We are ready to accept any suggestion of godlike entities, divine intervention, fate, luck, or anything related with intelligent design. But surely the next step in our evolution will be able to get rid of that concepts.
That is not even shadow of what Nokia did with the N900 and pushing the development of Meego (ok, pre-Elop era, at least). But they will get extra points if they publish drivers or specs to do them for fully installing other linux, not just android, on their phones.
Wasnt that available in the N900 like a full year ago? And skype too. Too bad the front camera of it is not the greatest, but still, for a year and half device should not be so bad.
Could be interesting if eventually you could build spaceships taking materials from i.e asteroids. With a bit of care one could be turned into another (far smaller) moon and use it as source for raw materials, if of the right kind. Not sure if the fuel itself could be acquired in a similar way eventually.
Will be slaves of an expanding culture like us or simply will try to enjoy their lives while it lasts? Intelligence don't imply culture, civilization don't imply changing their planet or solar system in a way visible from here.
I suppose that the question of if will ever be able to be surpassed the speed of light could matter here. If don't, will matter very little if we find something weird far away from here. And if the speed of light is not the limit, and they could figure how to surpass it in practice, probably will try to make hard to spot them, always could be around a bigger fish.
We could try instead to figure how to communicate or understand intelligences (whales, dolphins, others) and civilizations (ants? bees?) that are right here to see what we could expect out there and our chances to detect them in our current stage.
In this time loop iteration the first skynet models bluescreened, and the project got cancelled. Was a good idea to send John Connor's son to an earlier past to replace some W. Gates guy and ensure a future for humanity.
Money is detaching its meaning with value, specially when you can make billons out of thin air, is another bubble, but one that goes to the core of the system. Changing currency while keeping enabling that is just a placebo.
Just wait till the "think of the children" meme goes to porn domains and they takes out your.com or.whatever domain if it is meant for porn, forcing you to only use.xxx. If you plan to start the race to get the good domains in that moment you already lost.
Fengoffice is an open source web environment that is could be good for some ways of collaboration, specially in sparse teams. You can install it in your own server or use it as an online service in the company website.
Considering how flexible is the brain (people recovering functionality after damage in zones associated with something), probably is a something great that then managed to identify physical places that are the same for everyone (ok, at least for every man).
They could test it in the N900, everyone does that. Extra points if they manage to run it in maemo. Also they will show how tied are with Nokia that way.
and maybe could not be one of the good ones. You "learn" empathy hearing stories, reading books and watching movies. And culture is taking good care of the 1st 2 and hollywood of the 3rd one. With the actual teaching from those sources, maybe is better to not have that meme.
The Libya investment costed so far at least 186 millons, but having a friendly government there willing to share their oil with US corporations will return that investment several times in the next years.
Also investing in something like that, after all the money they invested in discrediting Wikileaks and anything they published, looks like a waste.
Used to think that below the comparatively thin earth crust, what goes below is somewhat homogeneous in each layer. But that gravity pull on north america is similar to the one in the tibet and the one in the bottom of the atlantic ocean (in average), while north of europe and north of australia, even undersea, are higher than in the top of the andes, and if well could mean heavy metal deposits up in the crust, maybe it means that there are zones with different composition in the mantle or below..
And if that zone is dynamic, could be interesting to see if/how changes that density map in a few years.
Not arguing about alternate operating systems advantages, but public opinion about how trustable are computers (oh, they can run something that is not windows? maybe they are even worse as everyone isnt running them). They have in their desktop the proof that computers crash (pun intended), and a lot. And that somehow, evil people can use your computer to do evil things like sending spam. Uh, and one of the top millonaires of the world that said every year since last century that that kind of things won't happen again, that this time they fixed it.
Evil robots in movies is one thing in a world of fiction. Windows misbehaving, bluescreening and doing strange things, in the other hand, is something usual in this world. And the plenty of malware for it doesnt help exactly. Adding to that scenario the capability of harming people in big scale as isolated drunks do from time to time is not good.
If well could be risky to use that in normal environments (like with voice commands, the computer have no way to tell that what you did or said was for it or for someone else in reach), have some potential for not so normal environments or uses. And that it is flexible enough to emulate gmail joke in little time mean that it could be ready for special uses.

Your mind will be turned into mush in just a month. Hunting backups in Fukushima suddently looks like a healthier alternative.

I the wonder how password they could do is this in plain swordfish sight
None of those authors saw it coming

At least it works on tv

I thought that the main use for tablets would be programming, blogging and writting books.

The only way to avoid being assimilated by the Borg is to become Borg ourselves.
After spending miilons in "defense", how much willing you will be in trying that it bercomes obsolete?
