Very true, especially when I explain this to various people most of them (that aren't like, from the internets) can't believe what I am saying. They don't believe a company like facebook isn't looking out for their interests. So no, facebook isn't making their business clear.
Would you say that it is kind of like when a person is put in prison for a mild crime and then the influence from being in such a place makes them even more dangerous when they are let out?
Maybe he is a Simpsons geek? I don't really watch the show. Not since 1999 I think. I still watch Power Rangers... I guess that makes me more of a social outcast tho : /
also, apple is a hypocrite. They insist that a Mac and PC are two different things entirely! To stay in line with that line of thinking Jobs should just refer to other phones as just phones and his is the iPhone.
If cable monopolies were broken up the government would have to then take ownership of the lines. The whole reason we have these crazy de facto monopolies is due to ownership of lines. There are a lot of companies out there but none of them play on each others' turf. There needs to be access to more than one cable provider in the same area or more than one fios or dsl or whatever format.
I agree with you whole heartedly. I am a Go player, so I understand that strategy and intuition come in to play with this type of game where "war" is concerned. The most advanced Go programs can't defeat a low level player. Being able to look at the board as a whole and not a series of spaces seems to be beyond these AI. In Starcraft I would imagine that an AI can't plan ahead for the types of actions a human would take. Being able to micro manage and deal with skirmishes and build orders and such is just a mechanical action. Just the basics of combat. Placement, actions, and timing of such is what matters. Not just that you send out a group to attack but where and when matter in the whole of the match. Planning ahead, asserting influence, being creative. These are the abilities humans have over the AI.
Desktops are seen as overly thick web clients with a word processor.
Which is what an iPad is. I am not suggesting that the iPad should replace a desktop by any means. It's just an extension of your home computing ecosystem.
seriously! I don't have mod points so I give you high five!
These days being a techy or being a car guy crosses over. I can't believe you friend argues that carbs are better than EFI! Yes carbs are more manly cuz you can go in there and just tune it with your hands and it sounds awesome and smells badass. But carbs gotta be tuned all the time and arent exact and can't be controlled on the fly during the whole engine range. Computers can do that for us. Also electronic parts don't need to be tuned. You just replace! Easy as pie. People just don't wanna have to learn something that they have no clue about. It makes me sad that there seems to be so many more people these days that dont know shit about computers. Like the kids now dont know shit! people think they should cuz they are all texting or using devices and such but all they are doing is using stuff. Knowing how stuff works is a trait that should be more popular but it is not.

there is a reason that only a very small portion of the population actually gets paid to design things.
in 1972, all the computing power in the world back then would fit into a cell phone today.
So you're saying all I need to get to the moon is a cell phone?
all you need is some red stone ore and some pickaxes and shovels.
yea, it's literally terrorism!

You could have just gone with "mess with the best, die like the rest".

An iPad does just that...
