iMac Pro cost blows away similar Lenovo workstation, DIY builders struggle to meet price w...
Love the promo picture! The overhead shot and metal grey finish evokes a powerful and menacing Cylon Fighter, one that Starbuck, Apollo and Helo need to steal and learn to control in order to tip the scales in the war against the "Skin Jobs"!

Twitter plans crackdown on developers & organizations exploiting data for surveillance
It's not the tools, it's the subhuman tendencies in the head that directs the hands of the non-person holding the tools that is the source of the problem, and that applies equally to activists, government agencies, commercial "sellswords" (Game of Thrones reference thrown in there!) et al.
In short, only an internal (dare I use the term "spiritual"?) revolution in our all-round subhuman societies will "bell the cat" and usher in a truly New World Order to quell the ever-ascending chaos of current times...

Probably because of a couple of reasonsanantksundaram said:Why is Watson not 'consumerized' yet? One would think that there are tremendous opportunities to make a smarter, more informed version of Siri, if all the ads and publicity around Watson are to be believed. Why is it still in the b-to-b realm?
1. It doesn't work well in a general sense - just in narrow problem domains.
If Watson was as good in a general purpose sense, as IBM's marketing claims it is, why didn't they use Watson to fix IBM's own (tanking) business ? They've had Watson for years, and IBM still keeps going downhill - modulo a little financial engineering here and there.
2. It might not be architected to have any privacy at a consumer level - IBM has basically zero consumer exposure these days having sold everything consumer off to Lenovo, - they would be trying to spool up consumer outcomes from scratch, and it doesn't make business sense to them (as they don't have a consumer business)
