The Next Kind Of Google Search Will Be ALL ABOUT YOU

Google has been incorporating more of your personal information from Gmail, Google+ and calendar into search. Now it will be letting you ask that info explicitly. The next kind of search will be all about you.
With new features rolling out to tablet, phone, and desktop voice search, you can now just ask Google "Wait, when's my flight?" and it will tell you. Here's how they describe the use:
Flights: Ask Google “Is my flight on time?” to get info on your upcoming flights and live status on your current flights.
Reservations: Ask for “my reservations” to see your dining plans or “my hotel” to get your hotel name and address. With one tap, you can get driving or public transit directions straight there, saving you lots of steps.
Purchases: Ask for “my purchases,” and you’ll get the status of your current orders, so you know whether your mom’s birthday present will arrive on time.
Plans: Ask Google “What are my plans for tomorrow?” to see a summary of upcoming flights, hotels, restaurant reservations and events—very useful when you’re traveling.
Photos: Say “Show me my photos from Thailand” to see the photos you uploaded to Google+. You can also ask for “my photos of sunsets” if you want to show off the shots you’ve taken over the year; Google will try to automatically recognize the type of photo you’re asking for.
Better than Siri, we say. And while creepy too, we suppose having a digital assistant like that ain't so bad. Could be better if it had the voice of this virtual assistant.

Red light panels, PEMF mats, vagus nerve stimulators, biofeedback rings, grounding sheets. The wellness aisle has quietly become an electronics aisle. And tucked inside that shift is one of the more unusual comeback stories in alternative health: the return of Rife frequencies. Read more
A stable wireless connection supports multiple aspects of daily activities. However, the signal strength may get reduced in distant bedrooms, upper floors or balcony spaces. This happens because the intensity of radio waves reduces as they travel through walls, ceilings and furniture. Most of the standard Wi-Fi routers' coverage stays around 140 to 230 square meters. By using the correct steps, you can extend the Wi-Fi network range across your home and office. Read more
It is probably safe to say that the vast majority of us appreciate being able to safely go about our business. We are not looking to cause trouble or have it find us. With that in mind, most of us at least make a minimal effort to secure our homes. But cost can be a factor in determining just how far we go with home security. Read more
