We'll I would say that's a good thing, or a good start. I generally stick with BBC or Sky Australia as well as local news (in NZ), but the odd times I've watched CNN I've been blown away by how much news is left out, or how much the stories differ from the international press. Though, I'm sure CNN isn't a front for every news agency in the states, it is peddled as the the flagship.
The roomba itself is a fine idea, but I think in my case, it would have to be accompanied with a larger model that is able to clear away the pop cans, pizza boxes, coffee cups and odd lost household pet -- petrol powered I would expect.
However, the fact that a heavly marketed and professionaly developed operating system can't stand up against a aguably amature, free operating system say a lot in favour of Linux, and little for Apple.
I'll take regular e-mails about penis enlargements and horny Japanese school girls any day over SPEWES.
People can go on and on about irresponsible providers, direct or upstream, but the fact of the matter is, with spews a quarter of e-mail from friends and family doesn't make it to me. I'm not going tell my dad to sod off and get a new provider because some twat at spews has stashed and burned half of the usable ip blocks on the net.
And I get sick of this anti corporate and anti rich people drivel. My health care is paid by the companies I work for, and I've been given generous tips and opportunities by rich folk in this life. I don't buy your gloom and doom terminator 2 movie crap. Everyone I know who is doing well is hardworking and a bit lucky, and they feel lucky because they were endorsed by someone, probably better off than themselves, and this was the inroad to their success. Kissing a little ass and then performing when you get your foot in the door does wonders to one's lifestyle.

That'll never fly in school. Who wasn't getting in shit all the time for drumming on the desk eh?

Last time I was in the states, it looked like a lot of people could use the walk.

How is this useful for Americans?
You wouldn't be interested, it's called NEWS.

Haha. Yeah I'm sure Teachers, family and his 'friend' got into it as well.

Just jiggle the cable.
Haha. Yeah... real insecure about Americans. Take a look around!
I'm Canadain -- happy to be in NZ.
If you are a Canadian wanting to work in America, do you require any form of work permit?
No... but may want to seek therapy.

I'm sure governments around the world will breath a sigh of relief once their networks have been secured by MS Wallet(tm).
Maybe it's just me, but "Before you get too excited" and "gory details" don't really match up with the heading "Turing Test Competition At CalTech".
"And other engines such as WiseNut, Teoma, and FAST now mimic Google's 'popularity placement technology.'"
That's nice. My family mimic normal people, but most people figure it out after not too long.

"Given that many Chinese probably do not even have televisions..."
Did you pull that one out of your ass?
China has roughly 300 million televisions. The US has around 215 million.
Fair enough. Lots of people drive Fords as well.

Sshhh! They're not suppose to know that!
Ya... that would be why the profitable OS X is being left in the dust by linux. And lets not even talk about the server market.

Would agree!... I think.

Works like a charm.
