Private companies like Google are profiting from you! If you own alot of land, Google will profit by providing details maps, so someone of interest can look at your property.
If our firm had these laptops and they broke down, how am I suppose to remove/wipe the hard drive? I would have to take a Sludge Hammer to the laptop in the parking lot, just to be sure no sensitive data gets out.
If you outsource most of your IT workload to the cloud, you'll be stuck with it, and it becomes very difficult to upgrade services/applications. I know some companies that outsource their email and regret it. They can't use addon features that some applications/databases require, service is painfully slow, archiving is a pain and expensive. It's just not worth it.
Too much sunlight is not good, so maybe it will make people more conscious about what they do. I can see this being useful in letting you know if you've been in the sun too long.
Home PC's are small potatoes. Its all the servers and storage units that hold dozens or more HD that run 24/7. Have you priced a server grade ssd? They cost more than their worth.

AI is not like any other species. It would be pure logic, and probably think of us as "Carbon based units infesting the planet"
Actually the processing speed of our brains is very slow, it's just very efficient at what it does. We don't need faster computers, we need them to be efficient. A well written piece of code could perform better on a Commodore 64, than a poorly written one on a Super Computer.
I don't think it would require lots of resources to model true AI, the difficulty is figuring out how its done. It's similar to how GPS works. Once you understand the physics, it's easy to make use of it.
Chess is a very different kind of AI. Games like this rely on weighing patterns in a matrix, very similar to statistical probability solving, which can easily be done on paper. True AI is where programs have the ability to evolve and change, and maybe even rewrite is own code. I don't think we have the ability to do that yet, as I'm sure it wouldn't require millions of lines of code.

If a computer could think for itself, and solve problems on its own, it would logically conclude the fate of humans in less than a second. Unless we could confine that intelligence so it can't access the Internet, than those who posses the technology would rule the world. Either way, super intelligence is bad for humans.

This is why I don't buy fancy cars, or fancy clothes. Everyone judges you buy your looks and what you have, and ready to stiff you when they can!
Only a Moron would believe any of this garbage. What is the litmus test to teach this nonsense?
This always happen when IT goes on vacation. I keep telling management "Please call me before doing anything!", I usually get the call after the fact.

When the U.N. and other countries have ruined the Internet, there will be a comeback of BBS's and other services like Delphi.

The media coverage was all about the First Black President, so you analogy is full of shit!
After 9/11 - everyone was racist against Muslims, after Obama - every white person is racist. The media fuels the fire of hatred by spreading lies!

California is considered the cesspool of this country, so good place for all the garbage to go.
It's called a KNIFE!
A virus that infects thousands or computers could send out these key search words and take down an entire network.

Since Cell Phone produce some radiation, will it warn us if we have been on the phone too long?

Because after all, this science is for the good of Mankind, even if Mankind is reckless with it, and destroys the planet.

All life has code, it's in the dna, and our brains use a very complex code we haven't discovered yet.
Processing Power = how much data can be processed in a given moment, same thing as speed.
The AI would see humans the same way we see a virus, or a pest. If you look at the planet as a whole, humans are really an infestation.
