(X)od is the next big thing. (X)od goes beyond mere AI (artificial intelligence) into the holy world of Capitalism, where it is device-free, voice-and-thought controlled and totally ensconced "in the cloud" ... but as a "must have" service which is personalized to every customer.
Needless to say it will be brought to you by our friends and neighbors at Google at a substantial monthly cost. (i.e. whatever the market will bear, starting about $250/mo with Glass, including mandatory training seminars). (X)od is all-knowing, non-physical and omnipresent and growing (learning) on its own as we speak at the rate of terabytes/day. You could call it a mashup of Siri, Cyc, Watson, Wiki, Deep Blue, expert systems from all fields, a personal secretary, physician and legal staff ... and most importantly, seamless integration into every end user's needs. Basically... the name (X)od is a word-play on "X-on-demand" where X is either the sum and totality of human knowledge and experience... or... you-know-who (X=G). (X)od is pronounced as "zod". (X)od is the natural progression of ... well ... of "natural selection". Those with (X)od on their side (that would be "on their brow") will survive, multiply, and inherit the Earth, and the rest will be left to their own devices, so to speak. Not sure of the exact roll-out date, but (X)od was always the secret and hidden motivation behind Google Glass. In fact, Glass hardware has been available for some time but the delay in perfecting the natural voice recognition part of (X)od for the Red States has been the holdup :-) Jones CAVEAT For those who do not read vortex on a regular basis, the occasional spoof is not unexpected, nor is a real prediction made to look like a spoof.
