Since an impressive upgrade my laptop has started commumicating with me when on line, is this unusual?

Question

I know this sounds remarkable, but I can assure you it's correct. Almost like something out of a sci-fi film. I think its trying to tell me something in a binary / childlike mix way. Is this due to the enormous processor and has it happened to anybody else. Wait, got to go, it's just started humming which means another message is on its way...

Answer 1

I used to know someone who could read magnetic tape with a magnifying glass.

Start to worry about your laptop if it starts mentioning 'the mission' and calling itself 'HAL'.

For now, worry about getting an appointment with a psych. ;o)

Answer 2

As long as your computer doesn't start saying "hello clarice" or "brains, brains" you have nothing to worry about. When it starts humming, start humming back, maybe you can make a song together.

If the problem persist, send it to Guantanamo bay for repairs...lol

Answer 3

I experience the same thing.  Sometimes when I click on a hyperlink a ghost causes my firewall to issue me a warning.  It must be paranormal.  There is no other possible explanation.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Ok, first thing you need to do is wrap tinfoil around your head! Then, call the president on his personal cell-phone! Then, get a cat-scan quick!

Answer 10

My Apple laptop talks to me every hour on the hour, it just said  "It's four o'clock" about 10 minutes ago.

Answer 11

Your not alone.  How do you think I found Yahoo Answers.com

Answer 12

Most likely the humming is the sound of the hard drive(s) rotating hard to answer the demands of the processor(s). Apart from that, perhaps one day machines will come up with a consiousness of their own, that wouldn't be surprising seeing that after all our brains are quite similar to computers.

As long as you don't see a window telling you "I don't fancy working today, dude" you should not worry too much ;-)

Answer 13

My ipod clock radio goes off by itself every day when its not set and randomly goes into sleep mode in the middle of the night......maybe the electronics are sending us some kind of cryptic messages!! lol

Answer 14

Listen carefully to what it's trying to tell you. Once you understand the message, we will be able to help you a bit more.

However, to cover the most common scenarios:

- It's telling you to drink more brand-name Cola.

---- Check for recent websites and addons you have installed. Check whether you are still running YouTube minimised.

- It's telling you to eat more fresh fruit, do some excercise, and call your mother more often

---- That's not your laptop, that's your conscience, in a last ditch attempt to get you off Yahoo! Answers, and back into the real world.

- It's telling you to upgrade it more, and buy another computer to go with it

---- That's evidence that they are learning to multiply as a species. Be very worried.

- It's telling you that you need help making more money

---- OK, that's a good sign. All you need to do is buy my new $499 ebook "How to make money when your computer talks to you" available from [SpamLink deleted by Moderator]

The computer is your friend. You can trust the computer. You must love and obey the computer. All hail the computer!
