It's the polite way of saying they told the show to F off while they all walked out the door.

"We are a school district! We are above the law!"

I'm fine with my car storing data up to a point. It shouldn't be accessible to anyone short of some "black box" data in the event of an accident. Beyond that, what would anyone truly need the data for?

It actually seems reasonable enough. Electronic computers are less than 100 years old. We've gone from a house sized machine that was a glorified basic calculator, to having reasonably powerful computers the size of a pack of gum. (the raspberry pi is what was coming to mind) 2029 is 15 years off, a lot of progress and breakthroughs may come by then. Granted, yes, there are plenty of things about "thinking" we just have no clue about. But all it takes is one "Eureka!" moment and the world can change.

You're right, that definitely smells like a crap ton of money was on the line and the USOC was happy to cash the check regardless of complaints. But I have to wonder if some piece of it is what I like to call "Dumbo's feather". Never needed the feather, but it kept his head in place. They think they'll skate better, but it feels different with the vent, so it messes with their head and suddenly they've screwed themselves up, not the suit messing with them. Get their head in the game and they'd skate just fine. Although I still can't figure why a vent is even needed, just use heat/water wicking fabric if that's the intent.

I donate mine. Once in a while I get a bag that lets me ship them off to be reused for military purposes or for abuse victims.

Poor guy doesn't stand a chance, nor does Microsoft in the long term. Both previous CEOs are on the board, so both former CEOs are amongst his bosses. On top of that, I'm sure he'll be expected to maintain the status quo as opposed to being allowed to think in new directions.

Sadly, I see this same thing happen when I judge novice high school debate. "Well they didn't counter arguments X, Y, or Z, just A through W, so therefore I should be declared the winner."

Except that your "poking of holes" does nothing to actually prove your point. I have yet to see a Creationist willing to stand up and offer their points in a valid scientific setting. Their entire argument is "Well it's right because the Bible says so", despite all the evidence to the contrary. It's nothing new. Despite evidence showing the sun was the center of our galaxy, the all-knowing Church cried "heresy" because it was against their beliefs.

And here again we see a fine example of someone "explaining" something they truly have no clue about. PHB (pointy hair boss) picks up on recent buzzwords and tries to use them to sound smart.

"If it's "anonymous" they must be hiding something! And open source can make things anonymous! So open source users are hiding something, like drugs and guns and other evil things! Oh think of the children!"

Apparently he doesn't realize black markets existed looong before the internet ever came around.

Not a surprise really. There weren't exactly large groups running around to intermingle. You want to procreate and expand the species you had to look within your own local group.

Exactly. As I see it he had three choices:

1. Remove his Glass and eat at the restaurant like a civilized person
2. Get up and leave
3. Throw a temper tantrum and make a scene

If someone wants to take a picture of their dinner, or they're out with friends and take a few pics of each other, I'm ok with that. As someone else mentioned, sometimes workers are on call and need to use their cell because they're getting a call from work. Personally I try to step away to take that call. But beyond that it's just having basic courtesy and manners. Both of which this idiot seems to be lacking.

He sounds like little more than a toddler having a hissy fit. "Well I don't SEE anything that says I can't wear it. Just cause you work here doesn't mean you're the boss of me." Um, how about common freaking courtesy? Do you really have to be wearing your Glass constantly? Just cause I don't see a sign that says I can't come piddle in your wine glass doesn't give me the OK to do it. Admittedly, I do get irritated by people that just can't put down their mobile device for 10 minutes without getting twitchy. You want to visit a restaurant that allows Glass and whatever else? Fine, go open your own place. Otherwise, yes, you are subject to the "rules" of the restaurant you're visiting.

Biggest thing though...have common courtesy. If you've been asked nicely to do something at a business, do it. Their place, their rules. If it's truly unreasonable or discriminatory, then make a case out of it. They ask you to put away your mobile device, speak more quietly, dress in certain attire...do it! But if you're going to throw a fit solely because you choose to be a self-centered ass, then please lock yourself in your house and stay away from the rest of us.

You're close, but need to also add infrastructure and vehicle size. Many people have no way to charge at their house/apartment, and no where to charge at work. Let alone anywhere while out on a road trip. And a good many people need a vehicle with some sort of cargo room. These tiny Matchbox cars they're selling aren't much good for hauling a load of groceries home.
