After years of the tell-all CID service foiling our evil plots, we can once again order pizzas to be delivered to our annoying neighbors, and the pizzerias will be none the wiser!
I suppose this would work for Chinese delivery too.
Oh the terror! Ban Google now!
"Tribes in Suriname, Brazil, and Colombia are combining their traditional knowledge of the rainforest with Western technology"
Wait a minute.... where is South America now? The Far East? Last I checked Sutiname, Brazil, and Colombia are all in the Western Hemisphere, and if technology is divided only by hemisphere, Google maps and other Western technologies represent their technology.
Just because you call them Indians, that doesn't mean that they aren't in the Western Hemisphere.
Now I'll admit, I'm far too lazy to google it either, but I'm pretty sure that the Alto 8000 and the Star were production models. While you were not likely to have used any product from PARC, it wasn't as much of an impossibility as the history books made it out to be.
So yeah, Xerox did have the guts to bring their radical ideas to market, they just weren't very good at it.
