The logo has also changed quite a bit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_logos

The one of the recent iteration removed the symbol from the Klingon alphabet to be replaced by a Geʿez character, along with other changes.

The majority of the tax to be recovered are actually related to European and not US companies: "While declining to name the companies who benefitted from the tax scheme, Commissioner Vestager said that €500 million of the total tax bill of €700 million related to European companies, a development that may appease critics of the European Commission who have accused Brussels of unfairly targeting US multinationals."

Interestingly from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enigma_machine#History

"An estimated 100,000 Enigma machines were constructed. After the end of World War II, the Allies sold captured Enigma machines, still widely considered secure, to developing countries".

I'm sure they were quite happy to sell Enigma and also decrypt their communications for nearly another 30 years.

I'm surprised the article makes no mention of Adam Carola's podcast. Possibly due to some of the controversial remarks made by Carola on the show https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adam_Carolla_Show_%28podca.... I'm not a fan, but if you're mentioning Serial and WTF, Carola's podcast is right up there as far as numbers go, and was involved early on in monetising his podcast with adverts etc.

There's a lot of scope for this sort of thing with twitter hashtags, one of the best being a hash tag for Susan Boyle's Album Party getting shortened to: #Susanalbumparty http://www.theguardian.com/technology/shortcuts/2012/nov/22/...

Perhaps something the countries signing on to the Global Apollo Programme[1] should be investing in. It's priorities are Renewable/Storage/Smart Grids, but I don't think we should be ruling anything out, if 2C is the target.

"With the help of Chicago startup and robot writing firm, Narrative Science, algorithms have basically been passing the Turing test online for the last few years." If an article written by a bot is indistinguishable from that written by human author, it does not pass the Turing test, as they are typically based on conversations. One of the claims is that is that the bots produce typo free articles, funnily enough some programs were able to fool judges of the Turing test by imitating human misspellings: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test#Loebner_Prize
