I agree with you completely. I don't think a computer will ever have the capability of that type of conciousness...even if someone tried to progrm it in....

@ vnewman2 I bet those people are the same ones who believe a computer can not make mistakes. I have actually had to explain that "the data the computer is using to give you information was put into the computer by a human...

If customers would drop apps that are of bad quality and explicitly request the results of quality assurance test runs we all would not have this discussion. Does anyone ask any software vendor to show the the test results...

@Broadway0474- I think you have them right. It saddens me that technology is a battleground for political ideaology. It is best when it is above that, but sadly nothing is anymore. We can't even agree on basic science as...

@BroadwayPoint taken, the insurance companies are saved! But if the city that hosts Broadway were destroyed, there wouldn't be enough money in the world to compensate the various stakeholders. But since you bring up drones,...

This might be an oversimplification, but I've always felt like anything we program would have our general respect for life as a part of the programming. Or that, at worst, we could create the "good" AI to fight the "bad"...

@Broadway0474- I generally agree with you. Spacewar just sounds like a quick way to kill more people faster. All that stuff falls back to earth eventually. Also, I suspect if there is intelligent life out there (I know I'm...

I actually fear the cooking robot the most. They showed it youtube videos and it learned to cook. what if they showed it sniper training films instead?

@Charlie- It also implies that someone has that right. Just because we're the only people to land there doesn't mean we own the whole darn thing. The land mass of the US isn't consider that of the earth bound part and the...

@jastroff- Seems like the military/defense/aerospace world is still driving the tech. I think what is changing is when we find out about it. Think about how long the stealth bomber was a secret versus these Darpa project...

@whoopty- Not sure this will create jobs, but in the end, it might not be bad. I think in the future the only job will be robot repair. I'm OK with that. Give me a robot to cook and clean and fan me on the beach and I'm...

Great, now computers can do stuff i did at 5 years old. Wake me up when they can beat me at Call of Duty. :)

@Nemos- I can't say I'm worried about my freedom so much as i'm wondering if making machines that think like us is just a bad idea. We're actually really lousy thinkers. I wish we'd create machines that thought like someone...

Seems like just a few months ago biometrics were getitng discarded as a not a very useful security measure. If your retina file gets compromised, for instance, you have no replacement. What's changed that we're back on b...

So in the all the discussion of Fog computing, some of the other interesting technologies are getting lost here. I have a simple quesiton about 3-D displays. How much does the IT department really need to learn about that?...
In reply to: 3-D Displays
@zerox203- I have to say, I hate fog computing, too. But you're right. It is funny how the wording matters to people. If we called it mesh computing or point to point computing would it really change our attitude, or are...

InformationWeek Tech Digest, Dec. 9, 2014Apps will make or break the tablet as a work device, but don't shortchange critical factors related to hardware, security, peripherals, and integration.
Time to Reconsider Enterprise Email Strategy
Cost, time, and risk. It's the demand trifecta vying for the attention of both technology professionals and attorneys charged with balancing the expectations of their clients and business units with the hard reality of the current financial and regulatory climate. Sometimes, organizations assume high levels of risk as a result of their inability to meet the costs involved in data protection. In other instances, it's time that's of the essence, as with a data breach.
