Google: Behind the Screen watch!

youtube.com — This 50 minutes documentary gives an in-depth look in the world of Google and search. What if all the world's information would be available and easy to find? What if all the news, all books, all texts, photographs and videos would be collected in one place, and made available, always and everywhere? This is the goal of Google, and the com...

  • Fangsinmybeard, on 06/26/2008, -6/+6I think I saw this on free speech TV about a year ago, but it is still a good documentary.
  • fudged71, on 06/26/2008, -7/+1related: http://digg.com/software/The_Science_and_Art_of_Us ...
  • RedSquaree, on 06/27/2008, -7/+6They had me sold when Goldfinger came on. Long live THPS 2. I think it was 2.
  • frozzenst, on 06/27/2008, -5/+4The Dutch VPRO TV are great professional guys. Didn't have 47' to watch the whole documentary, but I guess we can rely on their point of view
  • ssj2119, on 06/27/2008, -10/+947 mins...
  • branndon, on 06/27/2008, -6/+20I love Google
    • cdigioia, on 06/27/2008, -1/+3Me too so far...either way, they'd have to do quite a bit of crap to cancel out the good their superior search engine has created (among other things).
    • gn0stik, on 06/27/2008, -2/+1Go work there.

  • nojingoist, on 06/27/2008, -1/+10I want to know the extent to which Google cooperates with the NSA and other intelligence agencies who may monitor and/or data mine user queries. With the new bill, I assume they'd be immune to legal repercussions. But it would be interesting to know.
    • wrathchilde, on 06/27/2008, -1/+5Search "Google + NSA" then go on an international flight. Your cavity search upon re-entry to the US would be an interesting data point.
    • nickert0n, on 06/27/2008, -3/+1Too bad what "You want to know" doesnt matter, the people who could provide that truth to you wouldent because to them your feelings, rights, your life does not matter.

      You are a number in which generates revenue.

      Free yourself from slavery if your serious, if not sit down and drink your fluoride laced water and do what your told.

  • Mononuclear, on 06/27/2008, -1/+4The only bad thing about more and more indexed content is that it makes it harder to find what you are after. Searching for a keyword used to only retrieve so many articles and a good portion of them where what you were after, now a search for a keyword brings up many thousands of pages and most of them have nothing to do with what you are after.

    With the increase of indexed content you need to come up with even better ways to search through that content.
    • Aquilla, on 06/27/2008, -0/+2Natural language queries and contextual search, with better topic detection should help solve that issue.
    • dralezero, on 06/29/2008, -0/+1Different techniques on what you type can help you find what you are after. Also thinking outside the box in your query, thinking like other poeple and how they talk and what they would have put online and searching for those phrases. But some people can't think like that though.
  • AriaGloris, on 06/27/2008, -2/+24Guys - I'm such a nerd, I think marissa mayer is hot.
    • vat0r, on 06/27/2008, -1/+9She is pretty hot.
    • Bulk70, on 06/27/2008, -1/+3I would.
    • handsomeramin, on 06/27/2008, -0/+11Since when has digg been about lonely people sharing intimate feelings for other people?
      • Greg2k, on 06/27/2008, -0/+5Since Steve Jobs announced the iPhone
    • teejaded, on 06/27/2008, -0/+2She is attractive, but the little grunting noises she makes when she's not talking get on my nerves.
    • jmnugent, on 06/27/2008, -1/+1She totally had me until she let the interviewer push her around with a couple tough questions and her answers were "Thats not how I see it" or other weaksauce replies.

  • rezivor, on 06/27/2008, -6/+1Do they have to play that whole ***** song... jesus that song is awful.... that song was in the BASEKETball soundtrack. ***** hippies.
  • kosmoss, on 06/27/2008, -6/+1I found the prime, but I won't tell you.
  • goodbyepolar, on 06/27/2008, -0/+4Here's a torrent of the video: http://www.bt-chat.com/details.php?id=2336
  • SuperIntendo, on 06/27/2008, -2/+2Cha Cha > Google

    Although I do still love google...
  • SomeImagination, on 06/27/2008, -0/+5You know Google are slowly but surely taking over the Internet when your watching a documentary about them hosted on a website they have taken over... not that its necessarily a bad thing
  • hmemcpy, on 06/27/2008, -0/+4So Dr. Breen is alive, and he's a Google VP?
  • FurtThePirate, on 06/27/2008, -0/+3whats song is that starting at 18:37?
  • PimNL, on 06/27/2008, -2/+1Hup.. holland hup!
  • Lasereth, on 06/27/2008, -3/+3Dugg for a thumbnail of a woman with her mouth open
  • ahpro, on 06/27/2008, -3/+5As a Brit, I would just like to apologise on behalf of Great Britain for that *ANNOYING* man who was keep going on about how Google is spying on people.

    Does he honestly think they employ people who go through all of the data spying on all the billions of people who use it? It's like "the computer admin" in a work place just on a wider scale. Yes, he can see all of your emails and everything you've went to on the web. Does he use this power? No, he has better things to do.
    • aidtheroger, on 06/27/2008, -1/+2...dude sorry but your ***** clueless.
    • ElbertF, on 06/27/2008, -0/+2I understand your point, they're probably not going to look at your individual browsing behavior and send your wife a list of all the porn sites you've been visiting. But that's not his point, things can go horribly wrong when a company has to much power (power corrupts).
  • aidtheroger, on 06/27/2008, -0/+2Careful what you query.
    Cereal.
    All the worlds information.
  • rentmitchum, on 06/27/2008, -0/+2There's nothing behind my screen but 1's and 0's.
  • mediaphile, on 06/27/2008, -0/+4This critical review of Google brought to you by Google (Youtube).
  • RemarkableRyan, on 06/27/2008, -0/+3I like the Tony Hawk 1 song they used at the beginning
  • mochaman, on 06/27/2008, -1/+4Diggers are intoxicated drinking the kool-aid, but Google is fast becoming big brother, and Vinton Cerf reminds the architect from the Matrix. I know this isn't going to be popular so go ahead digg me down.
  • nickert0n, on 06/27/2008, -0/+1Good documentary worth watching if you are interested in topics of freedom and/or technology
  • WillSpencer, on 06/27/2008, -1/+1Google seems to be opposed to freedom for everyone but themselves.

    "Do No Evil" is a laughable example of bald-faced hypocrisy.
  • sparkmonkeyz, on 06/27/2008, -0/+1@ 2:31, they look up "nude women"
  • danna88, on 06/28/2008, -0/+0Putting "The truth about" before anything is obviously asking for skeptical and revisionist views. Try moon landing for proof. What a stupid example this doc gives to try to undermine the search algorithms.
