Pretty sure they've already been caught out doing that. If I remember correctly they were implicated in some of the issues in some SSL implementations.

An analysis of tweeting-while-drinking reveals patterns of alcohol-related behavior in unprecedented detail. I'd suggest Chris add it to the Lounge, but it's pretty obvious anyway.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Why is "Copying and pasting off the Internet" not the number one skill 
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

Yup, no Full Stackoverflow developers desk is complete without that one.

This surprised me. It's almost out of the uncanny valley. My guess would be that these are still pre-programmed phrases just for show. Usually these quite good looking androids lack neural networks and are just better ELIZA program with voice recognition software-wise.

Quite probable the interchange between Hanson and "Sophie" was a joke.
Also quite possible that if Hanson had said "Do you want to destroy banana splits ?," that Sophie would have said: "Okay, I will destroy banana splits."

No, I do understand it was a planned joke. That's my point. It would be harder for a neural network driven AI to plan (pre-program) these. I'm just commenting that higher level of realistic face/body in these robots/androids usually means less sophisticated software.

I could easily program a voice-recognition facility to respond to a specific phrase, and I suspect that is what was done here.

Exactly. That's voice recognition and reply implies Speech-to-Text => programming => Text-to-Speech. That's less sophisticated for me than Speech => (deep) neural network => Speech. The observation is just from my experience. Usually deep neural networks don't even have robot and are just software. More sophisticated robots use programs with expert systems or lower grade neural networks (not RNN, etc.). These best looking are usually so concentrated on realistic face gestures, skin texture, hair, teeth. But they usually lack more sophisticated software. Just my comment, no need to treat it like a statement of a fact. There're of course exceptions, but it was just my general observation. But I'll sit in the corner if my opinion was too much.

Opinion: It can stop forcing companies to pay for its bogus Android patents. Right. Like that's ever going to happen. Their legal department has to sue someone - how else can they justify their existence?

Here's the general rule for patent, trademark and copyright infringement cases.
1) Is the company actually making something?
2) If No, they are just out for money
3) If Yes, they are trying to get rights to a patent, trademark or copyright.
This isn't about Android patents, but Microsoft trying to get some concessions out of Google. It's rather ironic that Google threw a fit about Chrome on Windows and yet blocks Microsoft on Android. Both need to be slapped around a bit, told to say "sorry" and make up. Then kill Apple together.

Some people frequently check and re-check their mobile phones. Once this impulse is triggered, it may be more a question of not being able to leave the device alone than actually hoping to gain some reward from it. "But every junkie's like a settin' sun"
