An acquaintance from high school is project manager of google desktop. He basically only gets about 10 hours of sleep a week, but flies around all over the world getting people excited about google desktop and basically orders around dudes twice his age. I want to be him.
a couple years ago i was pissed because we weren't getting the cool shit i read about in sci-fi novels as a kid
but all of the sudden here it is
and fuck if it isn't just affordable, but most of it is goddamned free
all you need is a portable compudeck and to be in a large city like San Fransisco, and GoogleCom will electronically beam the InfoNet for free directly into your Deck
you can look up any business you can think of, based on your Personal Coordinates, and it will automatically dial you directly to them through your Portaphone.
Oh, and the "Google will setup the call for you" is even better than it sounds, because it is FREE LONG-DISTANCE! If you use a cell, standard airtime charges apply, but you can call LA from MA for the same as a local charge!
I just don't get how Google can do this shit... I mean, for this to have been made, this means a bunch of guys literally just drove around, probably for DAYS, taking billions of photos... I mean, fuck! I want to get paid to do that!
This is awesome, but now, I suddenly have chills... I mean, imagine being able to do a search for someone, and then finding their house... I dunno, something sounds very scary about that..

I don't think it was just a bunch of dudes in the back of some google hippy's subaru with their Nikkon COolpix, dude
pretty damn sure they set up a 360 degree camera system tied into a gps unit that took pictures every set distance and relayed it back to the server where it was all sorted out
For the guy that said whitepages... I meant photos of my house. Plus, you can be unlisted in the phonebook and the phonebook isn't sorted by address but rather name, and you can't be unlisted from an image-set like this.
I love how google spends half their time on useful products like their online text editor, and the other half on what basically amounts to technology porn for the middle class. Like this.
I think you might be being sarcastic but I actually do love this.
One day, Google will take over the world and we'll be able to google things like "What did I have for lunch yesterday?" and the logging engine will search through the chemical analysis of your feces downloaded from your Gtoiliet and let you know you had corn.
What a coincidence! I recently took a 1600-mile round-trip road-trip. Can I actually upload pictures? We got over 300 of them, most of them in the car.

which i'm pretty sure was your original point
that i missed until right this second

Also, the service you mentioned was Goog411...
http://labs.google.com/goog411/
1-800-GOOG-411
And the only service they charge for that I can think of is Google Answers:
http://answers.google.com/answers/
And also, Google is amazing, don't get me wrong, but the aggregation of information is starting to enter the realm of somewhat scary (but still neat).
