Well...apprently this guy was in no condition to handle the succes of his invention, if it was even really his. Just like in the natural world, the survial of the fittest applies. If enough people find you offensive and a hinderence, you will be left behind and all anyone can say is "too bad so sad!"
Well, didn't GM ship half a million cars with faulty tires, that was a bad problem. Things can go unnoticed, even if it is severe. As for this laptop problem, as long as it works, thats fine with me, I just don't want to lose information after a freeze.
So your saying if I were drunk and had crossed vision, I could easily solve the puzzles faster than any sober man. Maybe thats how he finished these puzzles in 2 1/2 hours, the answeres just jumped out.
I have to agree, if current trends continue international trade will only increase and with that outsourcing will go along with it, but outsourcing won't be a huge problem. Currently it only effects a small portion of Americas economy. Generally, outsourcing will do more good than bad on a global standpoint. The interview a more neutral stance on outsourcing, but they do voice their concern to it as an issue.
It is quite possible that humanity will have the technology and resources to create a robot team that can defeat a team of humans by 2050, but you have to ask yourselve, would humanity be motivated to do such a thing. Sure soccer is the most popular sport in the world but most people would agree, brainpower could be put to much better tasks. Such an event has already happened, the space race. Once the United States reached the moon and after the Soviet Union collapsed, most people forgot about the space race. Only if China becomes a real threat to the USA and there is another race to Mars or something, or a major shift to the privitization of space occures, advances in space slow down since humanity needs little use of it. Now, if a prize was alloted for the first robot team to win, then it is more likely, but you never know what bored scientist and engineers cn do in their freetime.
Many people have argued that patents and copyrights have actually hindered the advancement of technology, social issues, and culture over this past decade since the increase of punishment for violating these rights. A common example is Mickey Mouse; Disney has had him copyrighted and patented up the wazoo, and many artist complain that Disney sues over anything even resembling a mouse. Now if Washington Mutual patents a bank design this could slow the advancement of bank design forever!
While computer emulators may satisfy most people, the renewed interest in retro gaming has sparked a new market since many people prefer to play their games on an arcade cabinet just like the old days at the arcades. The Arcade Emulator PC Game Cabinet is and example of this opening market.
