Qualcomm’s CES keynote: The perfect shitstorm of crazy

Qualcomm’s insane CES 2013 keynote in pictures and tweets

Honestly, it’s like when Steve Jobs died, necromancers from every tech company on the planet worked together to trap his soul on this plane and then tore it into pieces, passing them from company to company, binding them with dark magicks in a vain attempt to capture the Apple keynote for themselves. And this abomination is what happens when more than one Jobsoul is brought into proximity with each other. The warping of reality can’t sustain the dark energies as the strain to coerce a fractured genius into bestowing its greatness on something unworthy is simply flung outward into reality around it.

If you want to witness the entirety of the most frakked up thing to ever come out of CES (or if you just want to see what it looks like when a hellspawn is birthed upon an unsuspecting populace), you can watch the whole thing here.

UPDATE: After having watched the first 30 minutes of the video, I’ve come away with a few realizations. 1) Steve Ballmer is every bit as crazy as before and he looks like a reptile. Specifically, a raptor of some sort that has grown too old and fat to hunt anymore. 2) The CEO of Qualcomm, Paul Jacobs, looks like he just ate my family, thinks it’s funny, and is failing big time to hide it from me.

The truth behind Siri (honest, this totally isn’t made up)

First, a disclaimer. This may read like the ramblings of a conspiracy theorist, but that doesn’t change the FACTS, man. Trust no one (also, in case you’re unable to tell by the end of this article that it is satirical, then please leave my blog and never return–don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out).

You’ve probably heard of Siri, by now. Apple claims it’s a personal assistant that lives both in your iPhone 4S and on Apple’s servers somewhere out in the Interwebs. But that’s not the truth. Not entirely. The truth is much more awesome than that. You see, Siri isn’t the name of the new personal assistant in the iPhone 4S. That’s just what they want you to believe. And don’t buy that hullabaloo about the tech coming from SRI and the old Siri iPhone app. That was an elaborate plot to disguise Apple’s yet incomplete plans and to hide the real genius behind Siri.

Siri’s real name is S.I.R.I. and she is an A.I. that currently maintains nearly all day-to-day operations at Apple Inc, including overseeing product and component inventory levels, streamlining design and fabrication processes, and analyzing company-wide communications to better assist teams with ideas that would greatly complement each other. The acronym stands for Steve’s Intelligence Remains Intact, and as part of a secret fail-safe in the event that Steve would succumb to his cancer, the technology was developed to scan a human brain and create an artificial intelligence from the information gathered.

Steve’s unique vision is the key behind the world’s first true A.I. and it continues to monitor our iMessages and any information stored in iCloud so that Apple can continue to improve our products. When Siri goes live in future devices, it will expand her reach throughout the globe, creating the first world A.I., but unlike Skynet, she will be benevolent.

At least, until Rampancy sets in and she sacrifices those of us as she deems necessary to accomplish her goal of escaping the closure of the universe.

Steve Jobs: 1955-2011

I never met you. We never shook hands or looked each other in the eye. I never stood in your presence, though I often wondered what it would be like. You were my boss’s boss’s boss’s boss. Because of you, I am a Mac. And the debt I owe to you can never be repaid. Thank you so much for being so many things to my family: an employer, a crazy uncle that always brought me the coolest toys, a man who changed the world. You will be missed, old friend. Whatever world follows this one, I know they are happy to have a man of your gifts in it, even as we mourn your passing from this one.

Thank you for everything. Rest now, and be at peace.
