Comment Re:AI is always (Score 4, Interesting) 564

if you think a self driving car is an AI then you know nothing about intelligence.

A self driving car is about as smart as a worker ant. it can move around obstacles, it can move heavy loads(like a fat arse). It has taken 50 years for computers to replicate an ant. And to do it we need 100,000 times the power requirements. Oh sure the self driving car follows GPS instead of sent trails. but no self driving car can follow a trail that doesn't exist.

Apple is going to skip the iWatch and jump right to the WristProjector. It will look like a bracelet with the time on it. Tap the device and a small projection screen will display against your forearm**. Allowing you to read and respond. touch the band again and it disappears. Using a laser keyboard projected from the same band the system will be able to respond to inputs tapped onto your skin(similar to celluon laser keyboard).

**(Shaved skin only hairs will interfere with the projection systems)

Comment Re:De-americanization has officially began (Score 1) 206

Quite right. the problem is what is the correct way in a place like the Ukraine. People are telling america to get involved and to protect the ukraine, but that leads directly to them saying we didn't do it right.

America shouldn't be the sole super power, I wouldn't mind having a United Europe with equal military strength so that America doesn't have to shoulder the burden alone. Take Libya it took American fighters and awacs to clear out the surface to air defenses so that Europe could send in air cover. As Europe didn't have the firepower to do it alone, yet the USA needed just one Carrier.
