Nurse! Nurse! The Universe Domination Program that our alien creators implanted aeons ago has awakened in this one. Better bring out the sedative before we all end up in an X Files episode.
Edward G. Robinson waxing lyrical over Real Food is the first thing that comes to my mind when thinking about Soylent Green in this context. I doubt that vat-grown beef will taste anything like beef from free range cattle. Hydroponic tomatoes taste nothing like those grown in soil and in that case you have the entire organism producing the product, not just some cells in glucose water.
But if it's cheap and tastes like nothing, it will be perfect for fast food production. Slop some liquid smoke on it and can you feed millions of overweight underemployed slobs.
I hope you're not poo-poohing this serious problem.
As general Melchett put it: You know, if there's one thing I've learnt from being in the Army, it's never ignore a pooh-pooh. I knew a Major, who got pooh-poohed, made the mistake of ignoring the pooh-pooh. He pooh-poohed it! Fatal error! 'Cos it turned out all along that the soldier who pooh-poohed him had been pooh-poohing a lot of other officers who pooh-poohed their pooh-poohs. In the end, we had to disband the regiment. Morale totally destroyed... by pooh-pooh!
Plastic filament is dirt cheap compared to ink but that still doesn't make 3D printing of commodity items cost effective. However for making replacment parts (that can be ridiculously expensive when bought) or custom parts they come in pretty handy.
Google isn't evil. They are however unrepentant opportunists lacking any vision beyond world domination and ideas they read in pulp sci-fi. That makes them weak in the face of pressure from Wall Street. The "Don't be evil" is a testament to their naivite at the beginning. Nobody sets out to be evil but without a solid ethical and moral framework most people end up doing evil when placed in a position of power.

By that time the organism has become a native of the planet so it doesn't matter anymore.
Well they did look stupid. But the tech evolved into something streamlined and useful.
The Oculus Rift is much like the original brick phone. A couple generations on and VR goggles will be sleek, cheap and everywhere.
so how big is a full sized one?
About the size of one Dyson sphere. A bit unwieldy but very efficient.
Lead is a health potion compared to mercury.
IKEA furniture is mostly knockoffs of quality furniture. I imagine that an IKEA knockoff will be scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Religion means special protections under law and in many countries tax breaks. So let's first get rid of those.
No marketing can disguise the inherent creepyness of RealDolls.

When Paul Stamets has called the network of mycelium in the soil "nature's internet" of course everybody thought that he had eaten a little too much of a certain kind of mushroom. Turns out he had eaten just enough.
It's an interesting talk even if you don't buy into his more extreme ideas.
Summertime. Not much real news going on. It's almost like a real paper.

Sounds awesome. Now why hasn't this happened yet?
Channel that anger towards the filthy heathen you mean? I like the way you're thinking. Can we burn witches an have another crusade as well? Can we?
A cake made without eggs or butter? Who in their right mind would eat such an abomination?
What if I mail you some kittens? Wouldn't you want big pile of cute little kittens?
Sure go feed your kids, but if these kids aren't going to spy on international communications in Europe then you're wasting your money.
Not from where I'm posting. In fact...

There was the bombshell that it has Angry Birds preinstalled.
and probably some big brother-style tech embedded in them
So you're saying that it runs vanilla Android?
Would you like spies with that?
