They don't give any details in that article. The patent is for a predictive algorithm used in out-of-order schedulers. They also sued Intel several years ago for the same patent.

Just too late for Ada Lovelace day, but a very interesting read nonetheless.

Attackers are exploiting a previously unknown vulnerability in fully patched versions of Adobe's Flash Player so they can surreptitiously install malware on end users' computers, security researchers warned Tuesday. Do you still need more reasons why you should disable Flash?

The latest preview release of Windows 10 includes the first glimpse of a new feature designed to eliminate one specific activation headache. When this change rolls out to the general public next month, you'll be able to use your Windows 7 or 8.1 product key to complete a Windows 10 upgrade. We could all use a few less hassles in life.

Once again, BlackBerry CEO John Chen, the man brought into save the long-foundering mobile company, has said he's willing to kill BlackBerry's smartphone business. He's been saying that publicly for nearly a year, effectively letting customers know to go elsewhere.
Maybe the idea was to get customers to show their commitment to BlackBerry devices; if so that strategy has backfired -- BlackBerry device sales continue to decline to trivial numbers (now fewer than 3.5 million a year, or what Apple sells in five days), despite a series of new models of every conceivable design in the last two years. Do you agree? Have any CPians actually bought a new BB device recently?

I recently bought a Blackberry Passport to replace my old Blackberry Curve. The new Passport is amazing, it's much more powerful and easier to use than my wife's Android or my son's iPhone (he is dumping the iPhone and plans to get a Passport). I love it.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Of all the investment fads and manias over the past few decades, none have been as big of a fizzle as the craze for nanotech stocks. Nanotechnology never had its Facebook, its multibillion dollar blockbuster IPO that made clear how a new technology is changing the world.

The “Named Colors” section of the CSS Color Module Level 4—the latest specification for color values and properties within the Cascading Style Sheets language—are 141 standard colors. Where do such abstract names come from, and why are they a part of something as methodical as writing code?

The evolution of accessible radio standards over the last 25 years has led to a plethora of ways to pass information collected at a large number of data-gathering devices (sensors, cameras, microphones) to the cloud, and send commands back from the cloud to act on the information. The evolution of the Internet of Things is still in progress.

One of Europe’s largest publishers, Axel Springer, has stepped up its efforts to protect online advertising revenues by banning readers who use ad blockers from accessing its Bild tabloid website. Bild will now ask visitors to turn off their ad blocker or pay a monthly subscription fee of €2.99

Who wants to read their crap in the first place? People don't need ad blockers for their site, they need text blockers. It's an insult to every browser to render that content.

Demand for software engineering talent has become so acute, some of the best-known denizens of Silicon Valley have contributed to a venture fund that promises to turn out qualified software engineers in two years rather than the typical four-year university program. Heck why train them all. That's two years faster!
