We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Stop it. You're making it hard for us to make progress.
Maybe it's stupid. How is it hampering progress, though?
If we can make a bad AI, maybe we can make a good AI that stops the bad one.
Kind of like how the NSA is doing good spying to counteract all the bad spying.
The desktop is increasingly unimportant, or mostly an adjunct to where people do their primary computing which is portables.
Sure, if by "computing" you mean consumption. All the great things people buy and consume weren't created on portables or the OSes they run. There are still important markets in which to make gains.
Skeptics point out that the foundation smells like a gigantic tax dodge... the money remains under Bill Gates' control with not a cent of tax paid on it.

C for yourself.
