#Now the future is recorded

#7.
Recorded Future Inc. is a software company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States, specializing in web intelligence and predictive analytics. Using what they call a "temporal analytics engine", Recorded Future provides forecasting and analysis tools to help analysts predict future events by scanning sources on the Internet, and extracting, measuring, and visualizing the information to show networks and patterns in the past, present, and future. The software analyzes sources and forms "invisible links" between documents to find links that tie them together and may possibly indicate the entities and events involved.
This project which is said to be funded by Google and the CIA was founded in 2008 by Christopher Ahlberg. They say this tech will be particularly useful in 3 areas: Government, Competitive Intelligence and Finance.
The next obvious question will be: Can this predict the stock market? It seems it can; to some extent. I wonder what Google is up to. This will be a great tool for a search engine.

I will be glad if someone comes out with a tool to predict those surprise quizes.
