After reading the article about it I understand that we are living in a rich word with no problems to solve anymore...
That group proved nothing, but how can be resources vaste on useless 'science' studies...

I was particulalry worried when I read the article because at first I thought it said a computer had managed to "successfully stimulate a 13 year old boy" which is all kinds of wrong.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I must admit, the name Turing Test and 13 year old boy did make me kind of worried

So Justin Bieber passed the Turing test?

At an event on Saturday at the Royal Society in London, a conversation program running on a computer called Eugene Goostman was able to convince more than a third of the judges that it was human.
That just means that 1/3 of the judges were idiots. Seriously though, if determining whether a machine passes the Turning Test relies on, well, humans, then we have a significant problem. And interesting test would be the inverse: given a real human being, how many "judges" will deem the person to be a machine?
Technically, only a machine should be able to determine whether another machine passes the Turing Test.

i agree
1/3 of the judges is just a "Placebo effect", 2/3 should be better to eliminate morons.
Turing was more subtle, he didn't write AI "equals" RI, but only AI "simulates" RI.

I am looking for a device that will enable me to turn on/off a power socket remotely via a pc or an app on my phone.
I have seen these (CLICKY)[^] but wondered if anyone had experience of using this equipment and whether it was easy to install/use.
Any information gleaned from the hive mind will help me make an informed choice.

Ah, a 1982 Mobile Phone.
No use, alas, as the obsolete nature of the OS disavows me from getting in to alter the BIOS.
However it has potential as a 'point-of-entry' aid.

Is this some kind of torment for the kids ?
I am against that. This might actually do the work, and make the poor little innocent children do their homework and home chores.

Hi Dave
I came across [Home Wizard]but It's more a complete home automation packet that is extendable so you can add modules such as an IP camera to it or temperature control to it and so on. It has mobile apps for the remote control
With friendly greetings,

We got a Kankun remote socket that looks very much like the Belkin model. My husband managed to set it up fairly easily so that he can turn the socket on and off from his Android phone.
We haven't used it much yet but I can see how it can be very useful.
