Google is moving so fast it's almost scary

According to Bloomberg, Google has already set up a company that’ll handle the free Wi-Fi job in the Big Apple. Sidewalk Labs is the Google-backed startup that will turn 10,000 of New York’s old phone booths into ad-supported Wi-Fi pylons this September
- Yay. Ad supported access with questionable privacy. I might even consider it if I even got close to running out of data.monospaced
- You really care about privacy when using free public wifi?inteliboy
- Actually no, not really. It's usually crap too. I was commenting more on Google's use of said data. Anyway, they had this idea back in 2005 with SF. Never workemonospaced

After a sharp increase in the number of rail crossing accidents last year, the Federal Railroad Administration plans to announce a new partnership with Google on Monday to provide the locations of all grade crossings in the company’s popular map application.- Chatbots have been around forever.

Google has been helping users buy insurance in Europe since 2012, but a series of clues suggest they may be about to take that business to the US. A new report from an analyst named Ellen Carney at Forrester takes a look at Google Compare, the company's auto insurance hub, and finds some convincing evidence that the program may be coming to America in 2015. A company called Google Compare Auto Insurance Services Inc. is already licensed to do business in more than 25 states, and licensed to sell on behalf of a handful of major insurers like Metlife, Dairyland and Workmen's. Carney also notices that Compare's corporate treasurer is licensed to do business on behalf of a San Francisco-based insurance broker called Cardhound, which could be a sign that Google is getting ready to acquire the company outright. If true, it would give Google a big foothold in a complex and difficult market.

"This isn’t Google Glass in a contact lens, but it may just be Google’s first step in this direction. The company’s Google X lab just teased a smart contact lens on its blog that is meant to help diabetics measure their glucose levels."

The way Google is going, they won't need Apple. What I'd like to know though, is what Apple has planned for that insane cash reserve.
- a pippin reduxprophetone
- but but... don't be evilZOOP
- Apple has nothing planned. Everyone knows they stopped innovating when Steve died. They don't even have a new r&d site.monospaced
- new r&d site... oh wait...monospaced
- They already said they're buying back stock and paying dividends with most of it...zarkonite

Google: 100,000 lives a year lost through fear of data-miningThe search firm's CEO and co-founder, Larry Page, estimates 100,000 lives could be saved next year if mining of healthcare data was acceptable
- Alll that data would be used to increase rates and protect the insurance companies.instrmntl
- not if Google takes them over! Someone has to change that industryformed
- I trust Google as much as I trust Zuckerberg.utopian
- yup, but more than I trust the insurance industryformed
- Open source it and let me have my own data. Then we'll see some progress.zarkonite
