Sometimes I could swear that Google pay reporters to say dumb stuff like this so that anyone concerned about their growing information monopoly sounds like a crackpot:

QuoteBut Google failed to mention that it also now has the intelligence to determine things like when the next iPhone will be released. That's because Skybox measures the density of trucks outside Foxconn. If Google keeps a close eye on Foxconn, it could theoretically use that information to decide the optimal time to start discounting products, or ramping up its marketing campaigns.


Overall I think it was a pretty pro Google article.
