A new study suggests that naturally occurring chemicals in cocoa can reverse age-related memory decline in healthy adults. For only 25 chocolate bars a day...

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.

Google has just quietly launched a rather nifty new feature: free international calling to 25 different countries through Hangouts/Gmail/Google+. HiGrandmaHowAreYouThat'sGreatSendMoneyOKLoveYouBye

At one place I worked in the late 90s we had some remote equipment that we needed to communicate with and we found that we could connect it to a cellular MODEM then connect, send instructions, get status, and hangup in less than a minute. And calls less than a minute were free.  Much cheaper than running networking infrastructure.

Very lovely workaround (they should have bonussed you with the money saved  )

For the rest of 2014, the first minute of most calls to 25 countries are free,
Idiotic marketing gimmick, but I'm sure it'll bring droves over to Google's services.

I have a question for you.
What is it?
I'll call you back to ask...

OneGet isn't exactly new, it was first detailed back in April of this year but at that time, it was an optional feature for Windows 8.1 and could be installed with the Windows Management Framework 5.0 Preview. The important bit of news here is that OneGet will come with all Windows 10 installs, meaning that developers can now make use of this functionality as they know every new install will have this feature. sudo apt-get FINAL-freaking-LY!

And in 10 years when the share of W10+ computers is finally large enough to convince the penny pinching PHBs that instead of a universal conventional installer that works on all boxes they should make a OneGet package that works on all PCs (because we can't waste money doing more than one installer); they'll bundle eleventy-seven pieces of crapware in with it and because package management is supposed to be entirely auto-magic they'll remove the step where you can opt out prior to installing them.
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?
