8K would require actual improvements in technology. TV manufacturers will try to sucker people into paying extra for 3D, curved screens and other nearly useless features long before they actually improve anything.
Let's not forget that Reddit was also completely certain that Sunil Tripathi was involved in the Boston Marathon Bombing and harassed his family for days until the FBI actually caught up to the actual bombers, neither of which was Sunil.
Not quite yet. It needs to be peer reviewed by people who are equally unqualified to make predictions like this. Round up a scientologist, a flat-earther and a couple of anti-vaccination parents and you should be set.
That's not how unemployment works. Unemployed people do not increase your GDP and replacing 20 million people with automated systems does not add 20 million jobs for the newly unemployed people to take.
The article makes a lot of assumptions about security and reliability that it shouldn't. I see a very different future...
The doorbell rings, and itâ(TM)s the delivery of a new pair of running shoes, in the wrong size and in a style and color you hate. And you're a double amputee who doesn't have feet. Hereâ(TM)s the kicker: They were listed for $3,000 on eBay and you didnâ(TM)t order them. Your intelligent agent did after being hacked by the guy in Nigeria who placed the eBay listing.
But hey.. shipping was free, so at least you've got that going for you.
You can't trademark sound or lyric because they belong to copyright category.
Except that there are many companies which have obtained trademarks on distinctive sounds that they use for branding. There's a list of commonly-known examples in this Wikipedia article on the subject:
Sounds great. Why don't you list the plethora of free software based tablets that are comparable to the Kindle's specs and price so that everyone can buy those instead.
Oh, right. There aren't any that come remotely close. I wonder if that could have anything to do with companies producing hardware having to actually make a profit?
US customers pay tax in addition to the list price, so they aren't getting these for $90.
Demanding that the UK get preferential treatment by paying the same $90 list price (20% of which will go to taxes, leaving Amazon with a sale price of $75, which is almost certainly a money-losing proposition) shows that you have a shockingly retarded understanding of economics.
It depends on the model of Kindle in question. On some it's $30, some it's $20 and on this one it's $15. As far as I know, none have ever cost more than $30 to remove ads.
Really? Because the linked article says "Newspaper De Telegraaf reported the car's battery was broken, and part of it caught fire and was difficult to extinguish." which clearly indicates that there was a fire.
Seriously, do they not train rescue workers? If so then why don't they train them to respond to electric and hybrid vehicle crashes so that they know what's safe and what's not? It's their job, they should know what the heck they're doing.
The linked article also says "De Boer said since firefighters were certain the victim had died immediately after the crash, it did not make sense for rescue workers to take unneeded risks in recovering his body." which clearly explains why the firefighters didn't risk their lives even if the chance of electrocution was very small.
Maybe next time you're about to go off on a rant like this, you should take the time to read the linked article before you make yourself look stupid in public.
Perhaps you should consider changing the setting that enables/disables connections to unknown devices rather than whining about it doing what you've told it you want it to do.
And if your phone somehow doesn't have that setting, upgrade to literally any other phone on the market.
It doesn't matter if those results are positive or negative. All that matters is the number. If you make a language and get ten billion people to post on indexed sites about how badly your language sucks, your language would take the top spot on the TIOBE Index.
So... yeah. This is about as lame of an index as you could possibly come up with.
While you wouldn't actually be distanced from everyone else, a VR headset and noise cancelling headphones might be enough to get the feeling of having time to yourself.
They had other things too, though they were mostly kinda crappy because they had to be shelf-stable for at least a year without refrigeration, which translates to a lot of powdered and freeze dried foods (though they did grow some fresh vegetables to supplement). Here's a blog entry about the food from Cyprien Verseux's blog. The six legged reconstituted freeze dried turkey is both innovative and horrifying.
There's nothing like a whiny, demanding 11 year old throwing a tantrum and screaming about how much they hate you to make you wish you'd stuck to oral.
Adding the obvious interpretation to the meaning of the phrase 'beg the question' is hardly going to introduce ambiguity. In point of fact, the large number of people who 'mis-use' the phrase demonstrates that the real meaning is the ambiguous one.
English is a living language, not a dead language like Latin. In living languages, the meanings of words and phrases evolves and changes over time. When almost everyone is using a particular word or phrase in a certain way, that way becomes a valid meaning.
That is what has happened with the phrase "begs the question", which means that everyone else is actually right and the pedants are wrong. In fact, the pedants who keep making this argument are actually trying to get everyone to behave as if English was a dead language in some misguided notion that they're protecting it.
Their stock went up by more than 20% on April 29th, too, when they announced that they were being bought by Abbott Labs.
After speculation causes a jump like that, prices always tend to drop back off as reality sets in and the late-comers to the party have realized that the stock isn't going up any more and they're ready to sell quickly in order to cut their losses at the slightest hint that the price may go down further.

There's also the question of whether David Cameron stuck his dick in it or not.

I'm guessing he started shooting because his construction work wasn't killing enough people.

I suggested you to visit USPTO Trademark page, so that you wouldn't spread your misunderstanding/misinformation to others.
Because being wrong just wasn't embarrassing enough, you had to go and be all condescending about it as well. How's that egg on your face feel?

First off, there was no fire.
Really? Because the linked article says "Newspaper De Telegraaf reported the car's battery was broken, and part of it caught fire and was difficult to extinguish." which clearly indicates that there was a fire.

Basically the calculation comes down to counting hits for the search query "language programming"

I wonder if VR might help with the privacy issue.

No, all you really did was demonstrate that you're a dumbass. I never used the phrase incorrectly in any of my posts.

So suck on that, pedant.

The linked article gives the same numbers, so the blame lies with the author of the article; Brandon Hill.

Projectile vomiting is common in thirty per cent of users-sorry, fifty per cent. If you undergo disorienting nausea accompanied by migraine and raspy breathing, double the dosage. Leg cramps are to be expected; one knee-buckler per day is normal. Bowel movements may become frequent-in fact, every ten minutes. If bowel movements become greater than twelve per hour, consult your doctor, or any doctor, or just anyone who will speak to you. You may find yourself becoming lost or vague; this would be a good time to write a screenplay. Do not pilot a plane, unless you are among the ten per cent of users who experience "spontaneous test-pilot knowledge." If your hair begins to smell like burning tires, move away from any buildings or populated areas, and apply tincture of iodine to the head until you no longer hear what could be taken for a "countdown." May cause stigmata in Mexicans. If a fungus starts to grow between your eyebrows, call the Guinness Book of World Records. May induce a tendency to compulsively repeat the phrase "no can do."

You might want to get a one-month trial subscription to Extreme Fighting. The hook shape of the pill will often cause it to become caught in the larynx. To remove, jam a finger down your throat while a friend holds your nose to prevent the pill from lodging in a nasal passage. Then throw yourself stomach first on the back portion of a chair. The expulsion of air should eject the pill out of the mouth, unless it goes into a sinus cavity, or the brain. WARNING: This drug may shorten your intestines by twenty-one feet. Has been known to cause birth defects in the user retroactively. Passing in front of TV may cause the screen to moiré. Women often feel a loss of libido, including a woo-octave lowering of the voice, an increase in ankle hair, and perhaps the lowering of a testicle.
