I used to confuse this dumpy brand with Asus because of the similar names, so I came up with this:

Asus: "Ace us"
Acer: "Ace...err..."

....is that weird?

You mean Apple doesn't power down its data centers when the sun isn't out and the wind isn't blowing? No...

Lazy robots, wandering the streets and living off of assistance from the government!

As this info slowly becomes public knowledge, do we know that all BS "features" like these can even be turned off? Ones that we perhaps don't know about yet?

If Microsoft is using their OS to sell our private data and our utilities to deliver services, and by default mind you, what lows won't Microsoft stoop to?

There's no justification for Microsoft using your utilities to deliver their services.

I won't be updating to Windows 10. Luckily, I was intuitive enough to smell this "free update" BS from a mile away and didn't already update.

Plus there's, you know, that whole salmonella thing.

Harden your infrastructure and stop being a dumbass.

Seriously, of all the times to retaliate, you chose this? You're just going to push them to more attacks.

Didn't they JUST get unbanned in New Delhi? Over a single allegation of rape at that? It doesn't seem like good business to sink a billion dollars over 9 months in a country that will ban you for a year over one allegation.

Companies like Microsoft and Google stand to make billions off of our private information.

I expected no less from a "free" OS upgrade from MS.

I'll stick to Firefox; I like features.

I use this magical thing called an expiration date.

Like I said, there's a lot of work to it. I said "just" because this article makes it sound like a new concept. Adaptable AI is all about programming it to adapt.

Chrome sucks and an unorganized open source is unlikely to become a major competitor.

It's not like that was ever out of the range of possibility. You just program the thing to "know" about itself and its reality.

Realistically, though, what is the potential gain next to the amount of work necessary to create and maintain a conscious computer? Sure, there are some interesting theoretical psychological applications, but beyond that, I'm not seeing it.

I really want to see a third competitor step in.

Patenting organisms and DNA and crap like that should not be legal.

Yeah right.

It doesn't surprise me that there were feminists upset about this. They could find "sexism" in absolutely anything.

I hope people get the opportunity to negotiate their salaries now.
