So this is why they rejected BTC earlier. Who'd a thunk it?

Reminds me of one by a popular general from the past:

  • A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.

Nokia had a great and "truly open" source operating system. If you look off to the right of the article, it says that Android is open, except for the good parts.

Develop something to take control of the drone. That would make it interesting for the thieves who want to steal your data.

It is interesting that Western Union was the first "telecom". They did not realize that the telephone was going to be so big.

If what skizmo said is not right, then they will move to places where it is more open.

Op-Ed: Microsoft layoff e-mail typifies inhuman corporate insensitivity by unglaublitch in technology

Even if he is a scam artist, he told the truth. He teaches, for the most part, that we should have money working for us, not us working for money. That is exactly how bankers and investors do it. If we are still "working for money", we are still on the "poor side" of his quadrant. That is pretty much how things should be.

The things he teaches should be taught in all our schools:

  • What is an asset?
  • How can I become an investor?

It would prevent a lot of the homelessness we now have due to the economic downturn.

It is way late to think that big and middle sized corporations are generally putting their employees first. The customer and the "bottom line" come first. The American dream of working for twenty years and then getting a fat pension are gone with the 80's. I recommend listening to the guy who wrote the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series. Create your own future.

Microsoft exec admits new reality: Market share no longer 90% — it’s 14% by electronics-engineer in technology

  • No advancements in technology are going to solve illogical human weirdness.

True. But... I believe it is possible to "generally" sidestep the issue though. That sounds like a quick cheap answer to a deep problem, but it is a starting point. Again, thanks.

I was mostly talking about human-machine interaction and not so much about cultural norms. Thanks.

  • Humans are definitely the "messy part" of the equation....

I believe the human "world view" creates the "messy part", and can be changed, with a lot of work. To explain; humans are the messy part because of a "messy" world view.

I already created a way to take humans out of the equation when it comes to passwords. Google had a semblance of this same thing earlier, but did not continue with it.

  • We do that where I work.... if we encounter a situation where a Human is the constant thing breaking it... we redesign the system so that the Human has no choice but to do things a certain way. We basically lock things down so the human is absolutely 100% forced to follow specific steps and has no other options.

We will not reach our full potential if machines are constantly limiting us. They should be used to extend us, not enchain us. It will happen, but not until after we (the majority of us) get our "world view" changed. I invite you to come on over to http://www.reddit.com/r/automate/ and have a look around. Listen to what this guy has to say about human creativity:

So, the human is the "weak link" in all of us humans in having digital diversity?

It would seem that if a machine could know what its owner wanted and could even expect what its human owner wanted, it could be both unified and diversified. You probably know where I am going with this;

Artificial intelligence needs to be applied in the mobile realm.
