An unusual new idea in neuroscience suggests that our consciousness is derived from a field of electromagnetic waves given off by neurons as they fire. "Pass the dutchie 'pon the left hand side"

Whahaha 
Yes, that's how our brain percieves reality.

Great; so we need to prepare for robots with depression and anxiety issue's.

The move comes in response to increasing interest from consumers and central banks in digital currencies, and it will allow PayPal users to buy, hold, and sell cryptocurrencies within PayPal. They're expanding (further) into the money laundering market?

Introducing Microsoft Edge preview builds for Linux - Microsoft Edge Blog[^]

It doesn't "yet" support signing into Edge using a Microsoft Account.
That's quite an interesting thought, isn't it. Your Microsoft Account could extend to Linux, even if it's just for browser stuff.
But what if you could log into a Linux machine using your Microsoft Account. Could be interesting how that could be leveraged down the line.
Y'know, Microsoft really should get on an buy Canonical (and/or SUSE when EQT is finished with them).

For as many Linux VMs as are currently hosted in Azure, I'm surprised that hasn't been done years ago.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

Hehehe... before IBM bought Red Hat I thought Microsoft should buy them. Not because Microsoft needed them for cloud market penetration as IBM did but simply to stop competitors like IBM getting them, and (very importantly) to tightly integrate the entire Microsoft ecosystem with the leading corporate Linux.
Well, they didn't listen to my advice but Canonical and SUSE are still out there.... 
If MS's purchase of GitHub is anything to go buy, a MS purchase of Canonical would not do any harm at all. No, really. I mean it. Stop looking at me like that!

Of course... as if they never had pushed something without giving any information in advance or asking the user...
But no worry... they are working really hard in the fix.
The fixed version will ask "Do you want it now? Or yesterday?" and have a new icon for the dialog box.
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
