They spun of 2/3 of the company? The enterprise services? They already spun out all manufacturing to HPQ. What's left? Reselling VMWare?

Several years ago I tried to port the Windows Blue Screen of Death, but just couldn't get it right... couldn't get that rich marine blue hue just right. Gave up ultimately. I think Windows 7 BSoD is a masterpiece, and would really like to see it on Linux where the primitive black/white just doesn't cut it really - and window's rows of hex values on the BSoD is really aesthetically pleasing. I miss that on Linux.

Yep, George married Mellody Hobson, and she's a native of Chicago - born there, grew up there. Think she had any influence on this?

The license and gov't regulation really is the issue of the "fairness" here. The Taxi industry is highly regulated and licensed, in Europe & the U.S... Taxis & Limos that enter an airport area are highly monitored, and regularly fined if it's found by the monitoring police that the vehicle lacks a current license.

Uber side steps all of this gov't regulation, and, say what you will about that regulation, it is unfair to those drivers who are paying the governments the right to pickup and drop-off passengers at the airport. Of course those licensed taxi and limo drivers would be pissed.

One way to make it fair is to drop all the licensing requirements of the taxi drivers.

In Speech Recognition and Text-To-Speech neural networks were the diregeur fashion, a long with lisp. But in the end it was Hidden Markov Models, and even Baysean modelling that ended up solving these AI-ish ventures.

Neural Networks influenced a great deal of collateral and tangential research, the the Neural Networks themselves really went no where. They just weren't usable, not even for machine learning -- at least not in the "pure form".
