Best thing ever!!! I spent more time standing when I had one than sitting and generally felt better at the end of the day compared to sitting all day. If you get one that's adjustable get a manual (you lift) adjust as my experience with the electronic ones are they are problem prone (one side lifts the other not so much). A good Stand Up Desk is expensive, in fact the reason I don't have one at home is I can't afford a proper stand up desk, and won't get suckered into "Office Max" quality furniture. Get one if you can.
"The experiment is the centerpiece of Searle's Chinese room argument which holds that a program cannot give a computer a "mind", "understanding" or "consciousness",[a] regardless of how intelligently it may make it behave. The argument is directed against the philosophical positions of functionalism and computationalism,[2] which hold that the mind may be viewed as an information processing system operating on formal symbols. Although it was originally presented in reaction to the statements of artificial intelligence researchers, it is not an argument against the goals of AI research, because it does not limit the amount of intelligence a machine can display.[3] The argument applies only to digital computers and does not apply to machines in general.[4]"
OK prove me wrong and show us all an example of true AI.
Here is the definition of intelligence I am working from: "Intelligence has been defined in many different ways including, but not limited to, abstract thought, understanding, self-awareness, communication, reasoning, learning, having emotional knowledge, retaining, planning, and problem solving."
Show me a machine that does all that, and as for insight, you're limited as to what you can label a comment with.
Just so you're aware I don't have an issue with their work, just tired of the incessant anthropomorphism of machines and animals, as though acting like a human is some lofty goal worth attaining.
I'm referring to the Buddhist concept of "no self", however you would greatly amuse me if you gave a lengthy explanation on how your streams of thought are "you" and there is an "I".

Boss via robot: Bob let me talk to you over here in my charging cubical
Bob: K...
Boss via robot: Bob I'm going to have to let you go, and if you come back and shoot up the place... you will be billed for the robot repair.
Bob: ~
They need to show an iron fist on this one, can't have people embarrassing the military and government.
Yes because crushing the tablet to get all of it in one hit is so hard to do.
Interesting stuff, but I'm always left with the same question when I see robots advanced and possibly some form of AI.
"What are we going to do with all these humans?"

Sounds like Seattle's 911 system is quite fragile.
Go ahead RIAA that will drive even more to piracy.
""Facebook recently invited a handful of employers into its headquarters "
Which employers? Why? Is facebook going to start providing companies with the data of job applicants?
Have all the sexual adventures you want, I am, I'm just not getting them knocked up.
If we want mutants with super powers all the old men need to get busy with young women, I am totally for this.
Seriously though, I think the operative phrase in the article is "could be"
Some humans do, most do not, hence Bush as president for 8 years,
Why bother? Buddha got it right.
you are trying to destroy the meaning of words. Don't do that: it's bad for everyone.
Well not bad for politicians =)

Here's a primer to get you going.

"human-like reasoning"
That was my belly laugh for the day...
Couple of things...
First: You're an idiot go back and read what I said.
Second: "neutral networks" Did you mean neural networks?
Third: Again, because you didn't get it the first time, there is no true Artificial Intelligence.
That's correct the thing the people call "I" doesn't exist.
It isn't "self awareness" there is no true AI.
