Wow, finally something interesting to say about Apple for a change! Apparently at Apple’s recent WWDC event they announced a “competitor” to DirectX called “Metal” … as in coding DIRECT to the METAL… get it "The fact that 3D works at all in modern games is probably largely attributable to a small handful of geniuses with sufficient IQ to create tools that have made it accessible to everybody else… with tremendous effort."

The article is very good. Unfortunately, he gets confused towards the end and starts comparing it to CUDA.

Anyone remember QuickDraw 3D?

Looks like a dead project; I checked the site and the latest version was over 3 years ago! So nothing happening there I don't think.

The UK government believes hackers who cause "catastrophic" damage should be imprisoned for life, Queen Elizabeth II said in a speech today, in which she proposed a crime bill that would update the 1990 Computer Misuse Act. "Off with their heads!"

Would someone please explain to them what a hacker is? 
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

The Queen is apolitical which means she has to rely on other people to be right wing, reactionary and xenophobic on her behalf.
(Also - "life" in certain parts of her realm is pretty darned short)

Marking the one year anniversary of the NSA leaks saga, Microsoft today called for broad change in how the United States Government and its intelligence agencies operate, and what they collect. Making too much work for them?

Recently, Oracle submitted the new Universal Permissive License (UPL) for approval to the Open Source Initiative (OSI), claiming the UPL filled the need for a permissive, MIT-style open-source license with explicit patent grants...At a high level, the UPL copyright and patent licenses are overly broad. They extend to current and future versions of both the UPL-licensed code as well as any software or hardware identified in a file included with the UPL-licensed code.
Abandon hope, all ye who enter here.

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.
"What is this, Python for ants?!
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!
