That's fine. I could care less what Apple does as I don't do business with them for a multitude of reasons. Forking Android is a great idea. What I want is not to have to root and flash my phone to get a non-spyware OS. If a handset manufacturer offered a "real" OS that respected it users, then my guess is that that would be very very well received....just sayin'
I did that in '06. Best damned computational move I've ever made. I'm not lookin' back Boss,,, Actually, without corporate and government gravy, M$ would be populating the bread lines. M$: You forget who you really work for. The people that you call "CONSUMERS" are the true engine of corporate growth. YOU SERVE THE BWANKERS!!!

Inverse square law. A current MRi is big enough to put your body in the cavity. A small unit would be right against your scalp. Plus, we have some extraordinarily strong magnets available to augment the fields generated by the unit. I don't think this is impossible, but I bet the battery life will be in the toilet...
Follow the money and it will invariably lead you to a pool of slime... A huge chunk of that knowledge is publicly funded and thus belongs in the public domain anyway. Just another example of privatizing the gains and socializing the losses...
Ignorance is the best therapy for depression. Turn off the TV, kill the Internet for an evening, sit down with a good book or a movie (no ads!!!!) or play a board game with the kids. Orrr, go outside to a dark place and look at the sky. There's a million things to do that don't involve being in everybody's face constantly.
Also, FB is a feedlot. What happens at a feedlot? The sick get weeded out and the rest get slaughtered.
There's an old saying on Wall St., "The markets are driven by two emotions, greed and fear." Oh how true this is, and much much larger than the crass mammonites feeding on the souls of the hapless. Interestingly, if you know someone that is truly unhappy, if you observe this person carefully, they will eventually reveal the source of their unhappiness, and almost always it will be tied to one or the other or both of these base emotions. If you help them address the greed or fear, you will really actually help them...
The idea of a UBI is not an impossible dream. I have no doubt that we will eventually shun the concept of money and with it power and property. Assuming we survive the approaching catharsis.
My theory is as follows: The universe is a garden. Full of life, the proverbial Garden of Eden. We never left the garden... Life is everywhere. Panspermia... That being said, advanced civilizations such as ours are exceedingly rare. Maybe only a handful in the Milky Way. Of the countless advanced civilizations that are born, only a handful survive. Why? I don't know. I don't think we have a plausible theory on that yet.
For our particular circumstances, we are approaching an existential threat. Did you follow the 5 match tournament between DeepMind's AlphaGo and Lee Se-Dol? AlphaGo won 3 of 3. This is significant. Strong AI is on the move, and it will move exponentially.
The point has been made painfully and repeatedly clear. Man cannot rule himself.
I could grind on this for weeks, so let me cut it short:
Man cannot rule himself. We will either destroy ourselves or we will find a way for our progeny AI to rule us. The Singularity is coming. What will we do with our sentient child? Will we use it to make autonomous weapons?, or will we use it to make an incorruptible policeman that treats all equally under the law?
Assuming we don't blow ourselves up, money will no longer have meaning and power will evaporate. All the power will be in the hands our our benevolent overlords. The kidlings will almost certainly live to see it. You and Jon will probably live to see it. It will be the renaissance that takes us to the stars.
Me, not so much,,,
If you want to explore this further, food will be necessary...;-D
P.S. Do you remember the 1951 movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still"? It was based on a short story by Harry Bates called "Farewell to the Master", attached. It's a good movie, watch it.
My strictly uneducated guess is that the universe is a garden, full of life. Advanced civilizations however, are probably quite rare. They will tend to self-destruct at just about the place we are now. That being said, i would venture to say that there are maybe a handful of advanced civilizations in the Milky Way.

DANG! I wish I had some mod points. +1 4 U.
AI's first autobiography...
Now they need the money. I'm sure the TLAs are feeding them bookoo taxpayer bucks for their shilliness...

Here, I gave you one of mine,,, Oh dang, now I can't moderate this thread...

These charlatans needed to be put out of business 40 years ago...
...and getting eaten by Tigers.
The lines between corporations and government are getting blurrier by the day. Those with an ear, let them hear...
The dog ate it...
It's pads all the way down...
Your point can be reasonably extended to any and all pubic servants...
The problem is that your average granny isn't going to know how to do that. If M$ gave a crap, autorun would be off by default.
...and this post was signed by me and me and me and me
Nice rant. Sorry I don't have any mod points today, but you get a +1 for this. Quite true and pandering to this hastens our collapse...
What happened during the prior 4 billion years? Maybe these moonlets are constantly being born and subsequently torn apart...

Be warned...
I sent this to a friend of mine yesterday:

Woof! Big topic.

Geez dude, English is not everybody's first language. I got the poster's message just fine. Chill out...
Yeah, kind of like Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Now THAT was a great OS.

I agree, GUI coding is the future...
