois le billet scanné, les informations sur le passager apparaîtront sur les Google Glass des agents: une coche verte si le billet est valide, une croix rouge en cas de problème. Proposé par Ministère de l'Education Nationale Les contrôleurs verront aussi s’afficher dans le coin supérieur droit de leurs lunettes, le nom de l’usager, son numéro de siège et une petite indication spéciale si c’est son anniversaire par exemple.

Un test pour l’image? Don't expect Google Glass to launch anytime soon. A consumer launch for Google Glass doesn't appear to be happening anytime soon, with Google saying it's in no rush to release a finished product. “We are as committed as ever to a consumer launch. That is going to take time and we are not going to launch this product until it’s absolutely ready,” Chris O'Neill, Google's head of business operations for Glass, told Reuters. An unnamed source said that 2015 is the “most likely” time frame, but didn't get any more specific. Google co-founder Sergey Brin previously said he was hoping for a launch this year. The new comments were part of a larger Reuters story on the problems Google is facing with Glass. Meanwhile, several high-profile Glass executives have left Google this year, and some developers say the market is too small to justify continued app support. Why this matters: Google says it still has hundreds of people working on Glass, including former Calvin Klein executive Ivy Ross, and is “energized” about the product.

The Eight Pillars of Innovation. How does a company like Google continue to grow exponentially while still staying innovative? Susan Wojcicki, Google's Senior Vice President of Advertising, discusses some of the processes and principles in place to make sure that the company doesn't get bogged down in the past as it keeps moving forward. Written by Susan Wojcicki Published July 2011 Topics Consumer Electronics Put Google research and insight behind your thinking Subscribe The greatest innovations are the ones we take for granted, like light bulbs, refrigeration and penicillin. Nurturing a culture that allows for innovation is the key. At that time I was Head of Marketing (a group of one), and over the past decade I’ve been lucky enough to work on a wide range of products. What’s different is that, even as we dream up what’s next, we face the classic innovator’s dilemma: should we invest in brand new products, or should we improve existing ones?

A Lesson from Google on Marketing Innovation. Google Still Committed To Google Glass, But Many Developers Have Abandoned Their Apps. Is Google The Most Innovative Company of 2014? - The Fox Is Black. A few weeks ago Fast Company published an article naming the 50 most innovative companies of 2014, claiming that their “staff has spent more than six months gathering and analyzing data.” Landing at the top of the heap was Google, the worlds leading search engine operator who uses our information to sell display ads to corporations. Here’s Fast Company’s take on Google. As the cost per click–the rate advertisers pay for an online ad–continues declining, Google is pursuing projects that could reinvent the company–and society.

For its breadth, ambition, and relentless spirit to keep creating the future, Google tops our 2014 list of the Most Innovative Companies in business. The emphasis in that paragraph is my own, and I think it’s the most telling part. To me, these are really poor examples of innovation. If you look up the word innovation it’s “the application of better solutions that meet new requirements, unarticulated needs, or existing market needs. Is Google the Most Innovative Company in the World? Innovation is often thought to be the life of the startup. The madcap entrepreneurs and fearless youngsters throwing themselves into changing the world, with faith and hope and a little craziness. The talk is of disrupting the industry and shaking things up. These are the people with nothing to lose, with their whole lives ahead of them, looking forward, never backward. Big corporations are mostly seen at the other end of the spectrum. They are sometimes accused of focusing on profit and shareholders over their customers, and innovation isn’t often high on the list of priorities.

But for some global brands, they do try new things. A long list of success… and failures The list of Google’s innovations, some of which have been successful but many that haven’t, is long and incredibly varied. Other Google innovations are big, visibly “new” things, that have made or will possibly make our lives completely different. Today’s gimmick… Most of the time, today’s gimmick is really just that. The world’s 50 most innovative companies: only one UK firm listed. Almost half of the companies on the list have generated more than 30pc of sales from innovations that occurred in the prior three years, the respondents said. Two thirds added they are spending more on innovation this year than in 2013, while some revealed that their best ideas had come from analysing social media trends. The ones which are most successful put all their focus on one or two projects at a time, the report noted.

“Too many companies want to shoot for the moon while their innovation programs are barely airborne,” said Kim Wagner, a BCG senior partner and co-author of the report. “Breakthrough innovators are especially effective at bringing together the pieces required for radical innovation and organising them for high impact.” Top 20 innovative companies in the world: Since BCG's 2013 report, the biggest change has been in the automotive sector.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The following is a list of products, services, and apps provided by Google. Active, soon-to-be discontinued, and discontinued products, services, tools, hardware, and other applications are broken out into designated sections.

On Tuesday morning, January 21, the world awoke to nine new words on the home page of Google Inc., purveyor of the most popular search engine on the Web: "New! Take your search further. Take a Google Tour.

" The pitch, linked to a demo of the site's often overlooked tools and services, stayed up for 14 days and then disappeared. To most reasonable people, the fleeting house ad seemed inconsequential. But imagine that you're unreasonable. For a moment, try to think like a Google engineer -- which pretty much requires being both insanely passionate about delivering the best search results and obsessive about how you do that.

If you're a Google engineer, you know that those nine words comprised about 120 bytes of data, enough to slow download time for users with modems by 20 to 50 milliseconds. This is what it's like inside Google. Geeks are different from the rest of us, so it's no surprise that they've created a different sort of company. Rule Number One: The User Is in Charge. Google versus Apple. Same Exterior, Different Innovation Engines by Nicolas Bry As I was completing my thesis on “rapid innovation“, one of the frequent comment was: “and you’re lucky to work in the digital industry because you can include in your case studies Google and Apple”.

As if they were two innovation champions of the same kind… Google and Apple may seem to share similar innovation patterns from afar, but under the hood, they play totally different ball games. This way, they demonstrate their ability to build their own identity based on a genuinely personal innovation model. Let’s get more in-depth into the comparative analysis. Leadership and Culture Google was founded in 1998 by two brilliant engineers and strong leaders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Portfolio of Innovations Google initially developed on the basis of a simple, fast search engine which provides high-quality responses.

The Innovation Process Apple constructs complete, self-contained ecosystems around its products. Design The Brand Philosophy. Project Glass: Google’s Transparent Product Strategy Is Great Marketing, Too. Google’s Project Glass deserves plaudits for innovation, not just for the device itself but also for the process by which Google is developing and marketing the product. Studying product strategy and marketing as a Forrester analyst for almost nine years, I have never seen a company do what Google is doing: launch an entirely new form factor in such a transparent, inclusive way. The Google Glass Rollout A bit of history: Google debuted Project Glass publicly in April 2012, first on Google Plus and then on Sergey Brin at a charity event for fighting blindness later that week.

Google X (the R&D lab that developed Glass) asked for feedback from the public on its Google Plus page. At Google I/O last June, Google demoed videos taken with Glass while skydiving and mountain biking (notably, the top comment on YouTube as I write this article is how Glass will revolutionize POV porn) and offered developers an opportunity to buy an “Explorer Edition” for $1,500. Google Glass In The Real World. Google dévoile en catimini un nouveau logo. INTERNET - La firme américaine s'est contentée d'une courte phrase glissée sur son blog.
