Eventually, says Mr Saffo, "they’re trying to build the machine that will pass the Turing test," in other words, an artificial intelligence that can pass as a human in written conversations. Wisely or not, Google wants to be a new sort of deus ex machina. http://www.economist.com/business/displaystory.cfm?story_id=5382048

It allows anyone to upload files for free to its massive server farms, making the data instantly searchable. Although mainly aimed at online markets for such things as homes and jobs, scientists say the facility could have important implications for data-sharing in science, and perhaps boost efforts to make the web more "intelligent," bringing structured web pages to the masses and helping boostrap the semantic web, where tags added to pages would allow computers to "understand" what the pages contain. http://base.google.com/

"The possibility of computer equipment power consumption spiraling out of control could have serious consequences for the overall affordability of computing, not to mention the overall health of the planet." Barroso’s suggested solution: heavily multithreaded processors that can execute many threads. His term, "chip multiprocessor technology," or CMP, is close to the "chip multithreading" term Sun employs in their new "Niagara" processor. http://news.com.com/Power+could+cost+more+than+servers%2C+Google+warns/2100-1010_3-5988090.html
