For once I would love to read an article on the internet about robotics where "Someday the robots are going to kill us all." is not mentioned, even in passing.

Oh get over it.

If you look at their experiment, they are definitely not recognizing entire language patterns. It is MUCH simpler than that.

Sorry, but I am not convinced. That's like the old dumb meme about it being a shop because you can tell by the pixels.

This is really awesome and creative, but not that amazing technologically.

So you are saying you can determine the wiring of the chip from a blurry video?

WTF are you talking about? You have always been allowed to take photos and videos of people in public without permission. That's why it's called PUBLIC.

A little dated, but I started watching the entire series from the start few months ago and am thoroughly enjoying it.

I love every single moment of SG1 and Atlantis so far (still watching on Netflix). Even the shitty moments. SGU wasn't bad, it was just getting better when it was cancelled.

I have yet to see an email program where you could put a message into multiple folders, at least not by default.

Folders are elementary to Gmail users? Gmail doesn't use folders, it uses labels and archiving which is far superior.

Rdio definitely does Facebook contacts. I don't know where you got the idea they didn't. They are integrated into the open graph exactly like Spotify is.

That hurts my brain.

Can't we get a Teal'c up in here? Or at least a Daniel Jackson.

I am both spec obsessed and design obsessed.

Actually Apple's control of the supply chain IS unheard of.

Issues with which part?

Happy to.

The Card Case app sends all your details to the merchant, so they don't need to type in your name or anything. Even if you have a weird name, they will be able to recognize it unless it sounds nothing like the way it is spelled.
