The general idea here is to allow employees to quickly find information that’s spread out across documents in Microsoft’s various services and make it available both through searches and, when its algorithms deem it appropriate, in the form of hover-links inside of Microsoft products like the Office apps, Outlook and Teams. Because just calling it a search engine wouldn't sell?
Or SharePoint 3.0?

NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft crossed into interstellar space last November. Now, one year later, scientists have published the first results from the data Voyager 2 gathered as it passed from the sun’s sphere of influence and into interstellar space. They found out that space is big?
Or they found Matthew McConaughey?

Leonardo da Vinci also designed one but never built it for fear of misuse

Microsoft has created a proof of concept for storing data on glass. Because nothing says, "forever storage" like the stuff that breaks when your cat pushes it off the counter

I tried hiding some data from my wife on glass, but she saw right through that. If its Superman shouldn't they be storing it on lead or kryptonite or something?
|
|

Did they forget that you could also store it on a DVD or a hard disk....

Available beginning at Microsoft’s Ignite conference as a public preview, Visual Studio Online provides managed, on-demand development environments that can be used for long-term projects, to quickly prototype a new feature, or for short-term tasks like reviewing pull requests. Your code is in The Cloud(tm), so I guess you need an IDE there too?
“ Moving your development workload to the cloud boosts your overall computing power so your personal machine can edit media assets, email, chat, stream music, or do anything else, more.”
It can’t now?

I thought it’d be fun to tell you about the history of the GC configs ‘cause it’s almost the weekend and I want to contribute to your fun weekend reading. Because one person's garbage is another's data to conserve?

It is interesting and educational to go back in time and look at how programmers were represented in popular culture. What did they think of us? Did they know who were? "I’ll create a GUI interface using Visual Basic, see if I can track an IP address"

My sister once asked me if when the world falls to anarchy, and we're beaten down by our robot overlords, could she come to me and have me fix it.
I told her we're all doomed, because my first response would be to suggest rebooting the overlords, or look for the on/off switch.

The chemistry behind SmartGlass was first discovered when a 19th-century scientist gave quinine to his dog and experimented on the resulting urine. "The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!', but 'That's funny ...'"
OK, mostly posted so that I could say I've used Car & Driver magazine and the Wall Street Journal on the same day. But also because - as Chris pointed out - you needed to know what happens if you give your dog a gin and tonic and then stick electrodes in its pee.

Move toward ‘digital sovereignty’ will restrict data services along national borders in a global economy, Amazon and Microsoft say. It's like the other clouds, but it requires standardization on droplet sizes and fluffiness

Quote: “removes many of the fundamental benefits of cloud computing for customers—it restricts freedom of choice, flexibility, and ability to scale globally
use case:
I make website which 99.9999% of my users are Germany based, because its an internal application with cloud hosted functionality. I do not need GLOBAL scale-ability. If I do, I will make that a requirement of any solution I seek.
Data is a product. It should be treated like any other product in country of use.
I am pro freedom of network access, but also sane enough to respect some, not all, government entities requests for managing data in their domains.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
