I don't think that people actually in the industry believe that Jobs or Musk invented anything. What they did was to bring things together, provide the organization and the motivation and the vision to bring a product to market. It's an entirely different skill set than that of an "inventor".
Apple had a concept video from the late 80's I think that showed someone interacting with their Mac (a laptop with a foldable screen) that behaved like a secretary...probably about 130-140% of Siri's capability at the moment. This may be it. Youtube is blocked at work so I can't be sure.
It relayed the content of the voice mail much like a secretary would,( "So and so called and said they'd be late for the meeting but they'd have the reports"), adjusted appointments, etc.
Clearly he is angry at being associated with the belief in God.
Why?
Would you be angry if someone associated you with the belief in Blue Ferries? Or would you simple say, "whatever". Both are irrational in the mind of an Atheist. But only the association with the belief in God evokes anger.
Or, who knows, he may not like Blue Ferries either.
And yet he felt compelled to to comment on the fact that people were making the comparison.
You know, and I know, that people who immediately trot out some scorn for those "believing" in so far unobserved things like Hawking radiation/black hole evaporation will sometimes equate that willingness to (for now) accept such things as plausible working theories...... with being the same as having faith in anthropomorphic deities.
He is offended that someone would equate his belief in an unobservable phenomenon with the belief in God. But why? If he was an honest atheist, he would ignore it.
If someone said that you believed in Blue Fairies, would you be offended? I suspect not. You would simple dismiss them as a crackpot.
Any marriage counselor will tell you that the opposite of Love is not Hate, but Indifference. When you hate someone or something you are acknowledging their/its existence and displaying a ongoing attachment.
As an Angry Atheist, you are not displaying a lack of faith in God or even a non-belief in God, but a hatred that implicitly acknowledges the existence of something you understand to be God. You cannot hate what you don't acknowledge to exist. Therefore you must in some way acknowledge God's existence.
A true and sincere Atheist would have simply ignored the comment.
I rented a Ford Focus. It has all these screens, keypads and shit.
There was one very large button labeled Radio. I pressed it and nothing happened. Turns out that you had the press the much smaller button only labeled Vol to turn the radio on. Then there were these button on the center console, right in the middle and above the volume button. Unlabeled. Left to tune down, right to tun up...right? Nope. It control the "feature selection" on a screen on the dash. Tuning buttons were much smaller and in the upper right and only labeled with a left arrow and right arrow.
Then I looked down by the shifter. There, was a placard that said, "Powered by Microsoft".
Firing a weapon in a populated area except in defense of life and limb is a colossally stupid idea and patently against the law, just because your privacy is being violated is no excuse.
Or, if you are in an environment managed by CSC and THEY chase versions so they can charge, you'll come in on a Monday and everything has gone to shit.

...they'll be paying everyone $70k a year minimum just like Gravity Payments.
Of course, that didn't work out too well

Irony: Cyclists who ride down the middle of a road built for cars complaining about pedestrians walking down the middle of a path built for bikes.

Men are much, much better at that after age...of, 12 or so give or take a few years.
Temp forecast for today is a seasonable 98F.
I'll stick with my truck. You can bike all you want...just stay out of my way.
Ha! I suspect it would more likely be bricked.
I'm keeping my car and my truck and my motorcycle.
I can work on all three and keep them running for decades.
How many groceries can you carry?
How often do you go grocery shopping?
I'll be sure to carry a supply of D cell batteries I can toss to any electric car owner I see on the side of the road, completely out of juice.
Say, how much electricity can you carry in a 2 gallon container?
Isn't that some kind of Privilege?
Is Jesse Jackson going to get involved?
Complete Adrenalectomy.
Done at 7AM on Monday went home noon on Tuesday afternoon. Nothing but Tylonel, pain free by Wed morning. Dr. said less than a cup of blood was lost.
Now I have 5 cool looking, little holes that I tell people were gunshot wounds.
He used a Da Vinci robot.
Alternative was open surgery, complete with a 6 inch incision and a week in the hospital.

Baseballs, slingshots, yarn, hosing it down, etc. All fair game I bet.
So if a neighbor was looking over the fence, you'd have at him with a shotgun?
This is a universally a very bad idea.
Discharging any weapon in a populated area except at a proper range or in defense of your life is generally illegal and a very bad idea.
I suspect he would be facing the same charges if he were merely shooting crows in his backyard.

WTF M.S?
Depends on how much pressure it takes to compress them into a liquid.
Irony: Liquid Microwaves that won't cook yer Hotdog.
That has to be the most paranoid, pedantic and inane wiki article I've ever read.
The term "Democrat..." has been used countless times by DEMOCRATS themselves on television for as long as I can remember.
You might as well get your panties in a twist because people don't call you "Star-Lord".
CSC manages our company's computers. They update just about every week, removing features, adding security, and breaking our software.
Automatic updates are stupid, ill advised and can bring down entire production systems.
Can anyone cite any instance of one cable provider buying another and then seeing the rates go down and selection go up?
