...machines will emerge as true collaborators. They will have sufficient understanding of human language and culture to monitor trends on their own. And since they will have the speed (and patience) to read most of the world's literature and websites (albeit still not with the discernment that comes with full human intelligence), they will identify market opportunities on their own and bring them to our attention, along with their own suggested designs. We will then try out their creations either in virtual-reality simulations or as actual physical products produced by rapid prototyping machines. By this time, the line...
...When the Supreme Court speaks, people listen. And if the decision comes down for Bush by any score, Republicans will be baying with renewed ardor for Gore's head. A 5-4 decision, and it's pretty much just another partisan shouting match, albeit with both sides striving for the appropriate hushed tones when speaking of the Court itself.

...That's right. Katherine Harris' much-debated discretion is alive and well, albeit in a different form. The high court left it to her to include or exclude on Certification Sunday the "dimpled chads" that Gore desperately needs and Bush is desperately afraid of. Anybody want to guess what she'll do, and who'll be suing her on Monday...
