This reminded me of something that makes me chuckle. The Android commercial where the robot is saying "Get yourself an Android. Get yourself an Android"? The voice is exactly like Apple's Zarvox voice. I actually prepped my machine to say it the next time the commercial would come on to show to the wife. (She said "Neat" and went back to reading her book, lol)
Co-worker asked Siri "Where is the best spot to bury a body?" It provided a list of local graveyards and (the weird part) local parks! More interesting was the funny look when I asked her "Why did you ask that?" It you don't hear from in a few da.... ahhhH!
Are then any published testing results, experimental data? Sounds great, but we do hear about all kinds of wonderful stuff that "can do XYZ" really soon now.
For the 6 that downloaded Lady Gaga, they should be automatically declared guilty for bad taste. On the serious side, this "auto-guilty" stance is really going to get out of hand.
Terminals, network PCs, cloud, whatever. If companies want to put their stuff out "there," feel free. I want my grubby hand on my files. AND I use whiteout on them. (PITA take the drives in and out of the enclosure all the time, though)
Drop your new password off each month, with instructions to release to XYZ upon your death. Pain in the butt, but it securely keeps your passwords with a dead-safe fallback.
Then the government will buy the tech, and suddenly each one is 1,200X more expensive. And not because it needs to be MIL-SPEC standard, just because there will be an entire new department to deal with it, maybe even with a Printer Czar for the fun of it. So sick of the government right now. (Yes, I do vote)
Yep, when I was an IT guy (all design, typing, etc., but no hardware) for a contractor to the gov, I was billed at 3.8X what I got paid. Supposedly it was for "overhead." $160/hour is a whole lot of overhead. The fun part is the bosses even told us what our multiplier was so we could do cost proposals. They also told us what THEIR multipliers were so we could cost them. Wooee....
I get these every other night. Yay, now I can get an Amber alert from California, or a tornado warning from Kansas. Seriously, if a nationwide alert was required, we would all be just running amuck and panicking. And then die.

That was either the most awesome and/or nerdiest comment ever. Either way, I salute you!

Time for you start taking your meds again. Wow.
I'd like to see you copy my dog.
Are they repelled, or just mildly annoyed.
Also, they should incorporate UV light as a secondary feature so your can be mosquito free while tanning.

Was wondering how long it would take someone to blame Apple.
Be careful what you wish for. If everything was stable, you'd be a part time employee.
We promise! Really!

Didn't you know that all cookies are made by Elves in one single tree? (The fudge is outsourced, though)

So what.
So fucking true. Yet, oddly, with none of the downsides. I running into a limit of things to get pissed at anymore.

I would have thought that 8,700 abacuses would take more power than that.

I've seen better fakes on ghost hunting shows.
from one guy's paper who later refuted his own findings and was repudiated by everyone before that.
But hey, we always have the celebrities....
How many Library of Congress's is that?
and see how many there are....

How about we just use +/- 0 (zero). Pick your point, all nicely metric like.
