Google is skynet

Forget the damn dirty apes. Google is totally poised to rule over man.
It’s only a matter of time.
别管他妈的肮脏的猿猴了.Google奴役人类只是时间的问题.
Looking back, it’s easy to see how we were sucked in. Google was
different from all those other search engines. It was cool, decorating
its landing page logo with string lights and Easter eggs for the
holidays, or even a Guggenheim sketch on Frank Lloyd Wright’s
birthday. What’s more, Google totally understood us, what we meant or
what we wanted even when we couldn’t spell it ourselves: “Do you mean
“Prisoner of Azkaban?” Why yes, Google! Yes I do!
回过头来看,我们是如何的置身于其中.Google跟其他的所有搜索引擎都不同.它非常的酷,它可以用靓丽的字体装饰登录页面的logo和复活节彩蛋的
假期,甚至出现Guggenheim团体的示意图在Frank Lloyd Wright的生日.更甚于此,Google很了解我们的意思或者想法,当
我们无法正确拼写时:"您的意思是"Prisoner of Azkaban?"是的,我是这个意思.
But like some kind of messed-up online relationship with Rep. Mark
Foley or “Dateline NBC’s” Chris Hansen, Google got all creepy on us.
Did you know (and if you don’t, you should) that every time you use
Google, it’s storing all your information for an undefined amount of
time? And, it's for no reason at all, says no-nonsense ZDNet Digital
Market blogger Donna Bogatin — at least as far as you, the user, is
concerned?
比起众多繁杂的在线网站(online relationship不知道怎么翻译)中比如Rep. Mark Foley或者"Dateline
NBC's"Chris Hansen,Google让我们感到可怕.你知道(如果你不知道,你应该知道)每次我们使用Google,它会在不确定的时
间记录下我们所有的信息?没有确切的原因....
Skeptical? Surely you’ve noticed that Google is reading your Gmail. Is
it any coincidence the ads that pop up in the right side of your Gmail
landing page have a whole lot to do with your correspondence with Aunt
Rae-Rae?
怀疑?当然你也知道Google会阅读你的Gmail.Gmail右侧任何弹出的广告都跟你的个人信息有关系.
Oh no! Grandma took a fall? Can I interest you in a Lark Mobility
Scooter? Boss won’t get off your back? Perhaps you’d enjoy Season Two
of “The Office,” now on DVD! “Lost” season finale blow you away?
24PetWatch can help you local your missing dog or cat within hours!
Oh 不是吧!奶奶刮掉了?我关心你的Lark Mobility Scooter(摩托车之类的)吗?老板不会回来了吗?也许你正在享受"The
Office"的第二季的DVD!"Lost"季的结局打击到你了?24PetWatch可以帮助你在几个小时内找到丢失的宠物.
Top off the Gmail telepathy with the fact that Google’s been
voraciously acquiring every worthwhile thing on the Internet, and can
now track you straight up to your front door step via satellite… well
no wonder the recent launch of Google’s Universal Search had every
tech geek in the blogosphere Kaczynsking all over their keyboards. As
the search results reveal, Google is taking over!
结束了Gmail的"心灵感应",事实上Google已经在互联网上贪婪的寻找所有有价值的信息,现在它可以直接通过卫星追踪你到前门...难怪最近推
出的Google通用搜索可以搜集到每一个技术极客的blog.作为Google的搜索结果,它正在这么干了!
Okay, so maybe I’m engaging in a little hyperbole here — not about the
Kaczynsking blogosphere geeks, but Google angling to become our Evil
Overlords. And if you’re just a regular Joe who mostly hits Google
during your work hours to find pictures of Lindsay Lohan puking, you
may wonder what the big fuss over Universal Search is all about.
好了,或许我有些夸张了---不是关于Kaczynsking极客的blog,但Google正在成为邪恶的霸主.如果你只是一个普通的张三大多只是在
工作时间寻找Lindsay Lohan的图片,你应该惊讶小题大做已经超过了通用搜索.
Here’s the deal: Google now includes maps and video in its search
results. But, it’s not so much returning Yahoo Videos as much as it’s
returning videos from YouTube, which Google owns. While it's totally
understandable (and quite possibly disingenuously defensible) that
Google does a better job returning content they own and can index than
they do returning content from others, it's still a bit off.
Here's the deal:Google现在包括了地图和视频的搜索结果.但是它没有太多返回Yahoo的视频而大多来自Google拥有的
youtube视频.虽然完全可以理解Google拥有更好的内容,但仍然可以索引来自其他的.
Of course, Web nerds love to cry foul when they see a monopoly. See,
many of them are terribly bright, and if they weren't attracted to the
essentially individualistic, libertarian, anonymous Internet, they'd
be rich investment bankers by now.
当然,网络怪人热衷于嚷嚷当他们看到了一个垄断.瞧,其中很多人是可怕的亮光,如果他们不被个人主义,自由主义,匿名互联网所吸引,他们早该是富有的银
行家了.
The question is, should the rest of us non-Web nerds care that Google
is doing a really good job beefing up its search by including in its
purview useful content that just happens to have been created on its
proprietary sites? Well, the best form of government, bar none, is a
benevolent dictatorship. However, since a dictatorship also happens to
be among the worst forms of government, people get in a tizzy when all
at once, Google tips its hand.
问题是,作为非网络怪人的我们应该关注加强Google的高质量搜索的监管,只能允许在特定的站点上出现?最好的政府形式,毫无疑问是一个仁慈的独裁统
治.然而,独裁统治也正是最坏形式的政府,people get in a tizzy when all at once, Google
tips its hand.(不知怎么翻译)
What hand is that? Google is far and away the best search engine
(although when I put "best search" into Google, the first result was
dogpile.com, and I haven't thought about them in about a decade. To be
fair though, the same term entered in dogpile.com returned some whack
page on eBay. After that I get dizzy and have to sit for a moment.)
Google may have let its slip show a little when it started including
all these videos and maps. Google returns the Internet? Sure, no
problem, that's why we love it. Google returns content mostly from
Google properties? Aw crap, Google owns the Internet.
什么是那方面的?Google绝对是最好的搜索引擎(虽然当我在Google输入"best search"时的第一个结果是dogpile.com,
我已经10年没想过他们了.再公平不过了....).Google可能只展示了它的一点点当它开始拥有所有的视频和地图时.Google回报互联网?当
然是,这也是我们爱它的原因.Google返回的搜索结果都是Google所拥有的信息?他妈的,Google拥有互联网.
That seems to be what's got the Web folks in a mess, anyway. Either
that or those freaking out are really all search-engine optimization
types complaining because their jobs just hit a complication. Oh poor
dears. Maybe they should get a real job instead of passing off their
snake-oil as medicine.
那似乎是我们在混乱中得到了什么.那些惊吓是所有真的搜索引擎优化类型的抱怨,因为他们的工作是偶然发现一个复杂的.Oh 穷鬼.可能我们应该找一份真
的工作来替代他们用蛇油当作药物.
