Tech can now read minds and predict what you'll do

Microsoft's elevator that knows where you're going. http://blogs.technet.com/b/firehose...evator-that-uses-artificial-intelligence.aspx

Amazon will ship your package before you buy them. I'm curious to see if you'll be charge for stuff you receive, but never ordered. http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/18/5...o-ship-your-packages-before-you-even-buy-them

The real question is, which do you fear more the elevator will get? The blue screen of death? Or the red ring of death?

Meh... not really impressive.

Those elevators will also be programmed to send you to the floor that your workstation resides once your work break is over and you are scheduled to continue working. For certain circumstances and for the right price, those elevators might be persuaded to not inform your supervisor/boss of your absence.

As for shipping products you "didn't order", do you remember that dream where you had surgery for your cranium? If you do remember it, don't worry as it was just a dream. If you do not remember it, do not worry as you never had that dream. Also you've always had those marks on your head.

Was this not a plot to a movie...

Elevators drops guy off on wrong floor and he finds a different world, there is love and then loses them by getting back on the elevators, then spends the rest of his life trying to find that world.

Hold on, I think I need to write a screen play!

Isn't that Being John Malkovich?

That's what I was thinking.

That movie is bleeipin' epic. No matter what Malkovich does these days I forgive him because of this movie. Hell, I forgave Con Air because of it.

Yup, his place in cienmatic history is sealed thanks to this flick.

It's really amazing. I need to rewatch it again soon. Haven't seen it in years.

In the US if someone ships you something unsolicited, you get to keep it. This was in response to "Music Clubs" that would send you ten albums you didn't ask for and then demand that you either return them in ashort time-frame or pay for them.

Even the folks at Amazon mention that they hope in this situation people will pay for the item, return it, or keep it as a promotional item to generate goodwill. My transaltion: We hope all the old suckers pay us for what they never wanted.

It might make me visit Amazon more to see if I can click and hover my way into a bunch of free stuff. And maybe that's their entire goal here, getting someone like me to window-shop their site more often hoping I'll impulse buy.
