My impression is that Cringely is far more cynical of IBM than others. Still, the outlook for IBM proper doesn't look great. However, as a new grad joining Watson, how do those prospects look? Will IBM's issues effect me even with

How do you outlaw black box algorithms? What is a black box algorithm? Should we outlaw all calls to libraries we don't have the complete source code to? I can't understand the call to regulate a technology when it is decades (muc

Well the problem is the people who haven't been included in the tech boom and are living on salaries that can't afford those things and are being forced out of their neighborhoods. You can say it's just free markets again but

Interesting how internet connectivity is mentioned without a reference to internet.org after that got a lot of net-neutrality heat. Regardless, great to see so much money being invested in so many great causes.

Sure, but can these ideas be called genius until these concepts are tested and implemented? These ideas may sound great on paper (or on computers as his interface of choice), but the implementation details may not necessarily succeed and cr

How do you know who "gets it" though and isn't just a cult of personality that sells you on his ideas that may be wrong. I'm sure once his ideas are consistently backed up by the data they pay more and more attention to

I think it'd be fair to refer to him as such once people use his ideas as inspiration to create something revolutionary, but it seems weird to do so preemptively.

I have never followed him before and the article does little mention his actual accomplishments. Do you think he is a living genius because of his talks/ideas or has he actually implemented anything revolutionary to back up those ideas

Why do you have the Guardian app if you prefer to read their articles on the web? I think Google reasonably expects that if the app exists on the device, it is the preferable option.
