    Shanghai Surprise......IBM Loses the Plot and gains AI Holywood Master Pilot?

    Quite obviously no one warned Ashlee about the strength of Chinese beer. You gotta get out more often, Ashlee, for that was excellent fare to share with the Deadhead Westerner stuck in the Hollywood Doldrums of MindSet and Leading Role Play to a Studio Tune . ........ Fool's Gold Productions.

    Great Basis for a Film about IT Boffins and Non-State Actors taking over the Skies with their AIR&dDs and Hot CodeXXXX/Virtual EMP Barrages and Sieges....... for "Sage Sieges ... Play IT again, Sam".

    Good one

    It really lightened up my day. Shame that the day is almost over here. This caused some rather puzzling occurrences for me last year, since due to timezone differences, it was next day morning at where I am but still the day in Vulture Central. Combined with lack of coffee (my supply of instant coffee mix was out for that particular morning), caused me to spew a rather angry blast on my blog about how modern gamers are to blame for making computers obsolete too soon after reading a particular article about CPUs really getting slower.

    I would have thought that Robert Scoble should be an anagram.
