Would be a field that uses clear/transparent turf. and all colors on the field are defined by lights under it. The white in the 10/20/30... could be done dynamically, the end zones could be designed dynamically and relit, heck, you could switch from a green field to Boise State's blue.

This could be used to make the same field a football field, soccer field, lacrosse, field hockey... all without the the clutter of all the lines on one field.

This might be tricky with turf technology currently, but I feel like a first technology to do this might be a basketball court (lights for basketball, volleyball, etc)...

It probably isn't feasible, but would be interesting.

Yeah, didn't see anyone else had posted it, and for good reason.

And it's in the article. Yay me.

What about Google Chrome? I know it's currently only Windows only, but it's a very good browser and Open Source.

You mean it causes ignorance? :-)

Lisa: I thought you said it was just a name!!
Advisor: What he meant is that Monster Island is actually a Peninsula.

It could, but I felt like that was a different field than personalization.

I don't believe personalization is correct. I believe some of the next big things to come out of search are localization and knowledge. Localization being better local results (at least for the relevant searches), and better knowledge meaning knowledge of what is on the page vs. knowledge of what the query meant. This might mean more verbose queries, but the ability to know what the user is looking for, and show them the pages that Google knows mean the same thing, seems to be much bigger than personalizing results based on what they know about the user.

Yeah, that's a good point too. A lot of these "self thought up" Captcha schemes might work well on one or two sites, but when you talk about deploying to sites like Google and Yahoo (huge spam bot targets), a lot of them become infeasible.

Because then any spam bot would have a 1 in 3 chance of getting it correct. And then if you try to scale if up to 100 cups and 1 ball, then it would not be feasible for even a human to follow.

I would have thought being near a Google data center would be more valuable, with the huge amount of traffic, and the indexing that comes through Google.

Maybe Google has better practices in terms of security of their data centers?

Maybe this link will be a little more useful: http://strawberryperl.com/

I understand why my post was confusing, but I was referring to processing speed in GHz or MHz. Power was a poor choice of words there. Sorry for confusion. However, if we replace power with processing speed, my post will be correct.
