Google buys AI startup deepmind for $400million. Company doesn't even have a website just a placeholder. Basically paid $400m for their algorithm. Marry the software with Boston Dynamics robots? Hope they make something out of it, the valuations seem nuts.

Yes hear this redneck wifebeater's stories, they are so interesting. You two are perfect for each other.

Well google's (very)long term goal is to put ads into your homes after they take it over. IE: if you run out of milk, google will remind you then you can click and have it delivered. If google detect you running heat all the time at a high setting via thermostat, they may display ads related to...

For example, some prominent economists are deeply skeptical of Bitcoin, even though Ben S. Bernanke, formerly Federal Reserve chairman, recently wrote that digital currencies like Bitcoin “may hold long-term promise, particularly if they promote a faster, more secure and more efficient...

Quoted, will revisit end of 2014.
