android vs apple 300x186 Google executive: Siri is Star Wars, Android Voice Actions is Star Trek gadgetzzAt the Hong Kong event where Google and Samsung introduced the Galaxy Nexus and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, Matias Duarte, product management director for Android, answered some direct questions from the crowd. When asked to compare Siri with Android’s built-in Voice Control features, he responded with an analogy that any self-respecting geek can identify with. Duarte compared Siri with the bumbling protocol droids like C3PO from Star Wars, while Voice Actions are more like the U.S.S. Enterprise’s computer, where voice controls every function.

images THEY WANT TO KILL THE INTERNET,   Internet Blacklist Bill gadgetzzFOR REAL: The House just introduced a version of the Internet Blacklist Bill which could effectively SHUT DOWN Twitter, Youtube, and sites that rely on user-generated content. Click here to tell your lawmakers not to sponsor the bill.


The rumors were true: The new Blacklist Bill could effectively destroy YouTube, Twitter, and other sites that rely on user-generated content by making the sites’ owners legally responsible for content their users post.

It also includes provisions that would make it a felony to stream unlicensed content — including cover band performances, karaoke videos, video game play-throughs, and more.

It’s a grab-bag of Halloween goodies for a handful of big corporations — but for us it’s Frankenstein’s monster, cobbled together from half-born bills, set to suffocate free speech and innovation and terrorize consumers and Internet users.

It would effectively mean death of the Internet, Gadgetzz would have to remove commenting and censor all our content!

What are you waiting for?

Google is mapping the Amazon jungle in 3D

Tumbira2 Google is mapping the Amazon jungle in 3D gadgetzzGoogle has for a long time offered a cool 3d view of most parts of the world. But there are places where the google street view car just cant go.
This dosent mean google cant though, as you know google is the god of the internet. And they already mapped parts of the atlantic ocean. So what would stop them from mapping the amazon jungle?

So Google mounted its cameras on a special tricycle and took to Tumbira’s trails and into the jungle — a place where Cleudilan Silveira goes in search of birds. An expert guide, Silveira calls out to them — catching sight of any number of species.

Google’s cameras also went on the Rio Negro and its tributaries. That’s where the locals fish for the monster-sized pirarucu.

“You’re walking down the forest trail and it’s 360 panorama so you can look up, you can look down on the ground,” she says. “In one place, you will be able to see an area where they gather Brazilian nuts and there are Brazil nuts all over the floor.”
