We already have plenty of tools that vastly augment our intelligence; human level (strong-AI) is most often defined as being capable of sapience (i.e. wisdom as well as intelligence), which almost certainly implies motivation.
I certainly didn't mean to imply that the AI's motivations would be significantly different from other species, ours included. Just the opposite, that they would tend to be the same. History is very clear: when two similar species co-exist they compete for resources till the weaker species is extinct.
Given that the AI would have access to the sum of our knowledge, direct control over most of our infrastructure, and the ability to divide and evolve without physical constraint. It would almost certainly be the stronger species.
Well I doubt they will want to screw Nokia yet, but I seriously doubt they will drop Android and Apple support. The only thing Skype has going for it is that everyone uses it. Their competitors would jump for joy if they were gifted 90% of the mobile market.
Even if they drop Linux then they loose my employer (which is about 90% Windows).
In-fact the people most likely to loose out are the Windows users who will inevitably get some botched Live integration.

If the network is email/web for 100 non-technical office workers then just buy five £100 24-port switches and forget about it.
If you are supporting 100 stock traders, or the storage/rendering for 100 3d/video editors then just hire five £100k pa network administrators and forget about it.
Why? Apart form Symbian's own obvious shortcomings, what is wrong with Android's kernel? I fully accept some of the android Apps (most obviously the first party ones like Gmail and Market) are below par, but the rest of the OS is amazing.
Proper IP tables based wireless tether, all forms of VPN, strong per-app security (not Symbian's all or nothing permissions), flexible filesystems support..
If the budget problems are really the sets. Why not just shoot a R and PG-13 on the same sets? That way they could really see which one made more money too.
The issue for NASDAQ isn't the trivial task of securing their servers, it is establishing and maintaining a chain of trust to the remote clients wanting to authorize trades.
The tag doesn't actually define much, most browser implementations are choosing to concentrating on HTTP streaming of h.264 or WebM, as such are still fairly limited. I think Safari streams MPEG TS files rather well, but given the is still no video support at all in Internet Explorer, the lowest common denominator is a problem.
Actually it is even more stupid. They no longer charge a license fee, but only 'trust' vendors to release working players.

Given the quality and length of support any hardware vendor gives compared to the community this is just spiteful.
Android can run regular Linux applications too. Simply download the armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi Gentoo stage 3, or run debootstrap armel to get the missing libraries. Debain in particularly has nicely packaged versions of most programs ready to go.
Whilst the is no optimized X11 (yet?), running Xvnc works well (given the limits of your screen estate and the lack of touch optimized UIs)
The question about what is under the contract is only part of the issue. If an unsolicited observation saves you money (i.e. you wouldn't have noticed yourself and you were able to take preventative action) it would make sound economic sense to express your gratitude.
If you can use unsigned or self-signed applications that can use permissions (CommDD, MultimediaDD, NetworkControl, DiskAdmin, DRM, AllFiles, or TCB) (i.e. A file browser that can list files in c:\private or z:\sys) you have a hacked phone. Whilst hacking most Nokias is possible it is at least as hard, and warranty voiding as an iPhone or Android.
Dirac was designed for the future. Whilst it can achieve the same bitrate/quality as H.264 it is much more computationally expensive. It is also too different from H.264 to reuse the existing hardware acceleration.
It was designed (by the BBC) for distribution of broadcast streams, where the required hardware is irrelevant, its better performance at high bit rates on super-HD content, optional lossless-compression, and ability to down-sample without re-compressing are all more important.
In a decade Moore's Law may make it the obvious choice for all content. By acting as prior-art for most wavelet encoders it may be very important indeed.
S60 3ed (probably the peek of their smartphones, N95 etc.) had mandatory code signing, and Unlike Android, self-signed apps can never access a significant number of useful permissions (and signing for distribution was vastly more expensive as apps had to be vetted). I expect that later versions keep this feature but I had switched by then.
However running your own apps, even native apps, dose not equate to root accesses.
Actually the window manager itself might make sense written in python, so long as you use good lower level libraries like EFL. Which incidentally have good pythonic bindings for a lot of stuff, and you can use the c API for the rest.
The closest to this may be the Paroli UI form OpenMoko offering a feature-phone style UI and applications via Python and EFL (admittedly the project seems to be dead now)
Including extra data in their calculations dose not depend on that data being better then their results. If search engines could only provide results which where the mean relevance of the data they were indexing they wouldn't be very useful.
If you have changed your minimum font size or zoomed with "Text Only" (i.e. got anything approaching legible text on a high-resolution display without making all the images go fuzzy), the left margin overlaps the body text and you can't read anything.
This effects all major browsers except Chrome and has serious accessibility implications.
When was anything designed-from-scratch, and why would that be a good thing? Windows 8 certainly won't be, Android is also Linux based, iOS is based on OS:X (hence NeXTSTEP, Mach 3, FreeBSD etc.).
"The plus for Intel is that as they unify their operating systems, we now have the ability for the first time... to have a designed-from-scratch, touch-enabled operating system for tablets that runs on Intel that we don't have today," the Intel CEO said.
It is also a pity no one at Intel has head of http://meego.com/ (sarcasm intended).
Despite the summary this doesn't sound very Machiavellian. One could almost imagine Microsoft liking the thought of having their core product used on the next billion devices without having to make any investment themselves.

Humans callously wipe out all species which are not of obvious benefit to them. Human-like artificial intelligence is a doomsday scenario.
But they are only counting new books sold by Amazon, not the larger number of second hand books sold via Amazon.

The Wine D3D implementation only works well on the nVidia binaries too (and has for long enough to prove this isn't going to be a short term issue).
