@askskn: Those board games are some of my favorites. Believe it or not, I was playing Scrabble last week. My friend's teenage son said, "What's that?" lol. Next on my agenda is Trivial Pursuit.

A good example of robots complementing rather than replacing labor to make labor more efficient without taking jobs away is Kiva's warehouse robots -- technology purchased by Amazon a couple of years ago.
In reply to: Re: America: Thy Future is Dystopian
This is a false argument. What jobs disappear are replaced by different jobs with different skill sets (someone has to program and build those robots/self-driving cars/etc., after all).Plus, truck drivers don't have...

While losing Chase was a strong blow to MS's goal of 20% mobile market share. There are still many companies that will want the exposure where ever they can get it - yet MS should probably take a page out of Google's...

I love that phrase, the Tyranny of the Talk Up! But I don't want to get in a trademark dispute so I'll leave it to you to promote.

Yes, people love their dogs. I love my dog too. But I have a very simple way of tracking his activity. Did I take him for a walk today? Yes. For half an hour? Great! I have successfully tracked his activity, and it didn't...
