Let me elaborate;

I have released a ton of digital pictures under Creative Commons, for damn good reason. However, this solitary picture was not released under CC. Google just helped themselves to it.

I know you Google guys are here, I've read your posts, I have nothing against you. You are walking over the line here, and i'm telling you now before a legal team does.

I hope you listen.

This documentary is great, I thought I knew the Tetris story, but this filled in every blank.

You can see the unregulated AI in the cryptocurrency markets.

I wonder what the profits have been so far. People have invested in faster internet trunks for trading ages ago, just for a few ms quicker trades.

I liked the "tracking the dust in your phone" part. Hehe

An interesting article for sure. I sure wouldn't have predicted what happened to digg.com.

Also with automatic videos playing on so many sites, mixed with bandwidth limitations set by telcos, some users might opt out of websites that do that to save on bandwidth.

Will Intel release it as a patch/firmware for those of us who have hardware by OEMs that aren't likely to offer anything?

Prime is just a sunk cost. You think, "Hey, I have prime!" and order from Amazon. "I was going to anyway" you think.

You stop price checking. Amazon is far from the cheapest place to order things now. Depending on the item of course.

Next time price check an item before just grabbing it on Amazon, I did. Saved over 40% by doing so.

I think stupid fits the definition of insider trading.

Ages ago when I'd see something like this, I'd grab their affiliate code from the URL, then email the advertiser the site and offending affiliate code to them as an FYI.

No idea if anyone ever bothered to look, I just moved on.

Shouldn't this be way more efficient for computing?

"In other words, we would need to precisely track the state of the active energy that is involved in carrying out computational operations within the machine, and design the machine in such a way that the majority of this energy is recovered in an organized form that can be reused for subsequent operations, rather than being permitted to dissipate into the form of heat."

IBM lets you poke around one of their quantum machines here for free:

They also include a brief tutorial on how to program for it too.

A rolling fleet could be amazing.

If say a typical car/insurance payment was ~$500 a month, and an on-demand auto car service was $499 a month or less, it could work.

You never have to park. You can work/browse/call on the ride. Get dropped off right in front of wherever you're going. Could work out really awesome.

what a strange world where you can bankrupt your business, yet receive millions of bonus dollars anyway.

If there's fiber optic internet with no caps, i'm sold.

Weren't mesh wireless networks made to help this issue?

Also 802.11aX is out soon, it will use 2.4/5ghz just with a bit more bandwidth on both, so you may want to just wait for that instead. (edit: looks to be maybe +25% or so more)

Can't say I miss Geocities inundating the search engines.

Still though, it was pretty fun when there were more than 5 or so websites to go to, like a lot of people tend to only do these days.

I've been active online since 1994. In my opinion, the start of the cellphone era (iPhone and up) was when the internet started it's way downhill.

All sorts of people who weren't online suddenly were there, and businesses took a lot more interest in the lest tech savvy types who've started to populate the internet.

At the same time, these same mobile users saw they could be anonymous and had no learned netiquette unlike so many others before them.

So because of this new-user saturation, the internet became no longer niche and now mainstream, to the detriment of everyone else online.

Yes yes, Eternal September and all that, but were they wrong about the similar assessment back then?

I wouldn't think so with fingerprinting, intel ME and individual processor IDs and such.

I was just giving an extreme example for true anonymity now, something we just sort of had on the internet in the 90's.

I guess the future is a ten-pack of cheap netbooks, a linux live CD, and free public wi-fi.

Access the internet, then smash the entire thing and throw it away and repeat.

Those 10gb Seagates have to be pretty new still. I'm curious about them over time. It would be nice if that's one like their old pre 2006 hdds that hardly ever failed.

I'd love to downgrade from 5. I use the web browser at times on my Pro, and since 5 it's gone from speedy to so laggy and slow it's almost unusable.

I wish the USA could handle things like South Korea does.

Top ranking company brass actually go to prison for crimes, versus the USA, where they get a tiny fine at the very worst. Or a large severance payout.

Same here. It's like staring into the sun when it's off.

Maybe take pics of serial number of things, and also appliances and things you need to leave behind.

I'm really sorry, I hope your house is spared, it must be horrible right now worrying.

There's a billion other apps, including ++ which I use. But for just quickly jotting down something, lightweight notepad works great, and being with the OS I know it's always right there.

I hope they never drop paint and notepad. Since win 95+ i've found myself still using both enough that it would really freak me out if they suddenly got deleted in an update.

That's too bad.

I had an old HP Ipaq running Win CE back years before Apple did their first iPhone.

Microsoft was first, and it worked pretty well. Another case of MS getting into things too soon, and somehow missing the boat again as time moves by.

I used to love speedtest.net, but since finding testmy.net which keeps a log of your previous tests, I haven't gone back.

I typically receive the correct up/down ratio, though intermittent issues may lower it for a day or less. Though various ISPs over the years. It would be nice to have a consistent as-advertised speed though if you happen to live in an area where that isn't happening.

Interesting. Microsoft is fairly good at bringing things into a consumer space.

Might be nice to have a future version of Windows see me doing a repetitive task, and just say, "Hey, I can take over this for you if you'd like".
