For this to be a killer-app it needs to be on-device translation. High-speed internet connections and high-speed mobile data connections are not common enough outside (and even inside) cities for this to be something you could usefully rely upon.
Microsoft look like they're onto a good thing with HoloLense - it fully jumps into the Augmented Reality space, which is where I think the Killer App of these wearables is really at, not email status updates in the corner of your eye. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Yeah I can see this being used to stimulate other muscles when they bump into softer objects under more interesting simulations real soon. I doubt that'll "turn off" too many VR users.
Asutralia's rural internet is still pathetic, with some areas either unconnected or sporadically connected by pre-dialup speed satellite connections. There is literally no way Australia has any potential to go cashless in 3 years time.

(and for the pendants - it's not wrong, but unless you're in an escher drawing you've got to go back uphill some day)
what does it take to put someone out of business? Isn't there a legal responsibility (in Australia and Canada at least) to shut this business down until they can prove they're no longer being criminally negligent and deceptive?
We're talking about "Autonomous" as in they're told to kill an enemy if found in a certain region, and then can be left to do that without further direction or oversight. What are you talking about?
Also, have you seen the stats on spousal abuse and violent abuse between men and women? It's not the majority of the population but it's a very large percentage. I absolutely do believe it is normalised behaviour, and I don't see why you would have a problem with Microsoft doing their small part to counter the problem as it develops.
Is it so important to you to be able to be rude and obnoxious to your feminine-voiced phone that you'd deny the opportunity in mitigating violent and anti-social behaviour in others? Are you really that selfish? Or do you need your phone as a verbal punching bag against all those women who upset you so much?
I'd say yours is the bugaboo with sexuality. It's the abuse part of sexual abuse that's the issue, and it starts with verbal abuse.
And yeah, sounds like you do have anger problems, and you should find a way to cope with them nonviolently. What if you're, say, on a weeks camping and have no access to an avatar punchbag? You'll be screaming at everyone to "hold me back, I can't be held responsible!"
Obviously this has nothing to do with climate change science - it's an excuse for the government to justify the massive budget cuts they've forced on the CSIRO, an excuse the CSIRO are happily repeating as they know everyone will be outraged.
I'm shocked to see everyone so far who has posted has completely missed the point. This isn't about infringing your imaginary rights to be rude and abusive to inanimate objects.
It's about discouraging abusive behaviour towards a simulacrum female in the hope that it will in turn discourage similar behaviour towards real women. This AI has no fear of being physically harmed, so can put abusive assholes in their place and teach them how to be decent people - unlike the real women in these peoples lives, who out of fear of being hurt or from being psychology "put in their place" by their abusive men may never speak out, reinforcing such appallingly behaviour. This AI has no such fears or ability to be browbeaten.
Slashdot community, you greatly disappoint me.
When you've finished tearing your meat to shreds, why not add it to a chemical bath to leech out the nutrients while turning the remainder into shit?
Smart people can just suck the juice of life up a straw from around the turds, while the morons out there can pretend they're enjoying their 'meals'.

And we introduced white people, hardly a roaring success for any of the indigenous human, plant and animal populations.

Hooray, Apps!

It's funny 'cause it's rape!
Own up, who has been wiping used hamburger wrappers on their testicles? You have no-one to blame but yourselves.
I wish we could come up with a cure for idiots who can't tell the difference between humourous comments and serious ones.
I don't think the FDA holds much sway in the UK where the research is being done.

Yeah but there's a new series of Star Trek coming out next year, he'd be mad to miss it on purpose
Mosquitoes are also excellent pollinators!

Robots also do not feel mercy, and they never question orders - no matter how deranged.
Trees will grow canopy to cover your solar panel with shade though.

You know how the UK PM was in thw press for making sweet love to a dead pig? Well...
Fat people in Australia don't go to the supermarket - they'll deliver for $8
All poisons are made of chemicals, as is your entire damn body. Whining about "chemicals" is just a way for blah blah blah blah blah.
