...The Google 10^100 Project turns out to be a sham<br /><br />I don't know how familiar you are with the Google 10 ^100 project, but in a nutshell, Google had a contest last year to pick the 10 best ideas to make the world a better place. They received 150,000 entries. They said they would pick 100 ideas to put to a vote last year and fund the best ideas up to $1,000,00 each. They missed the selection dates again and again until finally last week they put up 16 general ideas for a vote. These weren't even submitted ideas but rather general categories like:<br /><br />Better education in Africa<br />Socially conscious tax policies etc.<br /><br />What a sham. There was no transparency back to the original ideas, no recognition of submitters and they completely ignored the original terms that they published. In the end, Google got a huge amount of publicity and they just ignored what 150,000 people did. On top of all that, Google has laid some kind of joint intellectual property claim to all submissions.<br /><br />A Major News organization needs to report on this fraud.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />MarkUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16446885838106147620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14016359.post-26202083235511925972009-04-23T11:41:00.000-07:002009-04-23T11:41:00.000-07:00When it crashed it caused my client to lose some p...When it crashed it caused my client to lose some permanently downloaded mail, too.Sky Captainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15154273736917461358noreply@blogger.com
