Chappie: The AI tale that’s about heart, not intelligence

Don't pay for the BBC? Then no Doctor Who for you, I'm afraid

RISC OS

Re: Being in the US, I'm no expert on the BBC...

because there are idiots in this country who can't speak another language and have never lived anywhere else and truly believe (in the same way yanks believe in the bible stories) that british TV "is second to none and the envy of the world".

Sadly, they are wrong on both counts.

RISC OS

Re: We should pay for TV we dont want

UP yours,

I don't want to watch the BBC and can't see why I should pay for it. I don't see it as vital.

As You do and are "desperatly against a pay-per-view model" why don't you pay for me and everyone else... especially as you think "...It's vital that people don't have a choice where their money goes", paying for me shouldn't be a problem for you.

Currently I'm paying for the likes of you for something I don't use.

Re: Free movie rental!

Yeah, but I can't cancel anything that isn't ordered... so I can't see how they are giving people a right to cancel as in order to buy you have to agree not to cancel.

RISC OS

Re: Free movie rental!

Yeah, that's what I was wondering... 14 days is a longtime to copy an mp3 or soemthing. I can't see how this will work. Everybody will be returning everything!

RISC OS

Lightsabres can cut through anything

unless you need them to actually not cut through anything, like in RotJ or maybe the TEsB when one of them spins upside down and uses his lightsabre to stop himself hitting the floor... so I guess it won't cut their hands either.

"lengthy time-to-market and lack of a key consumer use case"

No.

The reason they have flopped is because no one wants to give google/facebook/the nsa all their videos and photos and everything they ever do...

...also call me skeptical, but I'll wait a few decades for the long-term eye damage assesments to be made. Or are google going to pay my medical bills in the future when one of my eyes focuses constantly on something nearby and the other doesn't...

Not to mention the phosphor burn-in on my right eye of the google logo that now overlaps everything I see, with or without glasses.

Apple patents autographs. Checkmate, eBay

RISC OS

What...

..is the F'in point??? You get an autograph to make your book more valuable ro to show it to friends when they happen to be admiring your bookcase whilst waiting for dinner to be cooked.

Who the hell is going to be impressed by something that can't be sold because of DRM and everyone else has too. I know personalised autographs are fround upon by collectors but un personalised ones like this that everyone has, that all look EXACTLY the same are completely pointless.

PEAK LANDFILL: Why tablet gloom is good news for Windows users

RISC OS

Re: Tablets are neither phones nor PCs

> It lost billions more making boutique own-brand hardware which nobody wants.

I think people would want them, just not at the apple level price range, MS is more like walmart, apple is more like Harrods. Selling a walmart product at harrods prices is never going to work, and then not subsidising touchscreens for all laptops with windows 8 was dumb.

I have a kindle fire, never used a tablet before, never will get another. It has become a replacement for the magazine rack in the bog... apart from that, I have no use for a tablet.
