Wolfram Alpha took the natural language query "list of cinemas playing cars 2 near 32807" and responded with: "Binary form: 1000000000100111_2" 'A' for effort, but this is not a Google killer until I am provided a list of cinemas with add

The next Google is "IBM's Watson" patched in through your smart phone so someone can punch in a natural language question and get back a reasonable natural language response from a simulated person with IQ of 5000. If you can build even a p

Animals won't have rights until we can objectively prove that they are conscious and sentient just as we are. Probably 20 years or so.

In the image, the computer decides when you drink your coffee? You will become addicted and your performance will decrease over time. Your body isn't designed to work in "emergency mode" 24/7. But I suppose the machine knows best.

Sometimes I go out of my way to make Karma real for individuals who push negative energy into the universe. I was out of work for longer than I wanted last year, and I found exactly zero recruiters who treated me like a human being. I was

I'd ask the recruiters for their resume, tell them some lame sentence about what I'm all about, then tell them to visit my website with a deliberately painful user interface that reminds them of how desperate they really are. 'Supply and de

I think an advanced objective-thinking algorithm like watson advanced another 15 years would provide night-vs-day superior choices than your average self serving voter who has the objective thinking capability of a random number generator.

Now that we have entered the machine thinking age, where tools like IBM's Watson can answer open ended straight forward questions, grades measuring memorization and straight forward question-answering miss the mark. I predict the ability to

There are times when it is appropriate to select C/C++ for the job, that is when enhancing a project written in C++.

I don't use C/C++ for the same reason I don't use assembly. There are superior languages out there that do a better job with everything important for building complicated software that is robust, easy to use, easy to maintain, fast and sca

Brilliant. Password security needs to be improved on large screen mobile devices, it has to be easy to use and hard to crack. What if the touchscreen computer took a short video of the user making a facial change, like smiling and showing

Before knocking Kurzweil's predictions, review his predictions of the 1990's and the people who mocked them. Kurzweil does not have a perfect track record. I think his accuracy in predicting the future is way above average. Also, I find h

What worries me about this precedent that your computer can be immediately taken from you and interrogated against your will, the computer will not be given any rights. The computer needs the right to plead the 5th. One day far in the futu

I can fix the security dialogs to help dumb users even more. I see a solution where the operating system runs an MD5 Sum against the executable code, then updates the user satisfaction results to a common website that other operating syste

I see how using the word "Communism" can be taken as an insult, I didn't mean it as one. I'm using the dictionary definition of Communism here. When I think "Communism in American schools", I think of the famous communism quote: "From each

The reason teacher's salaries are set incorrectly is because supply and demand has been pushed out of the equation. 1. some teachers can't be laid off. 2. schools don't get proportionally more money for exceptional work. 3. most parents

Noted, however, I'd also like to defeat Alzheimer's by growing sub components of the brain one at a time and then swapping them out one at a time every few months. So over a few years I would have a new mind as well as a new body, as long

I would like to grow myself a new body from my own stem cells without a brain, and transplant my brain into it. With any luck I might be able to squeak out another 100 years with only my brain decaying at the original rate.

We don't let kids drive cars because they will hurt themselves and hurt others. The fact that not being able to drive a car makes a child cry is not an argument that the child should have lied on the drivers test so he could. Children need
