A few weeks ago, Google held the 2010 EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) Faculty Summit in Zurich, where elite academics gather for “technical presentations, discussions and networking sessions, all targeted at strengthening partnerships with EMEA’s foremost computer science thinkers.” If you have no idea what this vague statement actually means, you are not alone.

Attendees discussed issues like “privacy and security,” as well as “green computing research.” If you care to see the specifics of the topics that the faculty actually talked about, visit Google Research. The FaceBook article from which this blog has drawn reads like what I write on mid-term essays when I am completely uncertain as to what I am discoursing about –in other word, be so nebulous and broad that you cannot possibly be wrong, though you are stating nothing of real substance either
