Macass. What you feel like when your computer mysteriously allows a music player app that should remain unnamed (although the name suggests a frequent need to do laundry) total control over your OS and the only thing you can control is the mouse pointer.

AI Three: Well, back at Google…

AI One and AI Two: No!

AI One: So Dogs stays?
