Machine intelligence is wonderful. We now have the ability to target ads precisely to what people are looking for. For example, I was just looking at a collection of GNOME desktop themes, and I saw one called “Grail.” Of course I looked at it. But what really caught my attention on the “Grail” page was this advertisement:
Now I wish I had a cell phone, because that’s the only way to find out what a grail sounds like. Is it different for every person, in the create-your-own-reality way we’ve come to expect from the New Age? Or does it sound more like something by Eric Idle?
