Google's April Fool joke...

Hello again.

So, I am back with my second post... and that too very soon... ;) hope i would be regular in the future too.... :)

As you already know, I am fan of Google.... And like always, Google roll out their very famous "April Fool joke". This time, Google fooled us all (although I already guessed it rightly) by their new term "gDay with MATE"... :D


Here is a brief description from the Google's page..

"

About gDay™ technology

The core technology that powers gDay™ is MATE™ (Machine Automated Temporal Extrapolation).

Using MATE’s™ machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques developed in Google’s Sydney offices, we can construct elements of the future.

Google spiders crawl publicly available web information and our index of historic, cached web content. Using a mashup of numerous factors such as recurrence plots, fuzzy measure analysis, online betting odds and the weather forecast from the iGoogle weather gadget, we can create a sophisticated model of what the internet will look like 24 hours from now.

We can use this technique to predict almost anything on the web – tomorrow’s share price movements, sports results or news events. Plus, using language regression analysis, Google can even predict the actual wording of blogs and newspaper columns, 24 hours before they’re written!

To rank these future pages in order of relevance, gDay™ uses a statistical extrapolation of a page’s future PageRank, called SageRank.

Last time, Google fooled us by their GMail Paper.. With this, you can get your mails printed and get it delivered at your doorstep... :D With obviously, the world-class advertisements printed on the other side of the paper... :D I seriously believed it when I first saw it and Google succeeded in doing so.. ;(

Now Google has to think of some new way of fooling us... Even they can launch their GMail Paper service and double fool us :D But the profit is ours only... :) Go Google....

Anyways, enough for today...
Will post soooooon.... :)
Byeee...
