@arstechnica if someone tried that in my meetings they would get booted out. Followed up with an email to their director.

@arstechnica I owned a Palm pilot. It was great for me. Calendar, contact list and notes allowed me to have what I needed in a pocket and I didn't have to lug a laptop. End of day I would sync up to my home PC anything I added/changed/deleted.

@arstechnica Won't stop the bots. If they have to wait three months all they will do is stockpile an army of bots. Set them up to log in and back out at random, scroll a bit and fake being a person.
