Now Google mechanism of Android can not understand what information you need right now - making it difficult for paranoids
Provides the information when you need it in Google Now
Google asks if I want to go to bed. No home, even the company probably know where I live (as she knows where most of you live), but the place where I spent the last night - apartment in Williamsburg New York. The company even says how long will it take me to get there on public transportation, and what lines should be used. And it's not asking Google this information - ask for it so early in 2012. Overall I pressed the button for the Google Now.Theoretically, what Now does that sound a bit pretentious - the purpose of this mechanism is to provide you with the information you need when you need it. It was launched as part of version 4.1 of the Android operating system (called "jelly between"), and was recently officially Israel, after the two products with jelly between Israel launched - Galaxy Note 2 of the Samsung Nexus 7 of Asus. If your interface language is English, you can access it (all devices via a different approach).If you use a 'proper' Only in Israel, probably this publication you need to "make do with the weather and the coming sessions. Only when it comes to where the various Google services have a much better grip, like the U.S., realize the true potential of the service., And the truth is it's a little scary.Intelligent use of your personal informationThe mechanism can understand who you favorite team (Photo: PR agents)How Google know where I slept? This trick is not complicated. When I confirmed the company "improve the experience" of using Google service by extracting geographic location of the device, giving the company the opportunity to see where my phone is during the night. And if he is lying in the same place for hours are defined as hours of human sleep - Apparently I'm there.Have to qualify that geographic information can be useful only up to a point. Yes, it's impressive when you leave the theater and Google Nao shows the schedule nearest subway station, and when he makes the tabs businesses are nearby.'s Even more impressive when Google neo understand you have a meeting by the "look" Journal Google, and determining the route Public transportation to the meeting without even requested it, or understanding that the way to work will take longer because of an accident and alert for that.But Google does not provide that. Part from using Google Now, the company also seeks to use the information which it can draw from the results of your search. The intention is not kinky sex, but, for example, you sports team fans, or fly it you are going to go up. The company uses all of these very intelligently. Before favorite team's game and a reminder has bid to buy tickets, during which - updates, and then - result. And if there is a change in the flight that interests you, Google will tell you that too.Tools scary paranoid
God help you if it is going to be lost. Android smartphoneIn the absence of paranoia, it's all very cool. In these moments, for example, Google understands that I'm not in the country where I live, besides presenting me the tab neo Israel time, it also shows the exchange rate of the shekel. From now on, it's information that should not query or request an application, but it just access information at the touch of a button, and trust that he will be there when it is relevant.But paranoia is there. Not because Google - which you did not really interesting as people, but only as a target of the advertisements - but because of other people. More Google Now comes the wrong hands, whether it's from a lost or stolen this purpose, will allow the new owner of the phone to get you information that you really do not want to give, as the route to work and the address where you spend the night.What saves the situation is the Google's problem NOW - accuracy. Eight hours, for example, it displays Donuts shop track after a Google search, and it is unclear when it will stop. With estimates times he screws up occasionally, and for a few hours just refused to view the weather. And if you can not always count on it to be true, even the wrong hands reliability of information is questionable
