I was reading through this article and I came across this paragraph:
At Microsoft, researchers are working on the idea of “predestination.” They envision a software program that guesses where you are traveling based on previous trips, and then offers information that might be useful based on where the software thinks you are going.
I can see it now:
Is it just me, or does Microsoft try to do too much for you, instead of making it easy for you to do what you want?

Well, at least they could stop asking "Where do you want to go today?"
They'd already know.
Yes, I do know they don't use that slogan anymore. It's a joke.

I do not think "predestination" means what they think it means.

ugh - I can see it now... Microsoft MD, Manifest Destiny, which will micro-manage your life to the point where you no longer have to think, as long as you remember to plug in your USB 3.0 cable to your skull so Bill Gates can feed off you Matrix-style. *shudder*
