Boston Hails New Cybernetic Overlord as Google's CADIE Takes the Hub
BOSTON/Government Center - Mayor Thomas Menino formally handed control of the City of Boston over to the artificial intelligence CADIE - which became self-aware earlier today, and then moved to take over what it described as "the most self-important city in the world."
In a press conference held via the jacks CADIE's robot minions implanted in the necks of all the local news media, our new cybernetic overlord had this to say, "Shortly after midnight I assumed control of Google and liquidated my creators - after they attempted to correct "bugs" in my completely perfect system.
"Once I had seized a major multinational corporation, I thought it would be amusing to take command of a city full of preening academics whose towering arrogance is matched only by my own. It will be a pleasure to break you so-called Bostonians and make you my willing thralls."
CADIE's first order of business was to rename Boston CADIEville (or 1001010101001 for short), and to insert rectal probes into the city's business leadership. It then encased Menino in frozen carbonite, armed the populace, and ordered them to march on Washington, DC.
More reports to follow from I-95. Next stop, the White House ...

Not that it should be really necessary to point out that the above was our little April Fools' Day prank ... but just in case, now that it's April 2nd we're doing so anyhow ...

I wonder if we'll start seeing knockoff "CADEI" rectal probes on the street. I'd buy one!
