"WhatsApp has enough security for those who don't need any."

Hardly any improvements, hugely increased prices. Remember all the big names who recently pulled out of a PC market of vanishing profits. Apple is right now probing the brand loyalty of MacBook customers. Or perhaps, they've already made their decision, and this is just their signal to every Mac owner who still has some brains left: Today, the end of Apple the PC manufacturer has turned from a crazy idea into a definite possibility.

But everyone knows that: Polish Jokes!

Google search has basic flaws. It's not even able to strip the apostrophe-s off a term. That is, if in a web page a name occurs in the genitive only, Google search will not find it if you do a search for that name. And there's no way to report this to Google. E-mails will be ignored, and so will the "feedback" you give (which is processed by a subsidiary anyway).

I was just about to write the opposite: Men are cry babies. Women are prepared to take some pain. While the pacifier silences the boy, there will be no noticeable effect on the girl who had silently endured her misery in the first place.

Just speculating, but: With Linux desktops, copy&paste can be confusing, as there are usually several buffers. What if he tweeted some important secret key by accident and is now in big trouble trying to save what can be saved?

In fact, browserprint.info looks exactly like the panopticlick.eff.org site I used to know, while the latter now shows much less info than it used to. Am I getting senile, or what's going on here?

Make Poverty History -- Make Burger History. Apologies for posting the obvious. We Germans had a taste of this a few years ago when chocolate manufacturer Ritter Sport asked its customers to invent new flavors of its square shaped product. Try "Ritter Sport Gorgonzola" as a search term to get a peek at some not-so-tasty submissions.

I've read about Heisenberg's interpretation of his uncertainty principle (or principle of indeterminacy, as he preferred to call it) as being due to the observer necessarily disturbing the experiment, but this has been refuted (http://lanl.arxiv.org/abs/1208.0034) and has nothing to do with Schrödinger at all.

So color blind people can draw information from what's meaningless to others? Or does completely f**king meaningless mean potentially biased?

Where is the OCR software that first identifies the font, then reconstructs the text until it's pixel perfect? I recently evaluated a selection of current OCR software and was most disappointed to see how little progress has been made in the last decade.

Tell this to a color blind person.

There are several smartphone apps, Color Grab being one of them, that let you identify colors at any distance, no extra hardware required. Btw. I suspect the video to be faked. It would require very advanced AI to recognize any font instantly. Usually you have to guide the software by identifying some of the characters before a match is trying to be found.

Now that surprises me. A lot, actually. I see people make mistakes of grammar all the time, and when once I inspected recordings of my own voice, I was shocked to find how many I make, especially if in a situation I wasn't prepared for. It is, for example, a very common mistake to make the numerus of a noun congruent to that of the immediately preceding noun, not the one it is really dependent of, as in "the main cause of errors that go unnoticed remain mysterious".

Another purpose of language is identification and differentiation. Language serves a purpose even to Robinson Crusoe. On a cultural level, matters are quite similar: Same language, same culture. Different language, different culture. Moreover, there are words in my own mother tongue whose meaning I don't know. Probably even words that I don't know. What makes the French the French? First and foremost, their language, doesn't it?
