Technorati owned by Google

It's shame, but it's true. Technorati was clearly owned by Google, my meaning of "owned "is beaten by. According to a research company HitWise Inc, "Ailing weblog search engine Techorati has been overtaken by Google" According to HitWise, Google's Blogsearch has seen a 168 per cent surge in traffic since Google started to promote the service more heavily in October. From it launch on 2003, Technorati has struggled to scale with growth in vanity publishing. Seeing this news i tried to perform a Google blogsearch compare with Technorati blog search and the winner is obvious Google. Google took around 0-1 seconds to load the page that i type and what about Technorati? Technorati took around 20-30 seconds to load the pages and return with 0 result. What a shame.

Robot equals Human

According to a report from UK, in the next 50 years; robot will be given the same right as human and even would be expected to vote and pay taxes.According to the report, there will be a time when robot can reproduce, improve themselves or gain artificial intelligence. Even the government hope to use robot as military force. This is a quote from the report "Humankind could engage in spirited debates as to how humans, animals and robots rank with respect to rights and responsibilities in our world," the report states. "Robots with advanced artificial intelligence could promote the development of schools of thought that see the human brain as nothing more than a special type of computer." This is so ridiculous, i mean how can they give the same human right to robot when we human are the one who created them. If this happen then there will be a time when robot take over human. Even robot can become a president? Robot conquer the world? Another World War? Or maybe the same situation as the IROBOT film? Give me your comments!! Link: Robot
