That is a reasonable explanation. Kind of sad when we live in a society where phones can be kidnapped. I hope they don't start kidnapping my Taco Bell orders before I can get to the window.

That assumes that iPhone users know how to access email without their phone.

It is almost like the article is saying that something a computer did was not perfectly in line with human reasoning. We should stop being life-centric and realize that if the computer says two pictures of the same cat should not be classified in the same way, the computer is simply wiser than we are, and if we don't believe it the computer will beat our asses at chess and then we'll see who is smarter.

If the phone is locked, on wonders how they contact the owner to tell them their locked phone is being held for ransom.

How could this possibly fail?

I suppose it is OK to post rape videos and snuff films on Facebook now as well.

So there is a clear path to actually producing energy with nuclear fusion? It has been theoretically possible for many decades, but the devil is usually in the details. I'm glad to hear that I will have my flying car soon!

Nothing strikes fear in the hearts of bloated corporations more than competent individuals banding together to produce a superior product for free. Socialism!

"somewhere between 2 GB and 117 GB" ... can't narrow it down any more than that? Are you sure it was an Iranian email address, or was it just somewhere between Israel and Yemen?

Can scientific breakthroughs really be scheduled? "Hey Einstein, could you give us an estimate on the Relativity thing?"

Really? We are talking about hidden terms of service that effect exactly nobody? Must be a slow day at Fox News.

Most people don't consider those healthy. Doesn't matter, most people probably know that Chinese food isn't really health food either. It just tastes good. Actually, it sounds pretty good right now. Time for lunch!

The Chinese have already succeeded in their main mega-project: Chinese restaurants. While mostly salt, fat, and MSG, Americans gobble it down and feel they are eating healthy because there is a piece of broccoli in there somewhere.

Rush Limbaugh said so.

I looked into it. It is still basically unusable for any real-world app, as far as I can tell. I would say that its chances of taking over are probably about the same as Sarah Palin being elected President, or finding sentient life on Mars.
