. You tube now has automatic captions when you upload a video. The phrase "your doctor probably doesn't know" became "helicopter does more snow" The next OS for Mac will incorporate SIRI. With everything we say and everything we upload being turned into text I'm sure computers out there somewhere are just waiting for some unsuspecting helicopter to do more snow and bust 'em. |

HAL should have received a commendation for his actions. Even though he was only an AI, he bravely attempted to continue the original mission alone after all his shipmates were dead. Well, except for Bowman, of course. But he was locked out of the ship. Now that's dedication. What a guy! |

I am locked in mortal combat between a Mac Book Pro and a Canon MP810 printer/scanner, and ne'er the twain shall meet. My day is doomed I tell ya! Cheers |

Tried to update my Windows 7 32 bit OS to Windows 7 64 bit. After destroying my boot sector and spending hours of p*ssing around, I have finally got back to a vanilla 32 bit system with no apps or files (yes, I did back everything up ).
So I'm just plucking up the courage to have another go. Robert the Bruce had nothing on me... |

I did have a bad moment when it looked like my backup (on my shiny new 2 Tb external disk ) had not copied across my old email folders. Half an hour of heart attack until I remembered that the Windows Explorer default is to not show hidden files . |

10Gb of memory?!? There are Third World Countries that run their governments on less than 10Gb of memory!

It's the only thing that there's just too little of..." Sorry. My desktop has 8Gb. That's sufficient for anything I've thrown at it, but if I could put more in it, I probably would. RAM is cheap these days compared to other upgrades. My rant o' the morn - toilet paper commercials. I love the ones with the cartoon bears, but I don't like any where humans are talking about "the feel of clean" because, frankly, TMI. Those commercials kind of squick me out. |

A woman uses up a guys month stock of butt paper in one week. I always thought that the commercials about your 'strawberry season products' are far more alienating, than any about shitpaper can be. Especially the ones suggesting that's it's only troublesome for the noble-born blue-blooded among you |
