老澳门开奖结果

In 2004, the 老澳门开奖结果 produced a satiric video called 鈥淥rdering Pizza in 2015鈥� that has become the single most-downloaded piece of content we鈥檝e ever produced (at least we believe in the absence of complete stats). I won鈥檛 describe it鈥攜ou can watch it here if you haven鈥檛 seen it鈥攂ut like many successful viral products, it combined humor with a biting commentary on an all-too-real set of trends.

The video attracted a wide degree of attention鈥攆rom snarky commenters (: 鈥�2015 and people are still using Windows 2000鈥�), and even many people who don鈥檛 normally agree with us, including , those who can themselves to send people to our site, and even an that approvingly cited it (in apparent ignorance of its provenance) as showing the 鈥渂rave new world that CommieObammie wants to give us.鈥� It has even inspired at least one imitation. To this day we still regularly get requests for copies of the video or for permission to use it in various forums.

Apparently, as John Pavlus on the Technology Review blog, the video has 鈥渂ubbled back up鈥� on social media this week, and Pavlus decided to evaluate how its predictions have held up. Though he says that 鈥渁t first glance, the video seems laughable,鈥� and calls it a 鈥渄opey, decade-old鈥� piece (true enough), he concludes that 鈥渁 lot of what it depicts has come to pass.鈥� Pavlus observes that we didn鈥檛 anticipate location tracking or mobile apps. And more significantly, while companies are actually gathering more and more information from disparate sources about their customers, in reality they are usually far too cunning to actually reveal that to customers.

Of course we never thought a company would鈥攖he blunt honesty and coarse treatment of the hapless customer in the video is part of what made it a parody. No, as companies increase their leverage over customers by violating their privacy in ever-more-sophisticated ways, it鈥檚 the smooth dishonesty and deft manipulation we really have to be afraid of.
