Self-Driving cars aren’t coming fast enough

I hate driving. Not because i’m not an excellent pilot of automobiles (a lot of people seem to assume that if you dont like driving it must be because you’re bad at it), but because I see it as a waste of time. I don’t enjoy the process of getting from A to B. I just want to be there. I’m ready for teleportation. but until then, I at least don’t want to drive. It takes too much brain power. I can’t create and ponder and solve the riddles of life while I’m driving because the sector of my brain that is looking out for other cars and maintaining distance and speed is, I guess, the same as the creative side. or maybe its just that it takes too much juice to do the navigating that theres no reserve left to do other things.

Google released this promotion video last month:

We announced our self-driving car project in 2010 to make driving safer, more enjoyable, and more efficient. Having safely completed over 200,000 miles of computer-led driving, we wanted to share one of our favorite moments. Here’s Steve, who joined us for a special drive on a carefully programmed route to experience being behind the wheel in a whole new way. We organized this test as a technical experiment, but we think it’s also a promising look at what autonomous technology may one day deliver if rigorous technology and safety standards can be met.

Google Plus Dilema

You can move your Facebook friends into Google+..but…do you really want to?

Its almost a week after the launch of new Google Social Network, Google+ (Google Plus) and its increasing user rate is very high. But Google+ still doesn’t have the functionality for users to bring friends directly from Facebook to Google+ and every user on Google+ would surely want their Facebook friends to use Google+.

Untill now, Google hasn’t been fully launched to all the users freely but you can join if get invites from Google+ users.

But if you are already into Google+, then there is a way to bring your Facebook friends contacts to your Google+ account and give them invites. Facebook Friend Exporter is an extension forChrome which gives the easiest method of exchanging user contacts from one service to another.

Google informs users of Facebooks info-trapping

Google and Facebook are working toward the same ends: they both want to be the place you start your online activity, stick around for awhile and discover other things through. Google started with search and then mail and messaging and is now adding social network features while Facebook started with social network features and is now adding email and messaging.

Both companies are notorious for allegedly being loose with users personal information, giving them an interesting Coke vs Pepsi style marketing war when trying to convince the consumer that they are the better choice.

Here is what you are shown when you try to import your Gmail contacts information into Facebook:
