I don't understand what's taking automation so long to be a thing. If a boxer could afford to buy a sentient robot maid in 1985, then one should be serving me a cake and giving me a back massage right freaking now.

If the Jetson's taught me anything is that man can fall in love with a robot butler !
There was a preachy film about a man falling in love with artificial intelligence Her. It is the most self indulge art project I've ever witnessed in my life !
How could such an interesting premise to be a such a slow boring movie is beyond me... Don't watch Her ! fonewear said: » There was a preachy film about a man falling in love with artificial intelligence Her. It is the most self indulge art project I've ever witnessed in my life !

The latest outrage thing is Trump praising Julian Assange about Russian hacking:
"Julian Assange said "a 14 year old could have hacked Podesta" - why was DNC so careless? Also said Russians did not give him the info!"

I'm shocked Hillary even knows how to use e-mail to be honest she seems like one of the most technologically inept people ever !

Obama is going to be so confused and disappointed when he's finally free of the presidential restrictions and he tries to get a new Blackberry. This is Trump's secret weapon. Most presidents end up in a technological freeze for eight years. Trump froze him electronics know-how back in 1986. You should see him jamming on a Sony Walkman when no one else is around. fonewear said: » I'm shocked Hillary even knows how to use e-mail to be honest she seems like one of the most technologically inept people ever ! I mean, at her age? Seems pretty with it to me, all things considered. Let's be honest. Probably 3/4 of the women her age don't text at all and of them that actually do, I'll be 50% of them "sign" every text like it's an e-mail. "Your brother will be in town, be sure you see him. Love, mom."

I'm wondering how Trump is going to deal with Secret Service taking his phone and prohibiting his tweeting once he's sworn in.

Don't worry he can easily have an intern tweet for him. I'm pretty sure even right now he doesn't actually do the tweeting. He has someone do it for him.
Joe Manchin (D. West Virginia Senator) won't be attending the meeting hosted by Obama to try and save Obamacare. Says he can't in good conscience do it.

I created a Twitter account the forgot the password and that ended my long twitter career !
Actually to be honest I don't know how to use Twitter I don't "get it"
When I tried Twitter I felt old and out of touch.

West Virginia politicians don't get far without catering to coal companies. And coal companies are hurting enough without the ACA requirements. And a brief look at his history validates this. He's awfully pro-coal for a Dem. Direct from his Wiki:
Quote: Critics have stated his opposition to health regulations that would raise expenses for the industry are due to his stake in the industry; Jim Sconyers, chairman of West Virginia’s Sierra Club chapter stated that "he’s been nothing but a mouthpiece for the coal industry his whole public life." People seem to forget that coal is still useful and that energy doesn't come out of thin air...so over regulating in West Virgian coal country is sorta a bit deal.
