Ok.... I'll add something here.....


Honey, ……. I need to order more Triumph parts


She always falls on the floor laughing

A woman in her late 30s goes to see a plastic surgeon about doing a face lift. The surgeon tells her that she is to young for such a procedure, but he has developed a new process that is perfect for her and will give her many, many years of wrinkle free skin. He explains that he implants a small device at the base of her neck. Whenever she feels the need to remove some facial wrinkles all she has to do is give this knob a little twist and all of the skin on her face is instantly tightened. She excitedly agrees to have the surgeon operate as soon as possible.

Years pass, and the woman is very pleased. Whenever she sees a new wrinkle she gives the knob a slight twist and the new wrinkle is gone!!

Until one day it didn't work. She goes back to the surgeon complaining that as hard as she twists the knob she can't get rid of the bags under her eyes. Upon examination, the surgeon tells her that she has been applying to much pressure to the implant.

"Those aren't bags under your eyes" he tells her. "Those are your breasts"

"Well, That explains the goatee" says the woman.

Scary.....


Subject: The future is here...





CALLER:
Is this Gordon's Pizza?...

GOOGLE:
No sir, it's Google Pizza.

CALLER:
I must have dialed a wrong number. Sorry.

GOOGLE:
No sir, Google bought Gordon’s Pizza last month.

CALLER:
OK. I would like to order a pizza.

GOOGLE:
Do you want your usual, sir?

CALLER:
My usual? You know me?

GOOGLE:
According to our caller ID data sheet, the last 12 times you called you ordered an extra-large pizza with three cheeses, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms and meatballs on a thick crust.

CALLER:
OK! That’s what I want …

GOOGLE:
May I suggest that this time you order a pizza with ricotta, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes and olives on a whole wheat gluten-free thin crust?

CALLER:
What? I detest vegetable!.

GOOGLE:
Your cholesterol is not good, sir.

CALLER:
How the heck do you know!

GOOGLE:
Well, we cross-referenced your home phone number with your medical records. We have the result of your blood tests for the last 7 years.

CALLER:
Okay, but I do not want your rotten vegetable pizza! I already take medication for my cholesterol.

GOOGLE:
Excuse me sir, but you have not taken your medication regularly. According to our database, you only purchased a box of 30 cholesterol tablets once, at Drug RX Network, 4 months ago.

CALLER:
I bought more from another drugstore.

GOOGLE:
That doesn’t show on your credit card statement.

CALLER:
I paid in cash.

GOOGLE:
But you did not withdraw enough cash according to your bank statement.

CALLER:
I have other sources of cash.

GOOGLE:
That doesn’t show on your last tax return unless you bought them using an undeclared income source, which is against the law.

CALLER:
WHAT THE HECK!!!

GOOGLE:
I'm sorry, sir, we use such information only with the sole intention of helping you.

CALLER:
Enough already! I'm sick to death of Google, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and all the others. I'm going to an island without internet, cable TV, where there is no cell phone service and no one to watch me or spy on me.

GOOGLE:
I understand sir, but you need to renew your passport first. It expired 6 weeks ago…

I work in Big Data, and sadly, the truth is far worse than that.
Every single thing that we do can be and is captured and analyzed (including me typing this post, and you reading it).
Plus, based on what we have done, they can predict with amazing accuracy what we will do in the future.

MINORITY REPORT here we come!

"One cannot choose but wonder. You see . . . he has all the time in the world!"

Google helped me fix my Spitfire! LOL

My dad got fired from the road crew for stealing. I just couldn't believe it, but when I got home, all the signs were there.

I remember reading about a woman that started getting pop up ads for baby food and clothes after just thinking about having a first child.
Apparently she was tracked via her cell phone as she walked around Walmart and was looking at things in the baby section.

So bad, ... so bad in so many ways,....

As opposed to people my age who are looking for medicated powder.

Carter,
This may be frighteningly true, but they still persist in sucking at giving relevant results when I search the web. I hope their decisions screw them up just as badly.
All the best,

Unless you have access to the data, the Data Science skills to use the tools, and a Hadoop cluster available to run on, not much chance to get useful results.

How many folks do you think are shopping online at Amazon in any given moment? A million?
Now, when you are shopping for a product, and see a message like 'People who bought <product name> also bought so and so ...' and they
show you 3 or 4 products, it's because the following has occurred:
They have guessed you age, gender, income range, geographical location, sexual preference, marriage status, race, ethnicity, level of education, etc.
and shopping history. Based on that, some very complex statistical modeling and processing is performed, to yield a list of the top most profitable items
that you are likely to also buy, while they have your attention (and your credit card ready).
That is all done, for everyone buying, within a couple of seconds.
It costs them perhaps 1 or 2 cents to run each calculation.
But it consistently averages perhaps 5-10% increase in overall sales volume.

I find that I get shown what I'm looking for, right after I bought it somewhere online.

I hate that stuff...… It wasn't 24 hours after I checked into my extended stay hotel in Dallas that I began to get phone calls from a Fort Worth number with an automated message asking if I needed new auto/property coverage in the Lone Star State..... Big Brother is here.... and his name is "Google"....
