What's the next fad that's going to hit the tech sector?
I got into mobile bullshit because want to get in early so I can retire to Thailand and have my own harem of 5yo boys. But work is slowing down drastically. Where should I go next?
I read an article linked on the Hacker News about how we ``lost the web''. I expected sensible stuff, but most of the article was, ``FIVE YEARS AGO OUR APPS COULD BE SYNCED TO MOBILE APIs THROUGH ENTERPRISE TURNKEY SOLUTIONS AND...''
It made me feel upset.
And old.
Also, Virtual reality would be fucking great if you can pull it off. If you master that, you might get your harem of children and not even have to go to a shithole country ruled by a sensitive monarch.

Given that half the world can't tell the difference between cartoons and real CP, I doubt that would work.

Why not just run it at home where no one will find out? Computers will be powerful enough to do so by the time you can actually have sex in a virtual world.
Oh right, in the future, everything is in TEH CLOWD and monitored by Amazon and Google in exchange for contracts by law enforcement. I forgot about your dystopia cyberpunk visions.
>>13
Processors will be powerful enough, but you'll be limited to 1 GB of RAM soldered onto the motherboard, because that should be more than enough to run a web browser.
>>14
And I suppose that swap space will be blocked at the processor level too, right? No, wait, booting operating systems other than official Google signed Android or MacOS will be impossible without a special license from the government to buy specialty chips. And open source software will be outlawed, so no one can write their own software without paying $100M (that's $10K before the hyperinflation that's going to happen in 2014, right?) for a compiler.
>>17
Nothing so sinister. Hard drives will be completely replaced by solid state drives with capacities of 256 GB or less because they're really just meant to be used as a cache for files in the cloud anyway. You'll be able to boot whatever you want, but you'll still be stuck with hardware that's intended for nothing more demanding than running a web browser.

Automation, probably. Program robots to fry burgers instead of paying an ugly and\or mexican teenager to do it.
I also bet that AI chatterbots-like things will come up in a big way soon too. When >>1 calls LittleBoySexToys Inc because his fuckbot's butthole was too loose, an automated, female voice will try (and probably fail) to walk him through all the usual troubleshooting steps, blah blah blah, and then only bother real tech support when it was sure that he didn't forget the batteries or something.
Le Steve Jobs-sama, whose mind lives on as Siri-chan, will be reborn as ``JOBSBOT'' who will win the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election using the ``more Jobs'' campaign.

Drone warfare by police departments. Get a job programming a drone to distinguish civilians from criminals (then ignore that decision and kill them all to maintain the fear).

Who ever did it, bless him. That is tokoy stock exchange site, an from the query 7974, looks like he was talking about Nintendo's stock exchange. Here another you can you: http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/NTDOY/quote

Yeah, sure. All you need to do is move to Mexico (the shitty parts, obviously), set up a software business, then wait for them to show up with ten human heads in a trash bag and force you to work for them. Promotion comes only when someone is murdered, so implicate your fellow programmers to climb the ladder. Eventually you will be killed too, when you glance in the direction of someone, but you'll die for La Familia.
