What the value of everyone knowing what you buy actually is. If the supermarket and the airline and everyone else knows I own a dog and drive an old Camry I'm not sure what anyone thinks the spam/value-add of all of that is. As it is, most people already throw away most junk mail and junk email unopened. And since the airlines themselves never actually give discounts, just complex fee-add schemes, it's not as if they're going to successfully market to people based on that. It's not as if they're going to take an 'extra' trip to Florida this year because your quadruple platinum diamond intergalactic admiral club membership is going to waive that $25 checked bag fee. I just don't see it. I think the airlines were sold a bill of goods by marketing consultants and now they're going to create complex expensive systems that, as always, don't do anything to keep them out of bankruptcy like they do every 3 or 4 years.
Local government is as corrupt and greedy as it gets. Anything everything is 'reason' to tax and fine as much as they can get away with. Driverless car? Fine the owner, like a red light camera. Also, remember to pass a special driverless car fee and pressure the state government to mandate a driverless car insurance surcharge surcharge kicking back a substantial portion to the city for 'management'. Assess a brand new driverless car inspection regime on top of the old one. Or better yes classify it as a bus.
Social "sciences" while interesting avocations don't float your economy. And as the article mentions we're not interested in that so we are now free to churn out all the philosophers we need to drive cabs.
America has become an anti intellectual society. Particularly when talking about STEM. All the pundits like to scream how we need to hire eleventy zillion teachers and then turn around and pout and scream that they're not all social workers focused on bullying, eating disorders and special needs. And if anyone so much as suggests that all the MFA's in Italian poetry pay more in tuition to offset the cost of the courses in engineering we're told we're all redneck knuckledragging philistines.
Someday, soon, a bunch of Federal grant wielding puppeteers will put on a show in Esperato about how we used to have fire but the inventor died.
EVERYTHING related to PC's is still, after 30 years, a clumsy bolt-on. Hell, networking and printing still have to be added, tweaked and configured and VPN is still a mess. As long as we tolerate companies like MS shoveling Windows 8 at us while the guts under the covers are garbage, this is what we'll get. I mean with a multicore processor there's no way to make one of those cores a security specific ASIC that does all the heavy lifting for security across the board in hardware. But we'll never get that because it's more important to have live tiles and 12 different apps that all do photo filters the same way. Hoo ray.
And so it would be fairly difficult if not impossible to outlaw or legally restrict 'hands'. Maybe semiautomatic and high capacity hands but we're still going to need hands.
In either case IBM will cease to be a US company by then. As part of their 2015 roadmap they want to earn $15 eps or more. The will require them to abandon nearly all US employment.
They improved the product line by exactly zero. Other than the occasional theoretical speed bump borne of the next standard they never added a single feature or usability or new or interesting product to market. And they never fixed a single quirk or bug of any of the products new or old. My old WRT110 is as usable today albeit slightly slower, than anything they've brought out in since. And it still fails occasionally with ONE laptop running Win7-64 (but not any of my others) because it runs Access Connections. So if Cisco wants to junk it, so what?

And THAT's it.
ZOMG it's the apotheosis of the last 400 years of technology.

Movie prices are getting silly.
No of course it is. Netflix though has a pretty terrible record. When it's down it's for a day.
Amazon AWS hosts Netflix and it was done for hours yesterday. Based on that I'd say +1 Google in the systems reliability front.

The British society of anthropologists declared in 2010 that anthropology is no longer a science.
The asteroid rights group will pop up screaming illegal occupation and violation of their sacred homeland.

Eventually run out of people to get killed or crippled by polio and the rest of us can get on with living in the 21st century.
Please continue w.o. me, thanks.
I've never heard of anyone being killed with a game

Many of the men you list strangled their victims.
In 5th or 6th place, just ahead of 'all other'.
Really? Julius Caesar played violent video games? Ghenghis Khan? Al Capone?

Now when companies can't compete and can't sue one another to prosperity they demand the government step in and exercise fascism.
Awesome. I hope all the executives of this company die in a fire.
Is that Twitter is horseshit. Worthless noisy horseshit and the people who do it should be punched in the face until they are more or less retarded.
That's why each and every one of them should be killed. Exterminate the lot of them, every last one.
Tim Cook needs to sue them for that one.
