Windows 10 users will be able to dive into mixed reality starting next year, with an update planned that can let any “mainstream” Windows 10 PC run the Windows Holographic shell the company first revealed in January 2015. Jem available separately

So Windows 10 2017 edition will have applications that are indented to function in both Desktop and TabletHologram mode? I'm certain that won't cause any problems with applications not working optimally in either mode.

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?

For the first time, using a model of a black hole that traps sound instead of light, scientists have seen spontaneous evidence of what comes out of them. You had me at, "Aaaaah! Tabletop black holes! Our tables are DOOMED!"
Or perhaps just turned.

Given that sonic "black holes" are a non-relativistic phenomenon, this would seem to imply that Hawking radiation occurs even (only?) in a non-relativistic environment. A relativistic environment would appear to give different results:
- The energy required to create a virtual pair of particles may only be borrowed for a time shorter than h/E, where h is Planck's constant and E is the total energy of the particles.
- During this time, the particles cannot travel more than a distance of hc/E, where c is the speed of light.
- In order to escape the black hole, the "surviving" particle will experience a gravitational red shift, which will change the spectrum of the emitted radiation.
- The gravitational red shift will be greater for particles closer to the event horizon, i.e. for the more energetic particles.
The above points appear to imply that if the radiation from a real black hole is "black body" radiation, the radiation from the sonic "black hole" will not be "black body".
Any physicists are welcome to correct me. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

A mysterious hacker or hackers going by the name “The Shadow Brokers” claims to have hacked a group linked to the NSA and dumped a bunch of its hacking tools Who hacks the hackers?
It's unclear if they held their little finger to the side of their mouth when requesting that amount

Recent findings indicating the possible discovery of a previously unknown subatomic particle may be evidence of a fifth fundamental force of nature, according to a paper published in the journal Physical Review Letters by theoretical physicists at the University of California, Irvine. It's the force that works to keep you in your bed on Monday morning
"Confirm possible". I might be positive that strikes me as silly.

You could say they Lepton the bandwagon. (I'll get my coat...)

I am glad that this finding has not been falsified and is still actively explored because it might support a theory of mine (for those knowledgable about high energy physics, see here[^]), otherwise it wouldn't see the light of the day .

With my (dated, limited) physics knowledge, that reads like it's dangerously close to being testable. Are you sure you're a modern physicist?

Yeah, you bet! I was. But being testable is indeed an endangered quality these days ...
