It's never going to be the year of Linux on the desktop, because the desktop is dying. Last week was about laptops, yesterday was about phones and today is about tablets.
Yes, yes. We all know that quote from The Simpsons that gets posted every time there's an article about robots replacing people in the workplace and factories.

Yes, the Google logo on the left is a bit different than usual but not enough to tell me what it was about.
If I want to buy something new and consumer-grade such as a DVD, games, etc - I go to Amazon.
If I want to buy something rare, used or low-cost specialized hardware/electronics sold directly from China such as SPI-driven LCDs - I go to eBay.
Anyway they're not competing on the same level. Amazon is testing out delivery by drones for the future but eBay is already installing delivery tubes in my neighbourhood. I guess Futurama was right after all!
There is, as of this writing, FOURTY-FUCKING-FOUR posts with the "About six months ago, I was overexerting myself trying to get rid of a terrible virus on a client's PC..." spam. The worst thing is, it's only a few users who posted those and all posted within the same minute of each copy.
Isn't there supposed to be a timer to prevent more than X posts per minute? How are these jerks bypassing them?
Drones are just tools. Given how much spying is going on, you'd think people would be forming mobs in all cities on the planet demanding that cellphones and computers be illegal to own. But drones are new so they are the target-du-jour.

The whoosh sound is from the drone carrying the joke.
Last week, in fact.
D'oh!
The PS4 version of FF XIV is supposed to have both the gamepad UI of the PS3 and the keyboard+mouse UI of the PC version.
Hurray, more time to play Final Fantasy XIV with my friends!

On a side note, Radioactive Man is the only man on the planet who's immune to Google Glass.
The US dollar is backed by the credit of the US government? You mean the same US government that's neck-deep in debt right now?
I use my old iPhone 3GS as an iPod touch. No SIM card, no service, no signal to trace.
I'm not your guy, friend!
I also have a transformer. It's a car that can turn into a robot.

But what if they're getting better? What happens if they want to go for a walk?

As a Mac user, I love technology. That's why I love my Quad-Core 2 iCore7 Duo!
