I just read an interesting thing on this

On Aug. 4, 2011, The New York Times will lose a case against Google in the Supreme Court, in which the newspaper claims that the search engine's fact-stripping robots that rearrange news stories gathered by its search bots according to its users' tastes violate copyright regulations.

The decision marks a huge win for Google, which merged with Amazon.com three years prior to form Googlezon. Combining Google's search technology and Amazon's social recommendation engine, the two companies created a comprehensive service that provides total customization of content, news and advertising for its users.

After the ruling, The New York Times ceases publishing online in a feeble protest, instead becoming a print-only newsletter for the elderly and the elite, according to the movie.

Thompson and Sloan envision Google expanding its acquisitions and then combining Blogger, G-mail, and Google News services plus Amazon's recommendation system into the Google Grid, a universal platform for users to store and share media.

Google then refines its search algorithm and starts to construct news stories dynamically, stripping sentences and facts from sources and recombining them according to specific user interests.

By 2014, Google creates EPIC, the Evolving Personalized Information Construct, its own categorization system that filters and delivers news. Users contribute news bits, and they are rewarded with a small slice of Google's advertising revenue depending on the popularity of their contribution. Information is delivered to users based on consumption habits, demographics, interests and even interests of their friends.

its pretty much proven that he was a hoax. they've found tons of evidence against him.

a damn interesting and well planned hoax, though.

Yeah.

I never understood why his mission order was done for a 1987 Chevy... but he came here in a 1967 Vette and got a 87 suburban for more structural support.

Everyone knows going forward in time is harder on the shocks than going back in time.
