If you're an old geezer like me, doesn't this "AI revolution" remind you of the "BASIC revolution" in the 70s and 80s, i.e. when the BASIC language was new and hot.

BASIC at that time was heralded as a much simpler and faster way to program. Rings a bell?

I've heard the next version will be called "Visual Active NET Copilot".

Reminds me of the push of U2's 'Songs Of Innocence" into everyone's iPhones maybe 10 years ago.

I still have my copy of Lego Universe, hope this new initiative will fare better.

Sometime in the late 80's I was working in MSDOS and needed more working RAM for an app, so we bought the Phar Lap DOS extender.

Got the box and started reading the manual when someone stopped and asked "Why are you reading about horses?" What horse? "The mighty Phar Lap of course."

I had no idea it was the name of a horse, but I guess since their logo had a black horse I should have known :-)

In one of the stories of Sherlock Holmes he asks Dr. Watson how many steps there are in the stairs leading up to their door. Watson replies he doesn't know and Sherlock gives the exact number and says "You see but you do not observe".

Sherlock Holmes seems to have read this article as well :-)

I think PowerShell is a bit scary, for example I could never get curl to work in it, say a simple POST command: curl -X "POST" google.com should return Error 411 (Length required) from google (as it does in CMD.EXE)

When I try it in PowerShell I get: Invoke-WebRequest : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'X'. and some more error messages

even curl -X "GET" doesn't work :-(

The sidesweep you do on your iPhone to change the page of app icons or when you switch fullscreens on your Mac I am sure is inspired by the Switcher.

I remember as a kid reading Foundation by Asimov, when you arrived in Trantor, you had a boarding pass with a glowing arrow pointing which way to go. Almost there now.
