I was poking through my blog posts from 5 years ago and found one referring to GMail invitations. I had forgotten that GMail was by invitation only for the first few months of its existence.
Those were the days!
The more I think about it, the more I realize that Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics really need to be adhered to.
- A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
- A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
- A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with either the First or Second Law.
I came across a funny quote on Twitter yesterday:

I saw an interesting article on the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s site and decided to contact them. They go into the January purge of Warner content from YouTube and its destruction of fair use.
