Steve Wozniak: 'We've lost a lot of control'

Interesting thoughts from Steve Wozniak who cofounded Apple about the "digital lifestyle"....An insight on what is to come perhaps?

"We're dependent on it (computers) and eventually, we are going to have it doing every task we can in the world, so we can sit back and relax. All of a sudden, we've lost a lot of control, we can't turn off our internet; we can't turn off our smartphones; we can't turn off our computers. You used to ask a smart person a question. Now, who do you ask? It starts with g-o, and it's not God,"

U.S. Orders Diplomats to Stop Telling Truth Until Further Notice

Fallout from WikiLeaks Mess

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – In the first major policy fallout
from the WikiLeaks disclosures, the State Department has ordered all
U.S. diplomats to “cease and desist telling the truth until further
notice.”

“We are working overtime to try to make sure that leaks like these
don’t happen again,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told
reporters. “But until we’ve got the leaks plugged, it’s incumbent on
all our diplomats to put on their lying caps.”

Secretary Clinton noted that since many US diplomats are major
political donors with long careers in the business world, “this
shouldn’t be a reach for them.”

But for those career diplomats who came up through the Foreign
Service, the State Department will be holding a series of “truth
avoidance seminars,” led by executives of Goldman Sachs.

Additionally, Secretary Clinton said, the State Department would
install on all diplomats’ computers new software called CandorShield™,
which automatically translates truthful language into a less
embarrassing truth-free version.

For example, she explained, the software would translate the phrase
“two-faced weasels” into “trusted Pakistani allies” and would delete
all references to French President Nicolas Sarkozy as “Monsieur Shorty
Pants.”

Elsewhere, Interpol issued this statement about its pursuit of
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange: “We will find Julian Assange, and
then we will hire him.”

Rush to Judgement - Motor Trend Car of the Year

I'm sure many of you have heard of the Chevy Volt. It recently won Motor Trend's car of the year. There has been a fair amount criticism around this vehicle but any way you look at it, it's truly revolutionary technology.

Anyway, this article is funny. Basically a response from Motor Trend defending it's choice for car of the year against a certain conservative talk show host. I am not politically motivated but I honestly thought this was funny and wanted to share.

How Google Docs won me over

Great article on Google docs. I think it's the future of word processing as Google continues to fine tune the product.
