I figured this was enough to knock the dust from the Google category. .It seems google has developed a technology which will enable the search engine to listen to the television and the ferret out releated inforrmation based on what it hears without any help from users.
Googles titles this as “Mass personalization”. A company by the name of Shazam has a similar service which can listen to 30 seconds of music and return you a text message with the name of the recording artist and the song title. Google on the other hand needs only 5 seconds.
Of course, Google says don’t worry about privacy. The technology is not allowed to work in reverse and will not be able to do the same with conversations. All in all even though the technology is there, Andrew Frank a Gartner research analyst believes this technology won’t make it to the light of day.
