    I think I'll wait until they get LeibnizOS running on one of these things.

    I'm looking to the future, it's Bohring.

    a basic AI interface that can turn commands like "call Darren" into a sequence that'll actually dial your brother's telephone number

    Must be the crappy handwriting recognition everyone talks about. My brother's name is "Victor."
