Jorg Priniger’s speakingObject is a synth fitted with an accelerometer. It gurgles and mutters the name of God in a thousand procedurally-generated languages.

   Sounds more like a didgeridoo.

   Very cool implementation but….God that’s annoying! It sounds like someone strangling a linguist.

   #10 stole my line.

   why are the stars going out, slowly, one by one?

5. [schmod]

   I think it was probably Arthur C, Clark
   who wrote a story about the 10,000 names
   of God. A technician had just completed
   installing a massive computer in a Tibetan
   lamasary. The head lama told him the computer
   would randomly type out the names of God
   and when the number eached 10,000 the world
   would end.
   As the technician is riding away from the
   lamasary he notices that the stars are going
   out, one by one.

   That was “The Nine Billion Names of God”.

   I have a terrible hangover and that’s actually making me feel ill. Well done, technology!

    “Lingwo dead?”
    “Lingwo IS dead.”

    I want this as an app for my iphone.

    I’ll be the most unpopular person at work within a day.
