Has it all anyway.

Why am I reminded of the game: Halflife, level: Unforeseen consequences right now?

My first smartwatch was a Seiko Data 2000, it was released in 1983 - and had a 4-line dot-matrix LCD display that lasted surprisingly long. It had an external keyboard with induction technology to transfer the data from the keyboard to the watch.

Since then, there has been numerous PIM watches released over the years, some with icons, some databanks etc. And 5 years ago - I bought a Chinese Watch-Phone with mp4 playback/recording, spy-camera, GSM-phone, Bluetooth (stereo) headset and a color touch screen with a mini stylus hidden in the wristband itself.

I used it the first 2 weeks to show off to my friends, I had to make numerous phone calls with it because no one at that time would believe that it actually worked as a phone, but yes - it most certainly did...and this was WAY before the well-known brands came with their limited "smart" watches, this thing could already do more than their stuff today.

I think I wrote...I used it for 2 weeks, gave it away to a watch-collector as a christmas present, because honestly...I'd never use it.

Ah, of course - who in their right mind would want Rule 34 of Bryan Cranston and god forbid...Robin Wright, right?!

...I tried to get some useful tip on how to grow corn at home.

It came up with - how to GET PORN at home.

You see, Netflix has a fancy recommendation engine that suggests movies and shows you might like based on your prior viewing habits

Fancy schmansy...explain this:

When I got Netflix, I watched all the episodes of Breaking Bad, the two seasons of House Of Cards, Batman and a heap of 80s movies, and guess what it tells me?!

Top 10 recommendations for MindPrison: Dora the explorer, Go-Diego-Go, Lazytown, The Backyardigans...oh I'm not even going to go on, when I browsed for more results, it even came up with top Chick-flicks to watch. Yep, they need humans instead of an algorithm.

I agree with you on that, but it makes a lot of sense as the culprit would probably have used the drive quite a lot, especially during certain acts *no further descriptions needed*, I'd expect certain secretions to become transferred to the surface of that drive making it unusually easy for any dog to sniff out. You know how small micro-SD cards are, right? Imagine someone hiding it in-between the wafering of a cardboard box, or perhaps a crack in the wallpaper? Surely that must give off the odor of the contaminated SD-card rather than the wallpaper? It's not like you touch the wallpaper all the time etc.?

Still plausible in my world.

At first, I had a real good laugh when I read this. There's no way the dog can smell certain memory cards with certain content on it, anyone with half a decent brain and some knowledge in electronics knows this.

But then it occurred to me, it's not the card/usb-stick the dogs are smelling, it's the fact that some human touched it, probably repeatedly from using the USB-memory (or harddrive) for a long time, this is bound to leave your human scent on them, and thus making it easy for the amazing dog nose to sniff it out.

Yeah, I'd say that's fully plausible!

...companies in the world.

This is a test case for them, it's all about control and it's all about the money.

Do you guys remember this: "Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws."?
Well, you better remember it - and understand what it means, because your FREEDOM is at stake!

Cryptic to you?
READ BETWEEN THE LINES!

You: Google Car - Start please!
Car: Access denied, user not recognized.
You: (tries to get closer to the camera). Google CAR! START PLEASE!
Car: Access denied, user not recognized.
You: #%!" *ss car, GOOGLE CAR - START PLEASE!!!
Car: Voice unreadable, can't understand the word *ss car.
You: (getting mad, swearing excessively). GOOGLE CAR - START THE F******* CAR RIGHT NOW! (stares into the camera like a mad man).
Car: User Too Ugly Error 404

(now, imagine what happened to the car)

Heard at the Apple Headquarters monitoring their users:

Oh no, we've got excessive vibrations on little Johnny (User 2317687491XXL), I think he might be pounding his meat again, better shut down his web access.

...THEY'RE MINE!

Those drones cost a lot more than my cheap vanilla toy drones from the local hobby store, so if they dare enter MY territory, and they fall down on my property - they become MY property! Bring'em on!

Try to say that repeatedly:

Now, have a few beers, and try it again.

Ooh, the mob is at it again, this time they want to dump a body on mars.
