Loose ships lip sink!
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Tech, more than any other industry, has succeeded in convincing us over the past two decades that workers are entirely disposable. Reduce, reuse, recycle?

After what seems like years of rumors and speculation, the oft hit-or-miss publication The Information is now reporting from several sources close to the matter that Google is gearing up to launch their own wireless service later this year.

Java vulnerabilities were down in 2014, but spam made a big comeback as the security arms race continues, according to Cisco's 2015 Annual Security Report. Maybe they just don't know which week's version of Java to target?

At Microsoft’s Windows 10 event, the company unveiled a new VR experience for the platform, calling it the “next step” of computing. "This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope."

If that turns out as good as it looks in the video (and I have serious doubts about that, but here's hoping) that could actually truly revolutionize the user interface experience. And that would be really impressive.

It makes a great stage demo. Beyond that, I'm more than a little skeptical. _They_ have been pushing VR and AR for decades now. Not enough gravol in the world.

It's the end of an era... kinda. Microsoft unveiled the Windows 10 Consumer Preview in Redmond today, and with it, a new browser, codenamed Spartan. This replaces Internet Explorer as the default Windows browser, and represents the future of Microsoft's browser development. This. Is. The. Web.

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?

Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I didn't think Microsoft had a future with regards to browsers.

Microsoft today lifted the veil on its upcoming Windows 10 operating system, offering a thorough preview of what consumers can expect when the software is released later this year across desktops, smartphones, and tablets. A Start Menu? Where'd they get that silly idea?

WHAT?!? I want my damn Start Screen! Do you know how much productivity I'll lose going back to a measly, tiny menu??!? How dare they change their Operating System!

Quote: To start off, Microsoft has already leveraged early tester feedback to improve Windows 10. If you're familiar with and prefer the Windows 8.1 experience, you'll be able to take the Start Screen full screen instead of the Windows 7-style start menu we saw in September.
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?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

In the world of mainstream Web browsers, Microsoft stands alone. Apple's Safari browser is a closed source shell wrapped around an open source rendering engine, WebKit. Google's Chrome browser is a closed source fork of an open source shell wrapped around an open source rendering engine, Blink. Opera, too, puts its own shell around the Blink engine. Mozilla's Firefox is entirely open source. "Moulded by the dead brain of a hybrid nightmare, would not such a vaporous terror constitute in all loathsome truth the exquisitely, the shriekingly unnamable?"
