I'm waiting for the QR code with a "Jesus" or "Virgin Mary" image.

I'm surprised it hasn't already happened. There was a salt lamp with JC on it around here about a month ago.

Either I'm not using the hardware the cool kids are using, or I completely fail to understand why QR codes are ever used. My iPhone doesn't support them out of the box. My Mum would have no way in hell of trying to use a QR code to go to a webpage. Can they please just go away?
It's 2016. Why can't we just have the phone's camera automatically detect URLs in the picture, highlight them, and let us tap the highlighted URL in order to take us to the site?
cheers

Because for many of them, detecting and decoding a QR code is the most sensible option.
To try to decode text requires consideration of the following:
a) round-trips to home base with all of your images or slow search and decode times
b) an application that has limited font support or one which is quite large
QR does away with all of those limitations. A great solution? Nah. The least imperfect? I can't think of anything better off-hand.

The human desire for knowledge and discovery has spurred us on to some pretty amazing achievements, although it’s also motivated us to do a whole load of dumb stuff too. You know you want to read it...

Actually curiosity already killed us all.
Now we are all in the after life... living! With no memory that we already died!

Without looking at the article, I must ask... are we all plebeian cats?
I mean obviously our pet cats are the nobility of the species. We take care of their every need, sometimes they attack us, other times they seem pretty daft, they can be affectionate when we have something that interests them(food mostly).

Thats not a mass problem. A lot of people arent too curios

Diagrams of software architecture have a certain aesthetic appeal to them. Don't they always match the UML the project manager created?
I suddenly became nostalgic for my old flowchart stencil. Wow! They're still selling them...

Microsoft Research, its Developer Experience team and its Applications and Services Group are all building out pieces of the company's evolving bot platform. Here's what's under the hood. It looks like you're working on a conversational assistant. Would you like help with that?

Microsoft and University of Washington (UW) researchers have demonstrated the ability to use synthetic DNA as a form of archival storage for data. Hopefully you'll have another backup after someone puts all your data in their tea

Interesting... are they going to give life to the characters / people described on their own data? Or will that only happen when the data centers are consumed by Neural Networks?

Yes, bring back Clippy the Paper-clip

Look into vendors software supply chain, check the maturity of their software lifecycle programs. But... it's open! "More eyes, etc.", right?

According to Microsoft's new Windows 10 business roadmap, new enhancements to Continuum, Passport authentication, file-level encryption and more are 'in development' and possibly coming soon. Because nothing says "business" like, "Passport authentication"

I stopped reading after the second "sentence". Tech people really shouldn't be allowed to publish articles, without an editor sending it back and calling them an idiot at least once.

It is freakin' broke. Upgrade it.
The last friend who said that turned out to have a small bestiary of malware on their PC, including a bot that presumably was busy spamming or otherwise attacking the rest of us.
