Do we know for sure that this article was written by Patrick Thibodeau[^] and not by a robot?

Wait! How do we know YOU'RE not a robot?

Honestly... if management wants to give my job to a robot and they can find a robot willing to do it - the robot is welcome to it.

machines will be make sense of data faster than humans can."
And hopefully they'll write better English.
BTW: Humans Need Not Apply[^]
A bit hyper, but a good watch.
I predict that the word "organic" will take on new meaning. Drone-free farming. Papers graded by professors, not machines (and certainly not interns!) "Made by humans." The government will enforce product labeling "made by real human hands" and "made by a robot."
And while the roads will become safer with drone cars, no machine can ever replace the NYC taxi experience. Nor would I want one to, even the bad experiences. So that probably means that taxis will still have a "taxi-driver" but as a passenger, and you pay extra for the Taxi Driver Wisdom[^].

Microsoft will radically revamp which Windows updates customers receive starting with Windows 10, a move analysts said was the biggest-ever change in the firm's update practices. Goldilocks will be pleased

Down with id10t's running unpatched software. Kill their internet connections dead.
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?

I think this is potentially a good move. But could be a support nightmare for ISVs.

PHP vs. Node, SQL vs. NoSQL, compiled vs. scripting -- the passionate debates and technical rifts that define programming today "We've always been at war with Eastasia"

No debate for me - just use the right tool for the job

"My software never has bugs. It just develops random features."

OK, here's my attempt in my best Internetese:
No! You're absolutely wrong (wrong, wrong)!!!oneone1!!! You MUST use the programming language|development environment|whatever that I have invested my interest into, or the Nazis win.
Or something like that.

Which of the many right tools?

When Microsoft encourages its engineers to think outside the box, the results aren't always dead-ends like the Kin. In fact, the company's research division is now showing off an amazing thin transparent film called FlexSense that can sense deformations and allow us to interact with tablets and eReaders in fascinating new ways. I'm obviously not the target market for this

I think the target market may be indicated by this "discourse" in the comments:
fangbanger: "What kind of other shapes can it adopt ?"
Andrew Liszewski: "Umm, round, cylindrical, curled, tubular, etc."
fangbanger: "I mean the concept, can they do a boob shaped sheet of plastic ? You know, for scientific research, of course..."
I guess it could be used to help train for "mammary checks".

What happens when you give an Android Wear smartwatch to a 16-year-old with a bit too much time on his hands? You get Windows 95 on your wrist.
Soon to be available for the Apple Watch? (Through Google Play for the utmost irony.)
|
|
|
|
|
 Why?
(I would guess 'Why Not?')
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

See? Those smartwatches are actually so 1990ies, as practically proven by this hack.
