According to a new industry report from IDC out this morning, smartwatch shipments experienced “significant” declines in the third quarter, as total shipments were down 51.6 percent from the same time last year. From "zero" to negative?

It's techcrunch I'm sure the editor had make it quite clear to his writers that he wants nothing but clickbait.
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?

New research shows that the part of the brain that is activated during dishonesty responds less and less as we “get used” to cheating — and that could make us lie even more. Honestly?

Microsoft is working on a quantum computer that uses what are called “non-abelian anyons,” a quasiparticle that physicists aren’t sure even exist. So it runs Windows 10?

The best feature of the quasiparticle computer is that you can throw it through two windows simultaneously.

Bartneck said that given the quality of the review process and the steep registration fee, he was “reasonably certain that this is a money-making conference with little to no commitment to science.
And a Microsoft Developer Conference is different how?
