Words for the wise from the mouth of a fool.

From a WSJ article on TiVo's autoprogramming, mentioning similar systems on Amazon and CDNow along the way:

"Many consumers appreciate having computers delve into their hearts and heads. But some say it gives them the willies, because the machines either know them too well or make cocksure assumptions about them that are way off base."

When was the last time a machine "knew (you) too well"? And raise your hand if you honestly think "many" and "some" shouldn't be swapped in those sentences. Now, while you have your hand raised, slap yourself in the head. Thanks. (link via MeFi)
