G+_Marlon Thompson Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Okay I just had one of those freak out moments about Google Now, tell me if I am being paranoid. I open up Google Now this morning and in the sometimes annoying Research section I see an urban dictionary entry for "phrasing". Now truth be told I love the show "Archer" and I just started watch season 4 two days ago. But in the past 3 months I have only watched one video on YouTube related to the show and I have liked one post on Google+ about it. But I use the term often in my office, is my phone listening to me . Am I being paranoid, what gives? And that's my Google Now Freakout moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Wade Shields Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Not paranoid, but no, I don't think it's listening. Check your search history to see if you ever did a search for it. I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Marlon Thompson Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Wade Shields Checked my search history as well and nothing there, I even went back a few months. The only thing I can think of was that I watched Archer on Netflix on my phone but they shouldn't be able to grab what I watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Wade Shields Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I don't think they see netflix usage either. I don't know. There us that new TV card that works you you are on the same wifi network as your smart tv, but I don't quite understand that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Nestor Custodio Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 The whole promise of Google Now was that it would eventually be able to anticipate your knowledge needs and answer your questions before you've asked them. Seems like that's exactly what it's doing, Lorri Helms , so where's the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Wade Shields Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I agree Nestor Custodio I would like to get this kind of functionality from GN. I do understand and "what the. ." factor though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
