Google TechTalks

LIfehacker made a post recently about Google TechTalks. Apparently, TechTalks are in-house presentations done by people that work at Google or by guest speakers. Watch the above video and have your mind blown. Essentially, Luis Von Ahn discusses how they created a game that people play for free to help Google tag all the images on the internet. And if people play the game as much as they play solitare, all the images on the internet will be labeled in six months....all the images....all of them....seriously. He gets into some much more complicated stuff like porn webmasters using computers to solve problems and then when the computer hits snag, it asks for human help....so Humans using computers that use humans to solve problems together. The whole thing discussed Human Computation, and I haven't finished the video yet, but the first 35mins were off the chain. Google TechTalks
