As a functioning alcoholic I can tell you that I'm here for neither

it's a simple routing algorithm with an impressive infrastructure that maintains maps and traffic up to date. UberFreight is AI, otoh - they allow to book freight based on predictions of available supply, taking some losses on mistakes, and maintaining overall profitability.

Also Waze didn't replace any human service. The old days AAA trip cards don't count.

maybe we should better have a robot who eats this crap.

The only difference is that today you can do with programming immeasurably more than you could in the past when pac-man was state of the art. Building the same level of software has to be simpler today using modern tools.

You need to feed it and it constantly distracts you. Grow up.

sorry my mistake

that was probably Stanford

Guest lecturers have even included Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Ballmer.

and some wouldn't have to waste the time on reading the whole thing

can it be that often times "Beware SQL injection! ..." is followed by "and I need it yesterday"?

First go read TFA, then:
1. $1,500 is a competitive price for a Swiss-made luxury watch.
2. They offer to replace it for free by a regular mechanical watch that looks exactly the same as Connect.

Education = propaganda? Really?

Solve the root of the problem, spend this money on education in the ME instead. Given a limited budget, spending it on the current refugee problem, knowing full well that bigger suffering is just around the corner, is counter-productive.

VR popularity grows substantially.
VR market is going to explode with tons of new products in Q1 2016 (an assumption based on actual product announcements) .
VR movies (360 x 180) take at least x6 more than regular ones (less than 120 x 90 ).

Some VR products and solutions will have to use 265, without major improvements of the infrastructures.
Hence 265 becomes an enabler, and the license price vs. storage volume & network price begins to sound like a reasonable trade-off.

Hence the draconian licensing terms.
Just because they can.

Not quite so, at least not for me. I'm using Windows because my clients are using it and I can't risk sending a document/spreadsheet/presentation that will not look the same in their Office as it looks in my LibreOffice. Hence I suck it up and use Windows. My partner uses Mac with MS Office on it, and I have to correct every document on Windows before she sends out. Especially because some of them are in Hebrew.

... If Apple would make a relatively affordable TV on which I could buy and play movies via iTunes, I'd buy it.

I'm sick and tired of all the existing smart TV's; the last thing they are it's smart
