Mode parent up! Do not seems reasonable to consider the "conscience" as a phenomena inherent to the biological brain. In fact - and this is somewhat ironic -, the most successful intelligent systems are based in cognitivist approaches, which are a little bit far away from the conexionist approach. While I do not believe that this situation will last much longer (given the difficulties in programming symbolic reasoning systems), I do not also believe that the brain simulation approach is the only way to go, or even the most efficient way to go.
I beg to differ with you. Lyx is far from be a good tool for use in a daily basis. Tired from Word, I recently tried to enter de Latex world by the Lyx door. It indeed helped me to learn the logic behind the latex, but I soon realized that I was using a tool that was less user-friendly than Word and less flexible than raw Latex. So I simply started to code raw latex in a text editor. I only thing I miss from Lyx is the good revision system.
The settlement, 'takes the vast bulk of books that are in research libraries and makes them into a single database that is the property of Google,
Funny. It sounds like Google is going to steal the soul of these book and jail them in their databases.
Hehe. There is no logic in this argument. The books are still available at the respective libraries. What is the problem in making them available at other place?

Mama mia! Now they can start developing the bistromatic engine!
That is easy! Just go to bed and sleep. If you are lucky enough, it will happen. Well... sort of.
the navigators will have to be proficient in a new discipline of relativistic navigation.
Probably you are trying to say that the computers will have to be proficient in this new discipline.
In this case WE are the AI. In fact, this would explain a lot of things.

This is the "music as a service" model. Soon, they will try to take control even on my volume knob.

They are just the corporate equivalent or "be nice to me or I will fuck your girlfriend"
Indeed. If you look closer, everything in the world is about having sex, in an way or another.
Well, maybe they are "beautiful" because they are not so common.
The only way to handle such things is to find a way to be the victim of the situation
But... but... Aren't we the victims?
Why did they take so much time to develop this? Now, they need to develop a more generic algorithm, for other kinds of materials.
This remembers me of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, when Arthur decided to go mad.
"I will go mad!" he announced.
"Good idea," said Ford Prefect, clambering down from the rock on which he had been sitting.
Arthur's brain somersaulted. His jaw did press-ups.
"I went mad for a while," said Ford, "did me no end of good."
I did. Nice to meet you.

They call everything a phd these days...
What about multidextrous?
Is this only happening with me? And I swear I am not using IE!

I think they will find it a little bit suspicious: "They say Mr. Obama was nice, but never that nice!"
I am willing to offer you a good one, but I couldn't find your address anywhere.

I totally agree...
They have a huge database of listening habits and cannot make money on it. It will be a good example of incompetence.
