#Google Straps Aclima Sensors To Street view Cars To Map Air pollution If a city knows what intersections are full of smog,
Google earth Outreach program that equips nonprofits and public-benefit organizations with data wants to give the world these insights.
So today, Google revealed that it been working with SF startup Aclima for the last year
Literally piggybacking on Google could let Aclima produce the data necessary to make urban areas easier on the lungs.
Google has agreed now to purchase more of Aclima outdoor sensors for a bigger rollout to map air quality.
The first project it announced was using indoor sensors to help Google measure air quality in its offices to optimize productivity.
by tracking conference rooms throughout the day, Google could determine if CO2 levels climbed high enough to degrade brain function.
With productivity of its huge elite workforce translating into billions in earned or lost revenue for Google,
Google earth Outreach will help organizations use the data to visualize air-quality problems in cities,
The Google partnership will allow it to rapidly scale the deployment of its sensors. This way, Aclima can pursue its mission to make a business out of improving human health through environmental protection.
There plenty more Google could potentially do with the data, though. It could allow Google maps to route cars
or pedestrians away from high-pollution areas to avoid exacerbating condensed pollution or breathing it in.

No one at Google programmed the new software with rules for how to interpret scenes. Instead, its networks earnedby consuming data.

Google researchers created the software through a kind of digital brain surgery, plugging together two neural networks developed separately for different tasks.
Google software posted scores in the 60s on a 100-point scale. Humans doing the test typically score in 70s,
That result suggests Google is far ahead of other researchers working to create scene-describing software.

Although adoption of Google Wallet has been slow NFC technology is gaining in popularity and that is likely to accelerate with the introduction of a similar system from Apple called Apple Pay (see With Apple Pay Forget Cash Just Pull out Your Phone).
Bedier a former Paypal executive who came to Google in 2011 saw an opportunity to switch his focus from the gadgets we can use to make payments to the ones used to handle the transactions:
It accepts payments via NFC (used by services such as Google Wallet and Apple s new Apple Pay) and QR code.

#Google Launches Effort to Build Its Own Quantum computer Google is about to begin designing and building hardware for a quantum computer a type of machine that can exploit quantum physics to solve problems that would take a conventional computer
Since 2009 Google has been working with controversial startup D-Wave Systems which claims to make the first commercial quantum computer.
And last year Google purchased one of D-Wave s machines. But independent tests published earlier this year found no evidence that D-Wave s computer uses quantum physics to solve problems more efficiently than a conventional machine.
Now John Martinis a professor at University of California Santa barbara has joined Google to establish a new quantum hardware lab near the university.
Martinis has taken a joint position with Google and UCSB that will allow him to continue his own research at the university.
Martinis s work on D-Wave s machine led him into talks with Google and to his new position.
However Google has given not up on D-Wave. In an online statement the leader of Google s quantum research said that the two companies will continue to work together
and that Google S d-Wave computer will be upgraded with a new 1000 qubit processor when it becomes available e

#Google Makes Its Search engine a Remote control for Some Mobile Apps Getting stuff done using a smartphone often involves swiping through a jumble of icons looking for just the right app then navigating within it to find what you want.
Google aims to change that by creating search results that take you somewhere specific within an app or trigger a function like playing music by a specific artist.
So far aimed only at devices running Google s mobile operating system Android the new system also expands the company s vision for mobile voice-operated functionality that competes with Apple s Siri and Microsoft
It could help extend Google s lucrative search ads business in an increasingly mobile app-defined world.

Lawrence Chang a product manager at Google said the change would make mobile devices easier to use

which Google helped fund in 2010. Neither company would comment on the plan Tuesday. While satellite launches can be expensive the strategy could give Google a foothold in a growing business.
The effect of competition could be powerful. Google s entry into municipal fiber markets has tended to drive down prices
and improve service offerings from existing ISPS according to some analyses (see Google Fiber s Ripple Effect
and When Will the Rest of Us Get Google Fiber?).Similarly if Google could beam Internet connectivity to countries that have only a single ISP often one controlled by a government
