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?

Why?
It's a new organization that may affect our industry. That it's founded by Google alone should make it significant to our readers. i.e. It's news, and this is a news forum.
I could have posted a technical news site posting about the organization (and in fact that's what I was originally going to do), but many people complain about the accuracy of many of the technical news sites. So I decided to post the original content instead.

So are thousand others.

Yes, if it says "Google" then it must be important. --edit-- ..and apparently Google isn't funding them very well, otherwise there would not be any begging for funds --edit--

Good point 
..and a nice example on how to defuse a thread. It is a lot easier to comment on the news then to go out and find it. When I do have something new, I rather post in the lounge than here - assuming that you repost it in the news section if it is considered, well, news.

Reduced of it's market/prspeak bloatage it just says "we do awesome stuff for hard problems; and want to work on yours" with absolutely no technical detail on the page.

Microsoft is busy preparing a "Windows Technical Preview" for later this month, but the software maker is also privately testing an "Office Technical Preview" for the next version of its popular Office suite. "Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results."

A new black theme was the number one request for Microsoft Office
 Yet again proof that most people don't think like me. I imagine those people are still using monochrome (not even orange) CRT's.
At least it's an option.

It's not every day we get to sit in on a discussion between three of the luminaries of language design:
* Bjarne Stroustrup (designer of C++)
* Carl Hewitt (invented the Actor model and futures)
* Dave Ungar (designed the Self language, which pioneered the VM techniques that allow .NET, Java and V8 to run so fast, and introduced Prototype-based inheritance).

Enjoy!

There is some really good stuff in here - thanks. Especially agree with Carl Hewitt's assertion about how languages are going to have to change to deal with the 100+ core world.

I got the link two days ago on Twitter (I'm following Channel 9 there) and found it a great talk.
I found fascinating how the philosophical way of thinking of Hewitt and the strict practical Stroustrup can co-exist if we drop in the modest Ungar...

Although both Bjarne and Carl seemed a bit shocked when he talked about sacrificing reliability. Fascinating stuff.

I suppose this means that despite all its hype, in reality Cortana sucks at speech recognition.

My experience with Cortana has actually been very good - but I guess they haven't thought of applying it at Channel 9.
Of course it may struggle with multiple speakers.

For years, people have cried out that "Microsoft is Dead!" Obviously, Redmond believes it. What else explains stupid moves like buying Minecraft and supporting the cloud fad? It's about self-confidence—Microsoft has none. "The fear of death is worse than death"

Dvorak was last relevant before the internet made his monthly PcMag "column" with about 20 one paragraph rumors irrelevant because anyone who cared read them a month or two ago from somewhere like The Register.

Given that he seems to lack knowledge of the unfortunate fact that people within organisations are always trying to prove themselves by promoting ideas they're not smart enough to run with, I'd hazard a guess that the writer has never had a proper job.
