Micro Python is a new implementation of the Python 3 language, which aims to be properly compatible with CPython, while sporting a very minimal RAM footprint, a compact compiler, and a fast and efficient runtime.

It should be at least...three times bigger than this."

As Apple (AAPL) rolled out a bevy of cool new features for iOS this week, the pundits were sure of one thing: A whole bunch of apps were about to be “killed.” This is a brilliant analysis - or not

I am siding with the "not" on this one.
there are so many apps that duplicate or give a different twist on existing features for iOS already. I am working on a different twist of the timer app and was amazed to find the number of different apps that are out there for timers.

Agreed. Apple can try all they want to kill apps or even entrenched stapes like Google search by adding things like Bing search results in Spotlight in the new OS X Yosemite, but they're not going anywhere.

I'm also going with not. If Apple nuked every duplicate app Google Play would become the biggest app store: A fate to be avoided at all costs. 
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?

Intel wants to completely eliminate wires from computers, and is working on a series of wireless technologies to make that a reality in the coming years. Every time I run the microwave, my computer screen flips over

I can't wait for them to eliminate displays, keyboards, mice, etc... a pure osmosis interface!

The study’s authors conclude that having DevOps practices in place improves IT performance, organizational culture can be used to predict IT performance, and job satisfaction is the number one predictor of an organization’s performance. And a study I just carried out shows that people reading this are clever

Newly released DevOps survey concludes companies using DevOps have better IT
Doesn't that fall under some logical fallacy like "begging the question?"

Forcing users to clean their infected computers on an ongoing basis would be more disruptive to cyber criminals than botnet takedowns. You must be _this_ secure to use the Internet

So the next time you get a call from a foreign-sounding chap from "your ISP" to tell you that "your Windows is sending us a signal that it is infected with viruses", you'll know that it must be legit! 
Yeah, this won't back-fire at all.

It can't work that way, but a website that says "Please go to your ISPs shop and ask for help" would work. It's easy to fake a service line, but a lot harder to fake an entire ISP shop...

Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have captured the most comprehensive picture ever assembled of the evolving Universe — and one of the most colourful. The study is called the Ultraviolet Coverage of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (UVUDF) project. I see London, I see France, I see my new desktop wallpaper
