Imagine these kind of robots in the home of of 2 or more kids. Roomba doing vacuuming, this robot doing laundry and folding.

Parents would be spending quality time with her kids, helping them with their homework or helping with their practice - sports or music, instead of getting frustrated looking pile of laundry and kids don't have nothing to wear.

Kids now have more questions due to quality engagement. So they would visit library or if they are into sports, parents spend more time with them.

Automation has always been there. We just pick up things we didn't get a chance to pick up. We travelled on cars when horses were no more needed. We built bigger and better things, when we don't have to make our own hammer. Also, we created more problems from these and needed more innovation to fix them.

We always worked around 40 hrs a week since time immemorial. So, we will continue to work 40hrs.

I agree that single service or method should not be entire backup strategy. I backup pictures and important files to two seperate external discs, besides desktop's storage.

Sorry to hear, but sometimes it happens. Look at the positive side. you will have more precious moments to look forward to and those lost pictures, you will have to go old fashioned way of recollecting. Do you remember the day...kind.

Justin, I did not see you mention wife and kids activities anywhere in the article. 1. Does your wife work? 2. Who takes kids to their activities? including playing the basement, reading stories to them, taking them to McDonalds 3. How much family time do you spend per day? 4. How does your typical day and weekend look like ?

Curious.

I use Netvibes all the time.. i used Google Reader as well, but would definitely recommend Netvibes.. as its reader give good bird eye view of all the feeds. Once you get used to this type, you will never go back to anything else.

I currently use netvibes too. to customize rss feeds.. i use Yahoo Pipes. You can provide bunch of feeds to pipes, then add custom filters, sorts, terms and generate a custom RSS address. Add this address to netvibes.

and with this process, you will hardly ever visit any of the homepages except netvibes.

Nice project though.

wait... now developers would have to remember numbers. dumb idea..

The reason we have characters for numbers, in cases where applicable is, its easier to remember/represent with characters. Like URL instead of IP. code will figure out, how to convert string to numbers.

what is the point of having format in numbers? In your brain, you are thinking "I need two/three character month", so I will put 'MM'/'MMM', instead of 'Jan'. In Go's case, I have to remember to use Jan or 01.

Nice try though.

Your local Credit Union Bank, will offer free financial advise, if you have an account with them. Our credit union advisor, was really patient in answering pretty much all our questions..

well.. he will try to sell some of the bank services, but finally he was able to convice us to roll over IRA to our bank's IRA.
