TechrightsSocial@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: Not ready for Office 2013? Here are five open alternatives Between Microsoft's October launch of Windows 8 and Tuesday's rollout of Microsoft Office 2013 and Office 365, there's no denying that it's been a decision-filled few months for PC users.  #libreoffice #openoffice #oefJan 31 00:34
schestowitz"Oh, I'd never choose MSO. I use LibreOffice [and OpenOffice] for years now and it's much better than MSO. I don't really like GUI in MSO, and the fact that it's closed, standards-arrogant/ignorant and pricey. I still try to understand people who claim that MSO has some "really advanced features that can't be found in other office suites". No luck there, yet."Jan 31 00:34
schestowitzfor some users MSO might be needed. For the other 99% it's a complicated resource hog.Jan 31 00:34

schestowitz"The thing with Kurzweil is, he believes in the singularity because he wants it to happen. The problem is he doesn't really take into account the political ramifications. If everyone in the world wanted exactly what he wants, then, yes, his predictions would probably come true. But many people are leery of advanced science and technology, particularly when it comes to GMO, nuclear, and computers/AI/singularity. People in Jan 31 13:54
schestowitzgeneral want a distinct line between human and machine. They don't like the idea of machines being as smart or smarter than them, which is why movies like "The Matrix", "Terminator", "I, Robot", etc. keep being made. How many movies have been made about how AI is good for society?"Jan 31 13:54
