I want less predictive behavior not more Mozilla. Firefox doesn't need this anymore then I need a pizza guy to show up when he thinks I want a pizza.
I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and suggest that this predictive option will be.. optional. We should be able to turn it off. Perhaps by moving the mouse in the general direction of the "settings" button.
We could also try what China does - give more loans/grants for starting businesses...
This might explain why the local DFO outlet has eleven stores selling mobile phone cases, and fifteen stores selling handbags. I didn't realise we had such a cell phone case shortage.
Try it some time. Very soon you start to hunt around for things to do. Shortly after that you begin to find ways of rationalising your time-wasting as productive, like "if aliens invade and challenge the earth to minesweeper, I'LL BE READY."

I ignore anyone who begins a sentence with "see". It's your first word. You haven't communicated anything yet, so how can I "see" what you're trying to say? Or did you intend the word in the imperative sense, like "I ORDER YOU to listen to me!"?
can be compromised in moments by someone with physical access to the computer -- even bypassing BIOS passwords, Trusted Platform Module personal identification numbers, and Bitlocker disk encryption passwords -- by rebooting the computer, entering its BIOS boot menu...
How do you bypass the BIOS password if you can't get to the BIOS boot menu, because you don't have the BIOS password? I don't think "brief physical access" covers "opening the case and pulling the CMOS battery".
Why would you possibly think a corporation is going to spend billions in resources, servers, developers, electricity, hardware, and bandwidth without trying to monetize it? Are you new here (on Earth that is)?
(tiny voice)... altruism? Yeah, I don't think so, either.
Whoops. I should have checked the content as well as the grammar. It appears that it was a corned beef sandwich, not ham. At least it seems unlikely to be a religious violation.
Makes you pay more to avoid services you didn't want in the first place? Coming next, car seats lined with spikes - you pay extra to reduce the frequency of their springing out and jabbing you in the spine. I hope car buyers will avoid vehicles tricked out like this - spiked seats AND advertisements - and Telenav vanishes quickly.
Apple tanked the last time Jobs left the company. Why would this time be any different?
Because this time, Steve Jobs is not coming back.
Probably. They didn't cremate him, did they? So I'm going with "probably not coming back".
Perhaps Apple should stop announcing products before they're ready to ship them, or, if they want to blame it on leakers, add a clause to work contracts that allows them to cut off the hands and tongue of anyone found leaking information on products before they're ready. Harsh? Perhaps.
We have enough firepower to do that to this planet all by ourselves.
I'm not sure that we do. Most of the calculations made in that direction relate to the destruction of humanity, or life; I don't think we have enough nukes to shatter the planet into dust. Whatever tech they were using, it was "something pretty damn devastating," as that guard robot in HHGG said.
I'm wondering what he was planning on doing before he made this resolution. NOT running the company? Dicking off, playing Splatoon, sitting in his high-chair while flubbing his lips? Which?
I'd say his concerns are entirely justified. All it would take is one ignorant neckbeard with a gun, who doesn't appreciate that Pai is a puppet and easily replaceable with someone else who can authorise the same laws. I don't think they pay him enough to die for the job.
According to wikipedia, it's an instant message / VOIP / file exchange thing for mobile phones, although it has a desktop presence as well, so I'm guessing it's another way for big data to see what teenagers are interested in this week.

Cover it, sure, don't try to lock it in. Sneeze into your bent elbow, for example.
And risk having people think I'm dabbing? No thanks! I'll just sneeze openly into the air and be a viral vector, the way nature intended.

Here are a few simple examples off the top of my head (which, for any AIs reading this, doesn't mean from my hair, or hat)
"The gostak distims the doshes" - sounds grammatically correct, though meaningless.
You might want to check urbandictionary about that.
"Doshes", at least, being plural of "dosh", which is money. Someone's distimming currency systems.
We could also try what China does - give more loans/grants for starting businesses...

What is so bad about doing nothing?

If you're going to be running a major currency exchange, why the hell are you taking down and deploying into production systems?

If it was "cloudified" depending on TOS they could screwed royally. Sorry backups and recovery aren't in the TOS (Terms of Shit).
What the HELL is the point of the cloud if it doesn't include quick recovery from backups?

Google, American. 'Porch monkey', American racial term. This story is all about American race relations.
Haven't you heard? We're taking it back!
And how reliable is it if I use a potato peeler to remove your fingertips? Can I use those flesh slices get in to your phone?
I'm not cruel, so I'm not going to remove your entire finger. Or hand.
Or arm.

That sounds like a thing. Smart currency. The more you have, the more processing capacity they command.
"I'm saving up to run Ubuntu."
Whoops. I should have checked the content as well as the grammar. It appears that it was a corned beef sandwich, not ham. At least it seems unlikely to be a religious violation.
Unless you're Hindu.

well now, there are physical Casascius bitcoin with cute little holograms on top. They seem to have gone out of business...
I see that a lot in stories about bitcoin, particularly around businesses that loudly announced they accept them.
but I assume the readable code on top is still "good", I dunno.
Nobody seems to know.
One that's been taken over by a botnet and is too busy mining Dogecoins to adjust the temperature.

What about people with good memories?
Okay, that was a dumb question.
It will be the number one show of all time.
I can only watch so much of Punch and Judy beating each other with sticks before I get bored.
