How can you fuck up producing CDs? At their current state, the product is well-established, and no design work needs to be done by Google. Plus, if they took the music industry, they'd take the contracts with the factories that produce the CDs already.
They can only go up. Any new features they add to CDs will be welcomed.
OCR and voice recognition are interesting problems, but they've been done very well before. The breaking ground is the natural language processing and knowledge engine. ArtDent was pointing out that those things were absolutely trivial, and would require only the processing power of a good desktop computer. They need not reinvent the aerosol can to show they have achieved something real.
The worst publicity stunt is one without innovation or interesting achievement. I believe IBM has done both, and also made a good show of it. I think many here are nitpicking menial details to death, an interesting achievement we see a lot on Slashdot.
In effect, Google does all the tough work of calculating the PageRank and using it to display relevant results. Then Bing comes along, shortcuts any real work, and simply takes the end result of Google's work without their permission, then sticks their name on it.
If I spent years putting together a list of data from millions of sources all over the world and finally released it, then you put it on your website without giving me any credit, I'd be pissed and everyone would agree it was wrong of you to do.
(That rebuke only applies to how I interpreted what you say Bing's doing. I could be wrong.)
Freedom to travel is an inalienable right, and though there are many laws that apply to driving on public roads, they do not apply to private roads. Forcing someone to not be able to drive drunk on their own property is taking away their freedom.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with car manufacturer's adding this feature without nudges from the government. I'd still complain, but it wouldn't be illegal, I just wouldn't buy that car. The second the government steps in and makes it mandatory is when there's a problem.
What about the natural right of revolution spelled out in the Declaration of Independence? The key word not just being "right," but "natural right," meaning no matter who tells you otherwise, just by being a human you have that right.
This hacking vs. cracking mess does nothing to dispel the ambiguity. They both sound equally terrifying to John Q. Public, and it's impossible to change that. It's a case of "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em."
I attend UCF, and they do allow it. There are many ways to go over a student's case, but they would probably choose a Formal Hearing, which calls for their advisor, the teacher, and the student. Because that would take forever for 200 students, I'm sure they pander to cheats and liars not only because there are so many, but because the admins are lazy, too.
Everything about Facebook is designed like the Hotel California, and Zuckerberg knows that but refuses to make any meaningful changes.
Wasn't it reported a couple weeks ago that Facebook rolled out a download your profile option? And for years now, they've allowed you to completely delete your profile and any record they had of it (with a grain of salt). So maybe you can't use Facebook while feeling completely safe, but at least know there is a highway option.
I like that 98% said they want to use technology for medical education, but only 80% said games had an educational value. There's an entire 18% that just want to put down the books and play a video game; they don't even care if it helps.

You are surely disrespecting those with one eye by suggesting they can't recognize objects.
For the same reason bank robbers can rob banks.
You say this as if it wasn't their intention.

I could do with some more Jackson Browne.
Oh, it's completely agnostic of the site the user is currently visiting? Then I did misunderstand. My bad!

Frankly, I want the Old Corp back.

Because it requires skill, intelligence, and patience to work a mailing list.
Mod +1 Inconceivable.
No, Tai.
We were looking for Hitler.
I like to think it's a couple kids who put baby powder in some toner cartridges.
I like that you included "consumers," meaning all that enjoy the product, including torrenters.
Microsoft would still sell it to customers.
