This makes me happy: Using Copyrights To Fight Intelligent Design
BEGIN RANT
Religious peoples: Okay, Science class is about SCIENCE. Intelligent design is NOT science. It is theology. Look it up in a dictionary. Science excludes mention of supernatural events because the definition of science requires experimental investigation.
If you want intelligent design in schools, petition for a SEPARATE class on theology. I have NO problem with that. Heck, I even think it's a good idea. Theology is an interesting and worthwhile subject. More people have killed and been killed for theological ideals than for any other reason and I think that reason alone gives it merit for study. We have to learn from history.

And A translator that doesn't even need you to speak. Other than just that neat part, it is a leap forward in how the speech is processed, using some newer AI techniques.
To all those that ever played "Animal Crossing": this is funny.
