Apple has forgotten that people will happily pay Apple premium prices for sexy and novel products, but will pay anybody the lowest price possible for mundane, widely available features. Why would apple want to associate itself with commodity products?
Having lived with humans for 400 years, dogs have learned their moods and how to appeal to them. Free room and board are the results.
AI-based robots will learn about dogs (and humans) much faster.
The new reality is that dogs will be robots best friends, and robots will be humans best friends.
We haven't a chance.
Coming real soon: AI-based authorware. Anyone will be able to become an author, generating many "good enough" books every day.
Contrived and derivative plots. Who cares?
As long as they please hoi polloi, who needs professional authors?
Why don't supermarkets frisk everyone leaving the store, to catch possible shoplifters?
I would rather risk the occasional terrorist attack than surrender my liberties in an impossible quest for perfect safety.
East Asian, and particularly South Korean, competitors have faster product cycle times based on Japanese kaizen (incessant incremental improvement).
Give Apple's long product cycles and limited number of models, the only way the company can compete is by making quantum leaps in technology.
All it takes is one missed cycle to become uncompetitive. Ask Motorola and Blackberry.
Take it back?
The U.S. Government developed the Internet, and it was paid for by U.S. taxpayers.
Schneier may be a computer security expert, but he is no historian.
Lives there a human so resolutely benighted as to be unaware that the EU spies on other countries, as do the Russians, Chinese, and every other government, with the possible exception of the Kingdom of Polish Bohemia?

Putin's ego knows no bounds. Reminds me of what's-his-name occupying the White House.
Zero-point energy? Neutrinos? Gravity?
It's wise to put your company's future in the hands of people overseas. Nothing could go wrong there.

Brain waves. That will prevent someone from loading your car on a truck and driving it away.

That particular job sounds especially hellish.

Domestic and foreign intelligence agencies know this already.
Google is going to confuse the NSA?
Snobs.
To aliens from another planet, we humans might appear to be extremophiles. At least we'd be worthy of study. There's that.
It only takes 2 hours to copy a $2.99 book. Such a deal.
How dare humans protect themselves? That's racist.
Though spoken Chinese dialects are not mutually intelligible, their scripts are, so written Chinese is common to China.

You remember NASA, don't you? That's the group who went to the moon over 40 years ago, but now has to ask the Russians to take a crap in space.
Still think it was a good idea for Congress to cancel the Superconducting Supercollider?
I hold the patent trolling patent, so I'm going to sue the ass of every last patent troll.
FYI, "Todai" is the abbreviation for "Tokyo Daigaku" (University of Tokyo).
