With the rate the spammers seem to sign up here, it would probably be more like 572 million.

A comparison of the WinRT APIs between Windows 10 build 16188 (pre fall creators update) and Build 16193 (post fall Creators Update) shows that Microsoft added a large number of APIs to deal with cellular data connectivity, but specifically removed APIs dealing with phone calls, such as call blocking, voice mail, phone line, phone call origin and many more. I'm sure that doesn't mean anything, right?

The race is on for quantum supremacy—the point at which quantum computing will outperform even the best conventional computer. Can you play Doom on it?

hmm...isn't that bringing misfortune, maybe?

Just by accessing a folder containing a malicious SCF file, a user will unwittingly share his computer's login credentials with an attacker via Google Chrome and the SMB protocol. It's always nice when we can spread the blame around, isn't it?

As cybersecurity experts scramble to stop another wave of ransomware and malware scams that have infected computers around the world, computer science experts are 'phishing' for reasons why these types of attacks are so successful. "Participants could not detect the real emails with any degree of confidence."
|
|
|
|
|
Because information that helps them avoid detection is so readily available online. Duh.

So their advice is "don't open e-mails unless you're sure you know where they come from"?
Well, I'm glad someone finally thought of that! I've been wracking my brain for a solution!

Computer scientists from Saarland University and Google are giving wrinkles, knuckles and birthmarks a whole new meaning. Similarly to temporary tattoos for children, the researchers are placing ultra-thin, electronic tattoos on distinctive body locations. The user can touch, squeeze or pull them, and thereby intuitively control mobile devices such as a music player, or easily make indicators light up. Press the heart tattoo to phone Mom?

It is that sort of technology then?

I like things that make my indicators light up, don't you?

The latest version of Android incorporates more machine learning, faster performance and better notifications. "Fluid Experiences" and "Vitals". Sounds like they crossed it with Game of Thrones

Reports show that the new ‘Adylkuzz’ attacks are on a scale that “could dwarf” the WannaCry attack, and use the infected computers to mine virtual currency. Jokes on them: I don't have any currency anywhere

This is really good news, because the ms-of-latter-years has proven itself to be so good at doing everything right.
I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

Google.ai will serve as a center of Google’s AI efforts — including research, tools and applied AI. "Pichai alluded to AutoML and a future where neural nets can create new neural nets on their own." This is how it begins

Digital "miners" run specially configured computers to solve the problems and generate currency, whose value ultimate fluctuates according to market demand. Math pays. Who'da thunk? (Seems kind of esoteric to me...)
Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old.
