Lunar rocks brought back by the Apollo astronauts more than 40 years ago contain evidence of a Mars-sized planet that scientists believe crashed into Earth and created the moon, new research shows. Assuming you believe in the moon landing, of course
Can't trust them scientists. After all, apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system, and public health, what have the scientists ever done for us?

It’s fair to say China isn’t a fan of Windows 8. A few weeks ago, the tiled OS was banned from Chinese government computers, as part of a notice on the use of energy-saving products (if this sounds a bit vague, that’s because the reason given is). I leave the creation of an appropriate blurb to you fine readers. I all have is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The fact that support stopped? I doubt that it bothers them, there's always been little support on pirated copies.
The fact that the NSA has it's nose in the major companies, their products, and the fact that the source is unknown makes each version of Windows a security-liability.

Thanks to the NSA-hacks. What did the Queen propose we do with the NSA?

Blurbs:
- China says, "You can't touch this."
- Why break in through a door, when you can use a window?

Seems a reasonable precaution to me.

Well, if you are going to quote (guess) Shelley's "Ozymandias" in relation to IBM, then: I'll raise you Yeats' "The Second Coming:" in relation to Bbbb...ing:
"And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?"

Starting in 2007, I saw troubling things at IBM. I saw the company changing, and not for the better. I saw the people of IBM (they are actually called "resources") beginning to lose faith in their company and starting to panic. "Nothing beside remains: round the decay of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, the lone and level sands stretch far away."

When I saw the source for the link in the Insider, my immediate reaction was, "huh, surprised that wasn't on Cringley's site" and then I clicked the link...
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?

Swift is a good move for Apple; it makes developing for iOS more attractive. And because Swift, like Objective-C, is only relevant within the Apple ecosystem it encourages developers to commit exclusively to Apple and neglect other platforms. This is clearly a good outcome for Apple, but it's a bad outcome for developers wanting to engage as many people as possible. Certainly not because the author's company has an alternative
