Google Patents Advertisement Powered Taxi's Offering Free Rides To Users

Google has been awarded the patent for an ad-powered taxi service, the patent describes a service from Google where it would allow advertisers to offer customers a free ride to their place of business. Google will be flexing its targeting capabilities to locate the user's current location and display "free ride" advertisement either via cell phone or from a stationary kiosk in a public area. The highly targeted ads would also track how often you use (by asking Google account authorization before giving free ride) the discounted or free transportation to make a purchase, and if found using too many free rides without buying something, do not offer you a free ride next time. The users can also offer additional information about themselves and who else is with them to get better recommendations from advertisers. For example, a family looking for a free-ride to a restaurant and advertisers bidding against each other just like Google Adwords to get them to their place, advertisers would also be able to better target offers (like free deserts for kids) using your purchase history and other factors in the user's profile.

This approach is simple and smart as it does not require the extension to maintain or check a list of blocked websites, the proxy automatically kicks in when an blocked message is encountered.

WiFi And Cellular Radiation Is Killing Plants, Finds School Experiment

In an earlier blog post ([Investigative Video] Health Risks Of WiFi Radiation Are Real) we tried to get an answer for the question - Is WiFi Radiation Safe?, and the conclusion was NO. The same has now being proved by an experiment done by high school students in Denmark, while not exactly an "controlled experiment done under professional lab environment" the students took full-safeguards to make sure both environments are same with only one difference of exposure to radiation.

This all started when five ninth-grade girls started noticing that they are having trouble concentrating after sleeping with their mobile phones at their bedsides, and later decided to do an experiment at school. The girls took 12 trays and filled same amount of garden cress seeds into them, six trays were placed inside a room with Wi-Fi routers that emitted roughly the same microwave radiation as a mobile-phone, and other six trays inside a separate room without WiFi radiation. The girls carefully controlled both environments for temperature, sunlight and water and the results after 12 days were nothing short of "shocking" - the radiation-free room seeds developed into bushy greenery, while the seeds next to the Wi-Fi routers were shriveled, brown and even mutated as shown below.

Wifi is not safe
