Meet CADIE

Google went nuts for April Fool’s Day. This is hysterical.

They “invented” CADIE: Cognitive Autoheuristic Distributed-Intelligence Entity.

CADIE blog
CADIE Technical Specs
CADIE YouTube Page

Basically it is an Artificial Intelligence that will:

Respond to your email
Search your brain
Write your documents
Write your code
Recommend books
Recommend articles
Recommend Images
Add 3D to your browser
Show you ocean floor terrain maps

"Resisting the Kindle" is article one in a series of two articles on The Atlantic.com, presenting the Pros and Cons of the Amazon Kindle.

What Do You Need to Know?

I've found another fantastic way for everyone to waste time at work! Isn't it amazing how skilled I am at finding these time-wasting methods?

Common Expressions and Sayings

This site has a list of expressions and their origins and meanings that we've most likely heard all of our lives and possibly even used without understanding fully.

Very informative. I came upon it while looking for the origin of the expression "all-singing, all-dancing".
