-Let me run my old PC games
-Let me run current PC games (without great hassle)
-Let me run applications specific to my line of work (3d studio max, maya, premiere, photoshop, and various game engines)
I'd just like to point out that Wine 1.0 was released about a week ago.
There were no solid implementations written in C for any of these systems. This is the problem that I see with AI in general. The lack of usable code is a hindrance to AI development. A long time goal of mine has been the creation of an AI api that would cover all forms of AI, thus allowing any developer to use AI in any program. Of course this would need to be open source and cross platform.
Instead of researchers in a lab, AI algorithms would be available to anyone in a form that is easy to implement. People could focus on how to use it, instead of how to get it to work in the first place. New combinations of methods (or entirely new methods) will be devolved as people work to solve real world problems, on real world budgets and time tables.
Progress is flatlining. I wouldn't say that it is flat lining, I would say it's taking a breather. Alot of basic research is being done right now, some of which won't yield dividends for decades. We're still trying to understand the impact this sudden burst of technology has had on us and the planet. I'd imagine we'll have a repeat of the last century. We'll do a bunch of basic research in the first half, followed by rapid advancement in the second half.
In my opinion, the impact the internet has had is unappreciated. It has vastly increased the ease of collecting, maintaining, disseminating information, and communication between individuals. No other technology has had such a fundamental impact on society. While not having such a visible impact as the car, it has crept into every single aspect of society. Because of this ubiquity, more people have access to new thoughts and ideas, which leads to more seeds for new technologies and scientific discoveries being planted. You won't necessarily see an increase in the number of discoveries made in one field, but you will see and increase in the discoveries across many fields.
ICANN is completely controlled by the US government, and they have proven countless times they will act against the best interests of the internet when American Corporate Interests require it.

What does Jesus have to do with this?
The Athenians used a lottery system to fill government posts.
I thought it was clicking on all those pop-ups talking about enhancement?

I live in the 20th century, you insensitive clod!
Are you refering to the Philip J. Fry from universe A or universe 1?
There are better alternatives, but the brand name is so popular that competetors don't stand a chance.
We've combined all the best qualities of you're wife/mother/girlfriend and a used car sales man into one outstandingly neat phone.

I see that you have read Peter's Evil Overlord List http://www.eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html
Everyone knows that the World Wide Web is a passing fad.
I for one welcome our inanimate carbon overlords.
