The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has for discrimination–
workers allege the GCP “scolded [them] failing to keep uniform caps

The Observer talks to David Foster Wallace’s first editor (of The

all over it.”

And the man who championed New York winemaking, Mark Miller, . The
Times writes he “was widely regarded as the father of the winemaking
renaissance in the Hudson Valley, which had been home to winemakers
since the 1600s but had long since fallen into disrepute.”

“The Feds are giving $12 million to NY for low income heating aid.” Is
that per individual or per household?

“The NYPD is getting $29.5 million in homeland security money for
nuclear attack prevention.” And what might they come up with for $29.5
mil? NADA!

“nuclear attack prevention”…. are you shitting me? can’t we put that
money to better use, like our education system?

That $29.5 million is going to the NYPD to keep enforcing that TV
crews cant use tripods to shoot stuff without a permit… like
terrorists are really going to use sticks to scout stuff out to blow
up.

The NYPD hired Microsoft to develop an improved Virtual Earth mapping
system to help track each radiation detector from the operations
center.

No wonder it’s $29.5 million. It would be $.5 million if they used
Google Maps.
They already have at least one special truck that is almost certainly
built for this purpose (let’s just say it looks very unique) and they
set it up at checkpoints in Midtown from time to time. Last time I saw
it, I saw two cops looking carefully at the laptop mounted to the
dashboard. I thought, “cool, I wonder if they detected something, and
I wonder what the screen looks like when they do!”

Google traffic service in google

We’re huge fans of GoogleMaps, so we’re chuffed to see us
folks in Blighty being offered some of the treats that our Stateside
cousins have been enjoying since last August

Google has finally added traffic updates to their mobile mapping
service, although only England gets to join in the fun, with the
information hitting a blank as soon as you drift over into lovely
Scotland, and the land of the , Wales.

The service is also currently limited to just motorways and major A
roads in England, with Google Maps offering a colour-coded guide of
traffic on your route. If it’s marked red then you can expect
slow traffic and monster queues, whereas if it’s green, you can
gleefully hurtle along empty highways with a heavy metal soundtrack on
the CD player, just like they do in the car ads.

Cunningly, Google stores daily traffic information, allowing it to
make congestion predictions at any time of the day based on past
experience.

There’s no word yet on when the service will be extended to the
rest of the UK, so drivers heading up to Glasgow or lovely, lovely
Cardiff will have to hope for the best once they cross the border.

Google propose open networks for all In other Google news, the company
are busy shaking the tree of wireless operators with their vision of
an open wireless network where phones won;t be tied to any single
mobile phone network.

The patent application with the US Patent Office would let users hop
skip and jump onto any network which offers the best service at any
time, with operators bidding to provide the most competitive pricing
for the call.

The google google use compliance

Victorian councils have recently used Google Earth and Google Maps to
monitor rate-payer compliance in terms of illegal home renovations,
unfenced swimming pools, unregistered pets and unauthorised
demolition. But Hobart, Glenorchy and Kingborough mayors agree that
the old-fashioned dob-in-a-neighbour method is far more effective.
Glenorchy Mayor Adriana Taylor said she would not endorse the use of
Google’s technology because it boarded on an invasion of privacy.
“It’s certainly not a path I would want to go down,” she said. “I like
to engender a spirit of honesty and co-operation and working together
with council. “Not trying to catch people out by spying on them and
carrying out measures that destroy trust and privacy.” Kingborough
Mayor Graham Bury said that planning officers did use Google Earth to
review land for planning purposes, but he had not thought of using it
to check on ratepayers’ compliance. “I suppose it could be a good
vehicle to monitor compliance,” he said. “But I just don’t think it’s
necessary given the relatively small demography we have. “I think our
current system of relying on the people in the public to inform us if
there is something untoward going on is far more effective for us.”

.
The company’s federal sales team is busy unpacking boxes, arranging
bean bag chairs and testing the new massage chair in a Reston, Va.,
office building . Over the past couple of years, Google has been
trying to educate federal agencies — as well as the companies that
work with them — on how its search, e-mail and mapping tools can be
applied to government business.

It may be one of the best-known consumer Internet brands, but Google
staffers still get some blank stares when they explain their mission.

“Sometimes they’ll look at us and say, ‘But what do you actually
sell?’ ” said Mike Bradshaw, Google’s head of federal sales, who has
sold technology to the government for IBM Corp. and Microsoft Corp.

Their answer is nothing. Well, nothing entirely new, anyway. Google
wants agencies and the firms working with them to give “cloud-
computing” a try. That means, for example, using Google Maps and
Google Earth to visualize massive amounts of information, or using
Google’s search tool to organize internal data, and storing that
information on Google’s servers “in the cloud.” The enterprise
versions of the tools, which come with extra storage and security
features, cost around $50 per user, per year.

Perhaps employees could use Google Docs, a word processor that lets
multiple people collaborate on the same document or spreadsheet.
Google-powered e-mail systems come with built-in spam filters and
virus scanners, cutting down on server maintenance costs.

The google it’s windows system

It’s almost like someone was listening. Only last week I was bemoaning
the slow and dull operating system that is Windows Mobile. While some
phones, like the Palm Treo Pro, manage to make it work well, many
don’t. Now Google has launched the G1.

It’s almost like someone was listening. Only last week I was bemoaning
the slow and dull operating system that is Windows Mobile. While some
phones, like the Palm Treo Pro, manage to make it work well, many
don’t.

So business users in search of an effective and speedy smartphone will
be pleased to hear that the first phone using Google’s Android
operating system has just been announced in New York. My encounter
with the first handset to reach London was hugely positive. It was
fast, responsive and highly enjoyable to use.

Although it looks like the popular US youth phone, the Sidekick, it’s
a more versatile beast, available in sober black as well as less
businesslike white. Because it’s completely customisable with lots of
applications downloaded from the Android marketplace, it’s up to the
user to configure it for business, music or whatever.

The handset has a large, bright and high-resolution touchscreen
similar to the iPhone’s – it responds to a finger, but not a
stylus.

Good job, then, that it has a full QWERTY keypad, revealed when you
slide the screen sideways. This sets out its business chops (although
you could still use it for instant messaging or updating your Facebook
status, kids!) and the screen reformats to landscape so you’re ready
to type.

Although it’s so customisable that everyone’s phone will be different,
you do have to have a Google Mail account to get started. The phone
regularly checks to see if you’ve had any new mails – if you
don’t like BlackBerry, set your office email to forward to this Google
Mail account and it’s an efficient and cost-effective way to keep in
touch. Other email accounts can be added. Of course, Google’s other
applications, like documents and spreadsheets are available, plus
Google Maps which uses the built-in GPS.

Google’s Android is an open system so lots of applications and more
phones are sure to follow. I’ll report back on battery life, screen
reflectivity and so on after more extensive testing, but this is a
pretty good start. Windows, you say? Windows who?
