Let us not forget newer players: The Koreans.
My Korean built $9K 2005 Chevy Aveo is still going strong after 230K + miles.
Always a delight, while in the Aveo, to follow a new-ish Cadillac or Lincoln, and just can't help but notice that fancy new car has a defective or dead tail light.
Yes, small potatoes. but for a $60-$70-$80K vehicle one would expect the tail light to work... it's just that I see it all the time in rush hour traffic.
Will this stop exiting shoppers who have "sampled" fresh produce? Will the attendant make the grazing shopper pay for that grape?
Now that they've told us the cameras monitor changes in gaze and gait for could not someone practice theft techniques - to perfect a theft without altering known behaviors?
Do people from different cultures exhibit different bodily movements when preparing to commit a theft?
But, no cash in the store no cash robberies.
Prognosticators have been wrong before. While it is easy to poke fun at the unusual who knows, perhaps in a few years dental floss will come with AI. The thought of not having AI floss will be unthinkable.
Comcast got me $15.95 for an internet connection kit.The tech said there would be no internet access until this kit (piece of velcro, length of coax, and a splitter) were installed.
I already had a cable modem; everything was working before this junk arrived.
Guess I was lucky.
Lucky to be alive; still rattled. Both are likely to be employed; both will not be 100% on task the next day at work. Who pays for the loss of productivity - a loss that could persist? Sleepless nights? This is an event not soon to be forgotten by those falsely accused.
Was it just last week some Russian official nailed it, saying North Korea is reacting to US provocations? The US and other international players have been screwing with North Korea for a long time - pushing all the right buttons to make it appear as though NK is crazy.
Think of North Korea as a porcupine: small, almost invisible; poke it and it will stick it to you.

Did anyone think to ask Satoshi to just come forward before launching this expensive operation? Maybe Satoshi would have, saving tax payers a bundle - not saying the choice was, say, find Satoshi or build a library.
Can't beat them, use them. The "filamentous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus", can it be re-jiggered, MacGyver-like, to create longer, harder, stronger Daft Punk-like fibers to weave into clothing, or furniture?
Humans have evolved with fungi. Will removing them have unintended consequences?
Instead of putting these safety features in some of the most expensive vehicles why not put them in the vehicles involved in the most accidents? If one can afford a Cadillac, that person might not be subject to the same time and economic stresses as some over scheduled worker bee. It's going to be the under-slept harried grunt operating a vehicle while wired on caffeinated energy drinks rushing to the next appointment - updating the next client... these are the 99% on the receiving end of an auto accident. These are the folk who could benefit most from these technolgies.
Perhaps motors and gears and pulleys, oh my would make too much noise?
The graphics supplied conveniently omitted the beached cetaceans. How much undersea noise this will generate?
At an even more basic level Apple missed the boat. We order computers in lots of 500 or 1000. These eMacs - they do not stack well. Regular Dell desktops made of metal - you can stack these right up to the ceiling.
Good luck trying to find someone willing to learn how to swap logic boards in a MacBook. Apple service parts are expensive. Just had to buy a MacBook top case $170.00 - Chromebook part? $50.00 and one Phillips screwdriver - none of those tri-lobe jobs.
Can't stack Apples; too difficult/expensive to repair. Apple has not been thinking of us education tech support people in a very long time. What IT manager wants to have to put-up with whiney staff because Macs were purchased?
But, Apple Remote Desktop is fantastic - lightyears better than Crosstec for computer lab management.
Still I would rather repair 50 Chromebooks than 1 screen-cracked iPad.
But what if Trump gets wind of this? Will he say: "Let's make Mars great again". Could prolly fit a bunch of hotels and casinos on Mars for Musk's millions.
I prick am waiting damn for the honkey robots damn to bitch run slut amok... shit. Disabling the tourettesmachine....waiting for the day when the robots come to my house, take my stuff and put it back into a warehouse.
Then I will realize I did not need most of those items - can do just fine without them. This will be evolutionary bitch.
Once again a mysterious object is claimed to be composed of ice, suggesting water ice, but perhaps methane. When we get there the object is always dry hard rock composed of minerals known to form in extreme heat; everyone is surprised.
Until the educators master computer technology all hope is lost. Most teachers in the district I work would be hard pressed to describe the difference between a USB cable and an Ethernet cable.
What would a nation of expert coders look like? How many of these citizens would be impatient, diabetic, over weight and myopic; cheap to hire?
Sometimes I would be happy if a student found a work-around to the restrictions. At least they're trying something. Many students struggle with simple navigation within the computer. Having students merely select the correct printer is a huge win here.
User desktop placement of shortcuts to specific apps and sites is a constant request by teachers - who are severely time constrained - 45 minutes to get in and get out, yeah I get it. But if the student can't click on it the student can't do anything... and so students are spoon fed icons.
As a technician in a large school district malicious willful damage to the computers and peripherals is the bigger concern; some may call that boredom - or a short attention span side effect.
Solar scientists are unable to explain these temperature differences.
The American Astronomical Society recently had a gathering (http://aas.org/meetings/tess2015/)
where evidence was presented about yet another conjured-up feature/explanation: "nano-flares" in an attempt to explain the unexplainable. Solar scientists still mention magnetic reconnection as a possible mechanism.
The electric universe group suggest more weight be given to observational evidence instead of mathematical constructs. That perhaps gravity is not the only force actively shaping the cosmos. Instead of resorting to more bizarre phenomena such as dark matter/ dark energy, WIMPS, and so on - created mathematically to decipher the unknown - to make-it-fit in a gravity-only schema that electricity, evidence of which is acknowledged to be present in space is not a benign force.
Instead of dismissing the electrical universe theory with derogatory hateful words simply agree to disagree.
Even if we give the nuclear industry a pass on the problems/issues with radioactive waste disposal a tremendous amount of carbon is expended in the mining/refining and transportation of the nuclear fuel. This carbon foot print seems to be forgotten; it can because the location of the uranium ore is not a consideration for siting the reactor: out of site out of mind.
Hydro electric dams and wind turbines also have an initial carbon load. However once the dam or turbine is built only maintenance is required, not on going fueling, however small it may be.

We aren't fully using the intelligence to which we have access now. We we could use is more compassion and empathy.

Likely someone at JPL uploaded all mission data to Google drive; now they can't find it because no one remembers what they named the file.

Eight times zero is still zero. Until this is realized another billion dollars will be thrown at this generating a couple dozed PhD's.

My ISP tacks on an additional $2.00 to my bill should I have the audacity to pay in person at one of their office locations.

Alternative chicken. Alternative meats. Alternative foods. Alternative people. Electoral Success. Profits!
Since the oceans are now fully choked with discarded fishnets guess it follows we would pollute the cosmos with the same.

what will it look look like when everyone has a beowulf cluster of these? FTFY
