google i/o 2012, the company's annual developer conference, offered a glimpse of the company's future and a reminder of the company's problems. none of google's peers, allies, or competitors--amazon, apple, microsoft, mozilla, or samsung--have a vision for technology that is quite as ambitious or socially transformative. and neither do they strive to realize their respective visions in such an incautious way. google's demonstration of project glass, its augmented reality glasses, exemplifies its approach. in six weeks, the company conceived, coordinated, and executed an impressive stunt twice, flawlessly--skydivers wearing project glass prototypes jumped from an airship over san francisco onto the roof of the moscone west convention center while streaming video from their glasses to the conference. that's a lot of risk to call attention to a product that won't even be available in prototype form until next year, is of unproven value, and is sure to provoke privacy concerns. but then what would you expect from the company that pushed ahead with street view despite the privacy controversies and scanned libraries full of books despite the copyright problems? google doesn't play it safe. project glass could redirect the mobile computing revolution, or it could turn out to be google's ginger, a.k.a. the segway human transporter, impressive engineering overshadowed by absurd hype. ginger, time suggested a decade ago, might be bigger than the internet. don't expect project glass to be that big. at least google is gambling. it made a credible foray into the hardware business with its nexus 7 tablet and an iffier attempt to enter the consumer electronics market with its nexus q streaming media device. one of these will probably flop--the one priced at $299. but having acquired motorola mobility, google can't back out of the hardware business now. nor should it: with everyone emulating apple's model--wedding hardware and software--google faces a landscape of diminishing opportunities if it doesn't do the same. as if to prove that point, google launched chrome for ios, free of the primary things that make chrome meaningful. google says chrome's core principles are speed and security, yet chrome for ios comes with neither. google itself admits that chrome for ios might run more slowly than apple's mobile safari browser. rendering and the javascript engine are provided by ios through uiwebview, google explains on its website. because chrome [for ios] does not have access to safari's nitro engine, chrome might have slower javascript performance. the need to accept the restrictions in apple's uiwebview api also affects the privacy afforded by incognito mode in chrome for ios. google uses an asterisk to refer to chrome's browser privacy option, calling it incognito* mode, to call attention to the api limitations that prevent it from handling html5 local storage as securely as the desktop version of chrome. apple enforces its api restriction as a matter of security, a rule that, coincidentally, ensures that safari's competition can't really compete. being handicapped on another company's hardware explains why google might want to get into the hardware business, whether it's ready or not. yet, google appears to be learning from apple about the value of an iron hand. its android platform developer kit represents an attempt to get its hardware partners and carriers to march with more coordination. of course, we've been here before: at google i/o 2011, google launched the android

- Obama's 2012 tripwires | Michael Tomasky
With a two-minute video that starts with an image of a family farm and features just one brief shot of him, Barack Obama has launched his reelection campaign.His people expect to raise a billion dollars. The GOP field is considered at this point pretty bantamweight. The putative candidates are reluctant to leave the starting gate. By this time in 2007, Obama had raised $25 million. The leading GOP contender, Mitt Romney, raised just $1.9 million in the first quarter (reports that Michele Bachmann led Romney should be marked with an asterisk, as her $2.2 million total was mostly for reelection to her seat in Congress - just $500,000 was sent by contributors specifically wanting to see her seek the presidency).The consensus in Washington is that, rocky as things have sometimes been for Obama, he's in solid shape. But the Washington consensus – this is shocking, I know - has been known to be wrong. Could it be now? What are tripwires on the way to Obama's reelection?I count five. Let's start with the most obvious, the economy. We seem to be in recovery – 216,000 jobs added last month heralds more good news coming. Some leading economists predict an unemployment rate, which peaked at 10.2% and is now 8.8%, of around 8% by November 2012. That's still a little higher than when he took office. Good enough?Second, there's always the t-word. A successful terrorist attack on American soil, even one small in scale, would be used relentlessly by the right wing against Obama and could completely change the election dynamic. Third and somewhat relatedly, there is the question of the changes convulsing the Middle East. Will Egypt become a democracy or another extremist redoubt? How will Libya end, and Yemen? Some or even many of these outcomes are outside a president's control, but vo 家族の農場のイメージから始まり、彼のひとつの簡単なショットを備えて2分のビデオで、バラクオバマ氏は再選campaign.Hisの人々は10億ドルを上げることを期待を開始した
- Obama and the mosque | Michael Tomasky
Yes, I'm leaving for the beach momentarily, and my daughter is in my lap and for the moment not crying, but I felt obliged to write a quick take on Obama and the lower Manhattan mosque.Good for him for saying what he did. There were a hundred excellent reasons to duck it and stay out of it. But what the hell. He's the president. A president ought to lead sometimes. Say what he actually thinks about something. Hang the consequences.This is going to be demagogued to death in the next few days. The important part is going forward. Hang tough. Stand by the position. Don't trim sails or add asterisks after Mitch McConnell or Dick Cheney or whomever says whatever hideous thing they're going to say. Say that McConnell or Cheney or whomever is the one being un-American, and there is absolutely no doubt that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson would agree with me. Throw it back at them.The people who think he's a Mooslem already think it. The vast majority of voters in the middle do not. And obviously liberal voters do not. Ignore the right-wing noise and aim words at the latter two groups and everything will be more or less fine. The economy is going to be the issue anyway.Obama administrationIslamMichael Tomaskyguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Guardian Focus podcast: Contains material some listeners may find offensive
WARNING: this programme explores the offensive side of the English language. As a result, it contains frequent use of swearing and words to which some listeners may objectAs the British Library opens a new exhibition on the English language, we explore the use of taboo words. Evolving English: One Language, Many Voices runs until April. Its curator, Jonnie Robinson, looks at how we have changed the way we communicate. We also listen to a potty-mouthed recording from the British Library's archives. Dr Colleen Cotter, senior lecturer in linguistics at Queen Mary University of London, explains why we swear and what we're trying to say by our choice of profanities. The Guardian's readers editor, Chris Elliott, explains why we choose not to use asterisks when printing swear words. Who is protecting the nation's ears? Chris Banatvala from the broadcasting regulator Ofcom tells us what offends the public. Political satire The Thick Of It's 'swearing consultant' Ian Martin discusses why bad language can be funny. What is the ultimate swear word? Peter Silverton, author of Filthy English: The How, Why, When and What of Everyday Swearing gives his verdict.
