The article linked http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bliq-bush.ht m claims Lovenstein Institute research (which is not to say that said research or the reference isn't biased) estimates Jr's IQ to be 91. For comparison O'Reagan's IQ was estimated to be 105 and FDR was 147.

Mars Rover begin to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14am Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug...
Inability to come up with something meaningful to write ineviably always leads to "Best... of all time" or "Worst... of all time" babbled passed off as articles. Editors (of "professional" publications, no less) should've seen this kind of busy-work garbage from a mile away instead of running'em...
HDTV will be locked down so hard that building your own DVR will be difficult at best. Thanks to DMCA, attempt to bypass any of the DRM could potentially land your ass in jail. In summary, once analog TV comes to an end, we're all pretty screwed.
Apple got pissed that people are running OSX on non-Apple hardware, so it "took its ball and went home." Apparently Apple still doesn't realise it's a software company.
If the rest of the world didn't like SONY's game, SONY would just take their ball and go home.
This really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone; Sony exhabited the exact same behavior all the way back to Beta days. When it finally conceded defeat and released VHS decks, it still outpriced them comparing to other competitors.
I've often thought that lawyers are at the top of human food chain (at least in the US,) since no one is immune to lawsuits. To even defend oneself against such, one needs a lawyer. Regardless of merit or outcome, lawyers win, always.
Despite what misgiving people may have about tivo, it's be around for some time and is generally considered "stable." Cable companies that has been producing their own DVR probably discovered that it will cost them less to license software from tivo than hiring a crew to develope and maintain their own.
Zeta Gundam TV show (aired in Japan from 1985-1986) has depicted this in the 80's. People are shown hopping into a "empty car" parked on the road side and are ready to go after swipping their ID card.
The spammer is in Russia. Let's hire the mafia nd take him out. Blue security has 500,000 members. If we all put in $1.00 each, we should manage to hire someone to take the spammer out. He won't be a problem after that, and he won't send any more spam.
And you know with certainty that the (insert least favorite ethnicity) Mafia isn't involved in some ways with the "local" spam racket?
Turn him loose on the streets. Rumor will be abuzz that he cut a deal with the Feds, and someone is bound to put a contract on his head, compelling him to turn state evidence.
Think harder. It'll be another law in the book that can be used to harass people when "deemed necessary." Keep in mind that prosecutors loves to say things like "suspect is believed to be in violation of (insert a number) of federal/state statues."

Well, that turns out to be an e-mail joke that has been in circulation for the past five years. Do I feel stupid now (DUH.)

Holodeck. That said, I agree (with Scott Adam) that it will probably be the last invention to be ever invented...

"Don't spend more than what you bring in. Try to put something away for the rainy days."
I would say no, since most geeks are single with little hope of polluting the gene pool.
In Soviet Russia, the vulerable reports you... oh wait.
Ten bucks on Mr. Klein soon to be sued by AT&T, and pursued by district attorney for thieft of AT&T company property (namely the said documents.)

Does it record the origin of the offending articles and report them to the government, or merely deletes othe offending articles?
Finding one out a million doesn't make the sort of sweeping generalization true.
Booth babes. This IS slash-dot crowd after all.

No matter which company wins this round, the lawyers win, ALWAYS. I say we take'em out of the equation.
