Say what? Cortana? Yahoo finance?

Are we looking at net profit or win/loss?

Well its a bet against the spread, and the Saints are favored by 3, so its simply a computer taking the 3 points with a 53% chance of winning.

Saints win by 2 and the computer is right, Dallas wins

The Microsoft strongly recommends these picks.

The Mac forces you to make these picks.

Therein lies the difference. :lol:

Google Now on Android formulated these picks by reading all emails and contacts of it's users for the past 7 years, selling them to a 3rd party who in turn predicted these picks based upon its finding.

Dude... I don't discriminate... I'm rocking IOS, Android, Microsoft, Linux. About the only thing I don't rock is "db errors" like the ones we see on certain bulletin boards from time to time. :jester:

What sucks is that Google is fully aware of this thread, knows where each of us live, and will likely report us to the FBI, CIA, ICE, and our mothers.
