Alice Springs is a town, not a 'remote settlement'. Just because you would die of exhaustion walking to your local 7-11 to get your daily gallon of sugar water without the aid of your mums mobility scooter doesn't mean us actual human beings are living in neolithic environments. Sure it's a bit far from Darwin and Adelaide, but like hell are we a 'remote settlement'.

For this to be a killer-app it needs to be on-device translation. High-speed internet connections and high-speed mobile data connections are not common enough outside (and even inside) cities for this to be something you could usefully rely upon.

It's funny 'cause it's rape!

Own up, who has been wiping used hamburger wrappers on their testicles? You have no-one to blame but yourselves.

I wish we could come up with a cure for idiots who can't tell the difference between humourous comments and serious ones.

I don't think the FDA holds much sway in the UK where the research is being done.

someone upvote this for hilarity :-) (and for the pendants - it's not wrong, but unless you're in an escher drawing you've got to go back uphill some day)

Yeah but there's a new series of Star Trek coming out next year, he'd be mad to miss it on purpose
