The entire tech industry will surge ahead into true innovation when apple is finally gone.
Actually they will have no one to copy from Apple may not have been first with many products but the way they are copied proves they get the user, better than others, and get the basics right. Also Apple tends not to release a product in a rush look up Knowledge Navigator to see how long the iphone idea has been in the works. Racking up feature count doesn't mean much if its difficult to use. And for most users the quality of phone cameras etc. is good enough
This is prudent considering that for instance Australia has had several large outages including one that took out the Nataional Austalia Bank EFTPOS system leaving many business unable to trade and people unable to purchase in fact we have a page to help with wether a company is up or not aussieoutages.com and not just blocked with the government site blocks.
An earlier article talked about slowing hurricanes the first thing that came to mind was the slowing rotation while not much it can be quite a change for the climate. The bigger the fluctuation of temp between night and day due to heating for a fraction longer and cooling a fraction longer and newtons law of cooling seems to be an exponential relation, this should have a measurable effect on climate after just a century
If I hadn't had free maintenance for 6 years thanks to a kick-ass salesman who threw in a Mopar package on the deal,
That is why your paying $249 to change a bulb and you probably paid for the free maintenance upfront plus I bet they find something to charge you for when you come in for that "Free Maintenance"
Some other company will and maybe they won't be as moral as the google employees or maybe they will be more so however other countries/organisations are certainly doing this so who would you prefer to own that space.
4 Extend copyright so nobody else can make new stuff and everyone is stuck buying your old crap thats why they think buying EMI will work for them the back catalog

There already is an example of this whether or not it really was done by a $deity of your choice or not. the attempt is the same a set of rules (commandments etc) or a set of parables and stories (Bible, Koran etc.) some intelligences will follow and enhance these (Laws) others will pervert and interpret and exploit the loopholes in them for their own devices.

Your mother probably got to speak to the owner this still happens in small business but anything larger HR and government regulation precludes this type of hiring
They said it in the summary they used there best employees to make the template for what they want in an employee lets guess what the best employees were.
And today, One of my supervisors sent a worker home likely not to return after starting a disgraceful shouting fit that had nothing to do with work (more to do with conspiracy theories go figure) Last week was a no show on 3 days (didn't wake up to go to work) and his parting words he was sent home due to favouritism and racism he is 1/8 aboriginal and quite honestly no-one knew until he told us. Now I know full blood aborigines that do better, however truth they are rarer.
2 weeks ago I let go a 19 year old white male also didn't show and when he did his facebooking,snapchatting, instagramming phone would be constantly going and this is something that more and more white kids are failing at
So no we don't have racist views we expect a certain level of work, decorum, and respect on the job leave your crap at home, The AI I assume is probably working out the same and can pick this nuances from there answers to be honest I'm starting to pick this up better as well but as the turnover rate increases the most common complaint I hear from employers is the quantity of applicants you go through now to find a good one
Maybe if they produced more music I would want to listen to for more than a few times. the same goes for movies some older movies I can watch over and over, most newer movies/music once can be too often and yes my kids feel the same
That is the problem somewhere you will need something be it your email address or IP there will be some service that you will need and that will need to be paid for.
And therein lies the problem payment if you want it for free then they will give you ads which just plain suck and make the internet suck as to sell ads they will give you the lowest common denominator and those that charge for service have yet to catch on that you need to supply quality
One of the problems is theft ever noticed how high value items like razor blades are in big packages to big to stuff in normal pockets, well until pockets got bigger
When apple chooses a tech to include, it needs to make sure that it will be available in the quantities they will sell this usually means bleeding edge tech which is still going through manufacturing teething problems are put on the wait list until they can guarantee 100 million units thats why the iphone is behind on some features but the overall experience for most is excellent and consistent.
IT Crowd, Big Bang Theory, three I could continue to watch. HCF stopped after a few episodes probably binge watch when I get sick for a few days and catch up on everything else
There are a few hard drive and usb's in landfill I remember one article mentions 7500 bitcoins in 2013 then worth 4million pound if you want to look for buried treasure and there a few more you google
The only reason for UBI is to pay useless people enough money that they can afford enough drugs to get so stoned that the don't bother going out to commit crimes, because that's cheaper than a bigger police force.
A bullet is cheaper still and further encourages remaining people to be more useful
A monetary system has to be easier and more useful than bartering. i.e. I have something you want and you have something I want we can exchange based on what we perceive as value to each of us. Promissory Notes or Cash became useful as it used to backed by gold and became a defacto standard as it was much lighter than gold to carry and if I didn't have what you wanted it would take its place. Instant transfer of cash between bank accounts is a natural evolution and though not backed by gold is backed by the country issuing as long as the country is financially sound the currency has value. Now Bitcoin is not backed by anything other than perceived value by speculators. The question is how long before the top tier speculators decide to cash in ?

Lets see be an officer and order someone to be shot at or be a grunt and be ordered to be shot at. I'd say you dumb if you chose the latter

After all how are you going to remove the Chinese Govs spyware and install the USA's Gov's spyware or the French Europeans Freedom-ware

They have all been claimed or will be claimed if you make it viable try an asteroid plenty up there for the taking

No, all it says is that a copy of a brain is not the original brain.
That leads to Altered Carbon where the brain is copied to new maybe improved bodies
Maybe if they produced more music I would want to listen to for more than a few times. the same goes for movies some older movies I can watch over and over, most newer movies/music once can be too often and yes my kids feel the same
And more correct on the order and I don't have to repeat myself
you don't need an ISP.
That is the problem somewhere you will need something be it your email address or IP there will be some service that you will need and that will need to be paid for.
And therein lies the problem payment if you want it for free then they will give you ads which just plain suck and make the internet suck as to sell ads they will give you the lowest common denominator and those that charge for service have yet to catch on that you need to supply quality

Was he bribed or threatened?
No he just realised how many facebook shares he still had

Even easier mandate they must give shares to there users each month as payment for the information
Everyone is going to die at some point, none of this matters.
Sounds like someone hasn't procreated yet
