This is interesting. For people with hemochromatosis, I have observed cognitive ability swings as they have their ferritin levels adjusted.

I wonder if they could run tests on regular blood donors as well for those with iron sensitivity and not.

Primarily options trading and golf.

Multi-turn conversation and knowledge system implementation techniques on the side.

This is a corporate ownership of personality.

Shudu is ageless, ever available, won't do anything against the corporate image and can be bought and sold.

Ok, she is a generated personality but this will happen with real people too. Tom Cruise is too old to appear in action films? Well, his image won't be.. even after he is dead and gone his image will be owned by a corporation. He won't be too short to appear as Jack Reacher anymore either.. We might be lucky with some celebrities who are already dead, at least they will get left behind. Its difficult to know how this will affect new talent though, perhaps society will become sick of recorded images and turn to live events but I can see that the CGI power will increase such that these images can be generated live.

We already had some of this with Tupac of course

This is exactly why I am going to start my own company in my own name and start being a contractor with my 'employers'. Why be a slave when we only have a limited amount of years on this planet?

This was a fantastically written article. I've learned and been able to explore so much from it.

I still love Google and wouldn't be where I am today without it but it makes a fair point when camparing this time to the early oil industry. It's not like there's no competition against Google, it's just been a fantastic tool and why use anything else.

I do enjoy it but I always seem to gravitate back to using a mouse.

Some sites work very well with just a keyboard for example, using shortcuts on facebook to navigate and interact with posts.

As soon as I interact with other sites and programs that need a mouse I just stick with it from there.

Does age have an effect on salary? I'm not getting paid as much as I should be getting paid for my tech profession..

In my opinion, I don't think cities should be partnered completely with one company. We may be closer to a dystopian future than we think..
