Perfect!
Now all we need to do is disperse AIs to control it all, and Bob's your uncle!
Or the Singularity's your daddy; one or the other.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Wouldn't that also increase the chances of failure?

That was one of the things that popped into my head -- what if a single packet fails, and has to be re-sent?

Many major companies, like Air Canada, Hollister and Expedia, are recording every tap and swipe you make on their iPhone apps. In most cases you won’t even realize it. And they don’t need to ask for permission. iSpy

How dare they?!?

Everyone, on both sides of the pond, should be glad that at least one governmental body isn't so corrupted by corporations that it's willing to do something about them.

Doing it without giving any kind of warning / information about it, not even being sure about the security and trying to cover up when caught? Yes, I find it unethic.

That's a good possibility to get to know how your users actually use your apps. That's far cheaper than doing tests in labs, and far more realistic.
C'mon, that little spying... that's nothing when compared to the improved user experience which thus becomes possible.
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

The fact that so many people are willing to give so many logical explanations for why so many people do so much evil is one of the too-many reasons why so many people get away with doing so much evil.
What they are doing is wrong.
The fact that it contravenes European laws is a tribute to good laws.

You sir, have a way with words. That sentence is a master stroke of a recursion in plain English.
"When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others; same thing when you are stupid."
Ignorant - An individual without knowledge, but is willing to learn.
Stupid - An individual without knowledge and is incapable of learning.
Idiot - An individual without knowledge and allows social media to do the thinking for them.

The worst vulnerability in the latest monthly batch, according to the ad giant, is one in which a maliciously crafted PNG image could execute code smuggled within the file, if an application views it. Good thing they have that high-powered fuzzing tool to find security issues

I shouldn't be at all surprised if they were making all this cr@p up*, just to ensure that everyone installs the latest data-slurping tools.
* Too many instances of "never seen in the wild" and "no evidence of it being used" make it sound suspicious

Millennials' recognition of songs from the 1960s through the 1990s is relatively stable over this 40-year period, a team of researchers has found. By contrast, their recognition of musical hits from 2000 to 2015, while higher overall than the previous era, diminishes rapidly over time. Classical music appreciation

Well, what else have they got to listen to?
Everything since then has been cr@p.

Internet Explorer is a 'compatibility solution' and should only be used selectively, warns Microsoft exec. Would they be happiest if we stop using all their software?
First Office, then IE.

It means you should only use it for that one internal garbage fire the PHB bought based on a 2 page glossy ad in his throne reading that was designed around deliberate targeting of defects to prevent upgrading anything without a service contract. Not that it matters if your PHB bought a 20 year contract or not since GarbFiSoft went out of business 5 years ago after their source safe repo became hopelessly corrupt leaving no upgrade path to a standard compliant browser.
