Why would I want to get a brain augmentation surgically installed in my head when in 18 months it will be obsolete.
You may say, well just the connections to the brain would be surgically installed and the real processing power will be external. I have 2 problems with that:
What if I installed the equivalent of Sony Beta in my head because I thought it was superior, turns out loosing in the market to the VHS brain augmentation.
I would then have a port in my head. What kind of security problems arise there.
Of course the advantages may outweigh these problems:
That dosen't mean it was an accident that the name is very close to Asimov. With such a stupid acronym they probably came up with it after naming it Asimo.
Names are cooler when they have multiple meanings:
Someone posted that Asimo means "Legs too" in Japanese
There's the acronym "Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility"
Reminds me of what I did when N64 came out. I bought one, played with it for weeks. Got bored with it, and sold it to someone for the same price I had bought it for.
Presumably ticketmaster.com still doesn't LIKE deep-linking (despite being forced to accept it). So what if they implement a technical solution (of which there are many, some already mentioned here)? We still lose the feature of deep interconnectivity but I'm sure there's no legal recourse: "Hey judge! Make them let us deep link!"
And I'm sure it would have cost a lot less to develop such a system than the legal costs of going after the deep linkers did.
When a link for "Pix of The Crusoe Chips" showed up in my email I thought it might be the mispelling of chocolate chips--the one that seems to be getting people into trouble... and I didn't want to see those pix!
If you want to be selfish instead of helpful maybe. But it doesn't make sense to me to sue a school district because it had limited resources to teach you with.
Maybe voulenteering would be a better solution.
BTW, I'm in the same boat. Typing was the only thing taught on computers in my high school.

Of course the advantages may outweigh these problems:Because arms are used for balance. Try walking around on ice with your hands in your pockets.

- And there is the similarity to Asimov
Maybe this was their plan:stop, your both right.
I don't think it's "wrong". It just makes me more likely to use IE than Netscape.

I think gnutella would really profit from a reputation manager as preached by Jakob Nielsen.
Spam floats to the bottom. Quality servers float to the top.
Just a thought
