Google Maps 6.0 Goes Indoors at IKEA  Address is Approximate: A Lovely Animated Film Made with Google Maps. At Google X, a Top-Secret Lab Dreaming Up the Future. It’s a place where your refrigerator could be connected to the Internet, so it could order groceries when they ran low. Your dinner plate could post to a social network what you’re eating. Your robot could go to the office while you stay home in your pajamas. And you could, perhaps, take an elevator to outer space. These are just a few of the dreams being chased at X, the clandestine lab where Google is tackling a list of 100 shoot-for-the-stars ideas. In interviews, a dozen people discussed the list; some work at the lab or elsewhere at Google, and some have been briefed on the project.

Although most of the ideas on the list are in the conceptual stage, nowhere near reality, two people briefed on the project said one product would be released by the end of the year, although they would not say what it was. “They’re pretty far out in front right now,” said Rodney Brooks, a professor emeritus at M.I.T.’s computer science and artificial intelligence lab and founder of Heartland Robotics.

Chaîne de zeitgeistminds. Google Zeitgeist, Like TED, Focuses on Big Picture. Kevin Lee | September 30, 2011 | 0 Comments inShare36 Five trends touched on at the Zeitgeist conference that will have a significant impact on SEM. This week, Google held its thought-provoking conference, Zeitgeist. Like TED, the Zeitgeist conference sessions are designed to inspire, educate, and broaden the horizons of the attendees while allowing some additional time for schmoozing and fun. Google keeps the conference surprisingly non-commercial. However, that doesn't mean that attendees don't talk about media, advertising, social media, and marketing among themselves.

We do, and we did. In prior years, the event was strictly off the record, but with the proliferation of Twitter, there was a constant stream of observations, comments, and discussions flying around the Twittersphere throughout the conference.
