How is this a problem exactly?

Boring person with nothing to say corrects spelling.

NO. Bad humor is bad and should be punished.

LOL on the informercial thing, I thought this exactly.

It's not though. This guy looks like an idiot. How is a simple jar and example of some terrible packaging? Just because this guy has the hand strength of a 90-year old?

Sounds like a lot of foley work. The sounds of waves crashing don't match the video. I suspect all the audio is staged.

Are we going to keep reporting these stories forever? When will this increasingly common science fair project become boring?

I think the problem with this kind of thinking is that it assumes that machine intelligence must be very like human intelligence and thus must be entitled to similar treatment. I see no reason why this should necessarily be the case.

You can't increase freedom of choice by removing choice. The opposite of a soda ban is not mandatory consumption. People can either eat what's for sale or not. If they refuse to purchase items for which they are not given more information, fine. No one is suggesting otherwise.

Humanscale Freedom Chair is my choice, it has a headrest!

So showing girls that all scientists are very pretty teaches them that only pretty girls can be scientists? HUH!

I know someone who is like this about Pepsi products.

Just put it in a pocket (by itself) and the fabric will keep it wiped clean.

Why don't you just get a new one when you break it? What are you poor or something?
