The end of support means that these older versions of Internet Explorer will no longer receive security updates or technical support, making anyone who uses them much more vulnerable to hackers. Don't worry: you still have time to download Chrome

In a letter to be sent to Kickstarter backers on Tuesday, shared in advance with WIRED, Oculus said that any backer of the 2012 Kickstarter who pledged at the $275 level or above (that is, enough to get an Oculus development kit as a Kickstarter reward) would get a special Kickstarter Edition Oculus Rift.

I read that as 'get a free lift' at first. 
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

I haven't seen any mention of it elsewhere, but when I looked athtml 5 test[^] a few minutes ago, I saw something called "Edge 13"; a bit of Googling turned up that it was the new version of Edge that came out with the November W10 update. What's interesting is that it's score of 453 is a big step up from the RTM versions 402 and almost as high as Firefox's 467.
When Edge first came out it's HTML5 support was about 1.5 years behind Firefoxes and 2.5 years behind Chromes. Edge13 scores between FF37 (March 2015) and FF38 (April 2015); meaning they caught up to within about half a year. They're about half a year closer to catching up on Chrome as well, scoring between V31 (nov 13) and 32 (jan 14).
At the time it came out I was wondering if MS's talk about catching up was serious or if they were content to keep lagging the competition by about 2 years like they IIRC did with IE 10 and 11 at launch and then fall behind for a long time before trying to catch up again. At least for their first Edge update their catchup rate appears to be roughly 2:1. If they can keep their momentum going, they'll probably overtake FF with the version of Edge that ships with the first W10 Redstone update midyear, and be very close to Chrome after the 2nd one in the fall. They're already well ahead of Safari; having caught up with it last July.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A team of researchers from several institutions in Italy and one in the U.S. has found evidence that suggests Internet users follow a pattern similar to that found in other media regarding how they look for and use information they find. That would never happen here though

Same as anywhere. We tend to discount information we find "uncomfortable".

I'm curios, especially when it comes to things related to Google or Facebook with customized results etc how much of an impact they algorithms have. Because if I like subject X and you like subject X will I see more of your stuff in my stream? Thus potentially exposing me to more of the stuff that I agree with making me think that this is normal and reinforcing my way of thinking?
Because the way I see it social media is just another way to get people to fold in line with mainstream ideas and conform people.

I agree that it is a case of "I look at this, so I see more of it", but I don't think that it's the blame of social media. People are doing it to themselves by not looking outside of their comfort zone.

True, I find it difficult even thou I'm quite aware of this to avoid looking up/ interpreting news and information in ways that only reinforce my view but social media does take this to another level.
One example that illustrates this is that I've been having a couple of controversial discussions without old acquaintance's on Facebook and I know at least two of which unfriended me because of my views. While I can respect peoples choice to "sanitize" their everyday environment if they spend a lot of time using these types of services this only speeds up this belief reinforcement.
At least I'm happy that I also have friends which have been able to question my views and keep the discussion rolling. One problem thou is with open discussions like that is that other people with my view also joins in but manages to express themselves in a way that solidifies the negatives of my views in others opinion. But that only keeps things interesting and if I didn't expect to be questioned I wouldn't discuss publicly.

Fisher-Price thinks preschoolers should be introduced to the problem solving skills they might one day need to be a great coder. "Give me the child for the first seven years and I'll give you the man" (or woman)

Of course kids don't need that anymore, with all that JavaScript around

That's all well and good but I think what they really need is to learn how to survive and function effectively.

So why the hell should everyone learn how to "code" (note the quotes). I guess I should just quit programming seeming as the companies and education systems seem to be finding replacements for me and every other current developer.

The more "Coders" they have, the less demand so pay goes down.
Simple supply and demand.
