"Google Now" Named PopSci's Innovation Of The Year

[zerocool84]

I've searched for somewhere to eat near where a friend lives and Google Now automatically told me how long to get there. Hell, it even compared how many steps I took in two different months.

I've experienced all the other things except the stocks. How does it know which stocks you have?

Uh it doesn't know what stocks you own. It is linked to your Google Finance account and you just tell it which portfolio or stocks to track. I track APPL for example even though I don't own any.

I have a problem with the OP having to post that line. Yeah, Google Now's great. We can talk about how amazing it is, but of course we have to slip a line in and jab Apple? Har?

It could have been a jab at MS.

Now do you feel better?

That's what I meant, I wanted to know how it knew what stocks to track. I've never looked at google finance. I shall check it out, cheers.
