  1. And they actually only mean liquid assets, eg, "cash flow."

    You should store your latinum in some kind of container. Maybe gold bars? They're not worth anything but they do look neat and shiny.

  2. New York City police will deploy a camera-equipped drone above Times Square.

    Only one drone? There's probably going to be more people in Times Square than the population of my small town. One drone will not be enough. How about a dozen ED-209?

    Gatebox is the first step toward holographic assistants/companions.

    I just wish Amazon, Apple, Google and Microsoft realized it. A voice alone is not good enough.

    I also hope they'll allow people to customize the avatar of their assistant (both voice, personality and visual appearance) and even work with companies to sell custom avatars (ex: Steam/Valve could sell a GLaDOS avatar, including both the voice and sarcastic personality of the in-game NPC).

  6. Sure I can!

  7. More proof that dihydrogen monoxide is a dangerous substance!

    I guess women either shouldn't use Twitter or limit their sessions to 29 seconds to avoid being abused.

    AC is definitely wrong about heating time. I can fill mine with 50 degree F water, start it up, and have it at 104 degrees F in about 6 hours.

    ... and have 50kg of pasta ready about 2 hours after that?

  16. You also need a really good internet connection with unlimited data because it uses up a LOT of bandwidth.

    So I guess they'll never bother to offer this in Canada.

    I want to buy AMD but Apple only uses Intel for their Macs!

    At least I know I'll be able to dump Intel in a few years when Apple switches to their own laptop/desktop-grade ARM processors.

    You can announce better communication and publish roadmaps, that doesn't mean you'll be able to stick to them. The past is proof enough.

    Take Apple for example. There's been no official announcement (and never will be, right until the launch of the computers) but we all know Apple is working on breaking away from Intel CPUs.

    Take Microsoft as another example. They're already working on pushing the transition to ARM CPUs, they have Windows running on it and already selling hardware that doesn't use Intel CPUs.

    If there's one thing you can be sure of it's that Intel's days are numbered*.

    * I mean, Intel uses calendars just like the rest of us, right?
