On the other hand... Only one in 10 IT security policies makes sense to employees 
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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Only one in 10 - That is like 50% in binary !

After introducing the possibility to control a Windows 10 PC with your eyes last year, it seems that Microsoft is working on something truly mind-blowing. A new Microsoft patent titled “Changing an application state using neurological data” describes a solution for controlling apps with your mind, no eyes or gestures needed. That's strange. I installed it, and my computer blew up.

Hmmmm,
That gives me an idea... we could develop a neural-control interface and link it to the presidents big button... that way he doesn't need to push it... he can just 'think it'.

I don't know, i think some people would rather make certain gestures at their computer, than let it know what they are actually thinking. Besides this will just be used to read peoples minds and try to sell them stuff. I'm sure they say it "won't" just like google home and amazon echo aren't listening to your every conversation until you say the magic word. I've already heard stories about these things. No thanks. I think the next greatest invention should be something that keeps peoples information private, everything today is about finding out every detail about your life so they can predict what to sell you next.

These days we take applications for granted to run our businesses and organise and entertain us in our personal lives. But which are the programming languages that enable our digital world – and how are they progressing over time? "Or art thou base, common and popular?"

That's a rather strange article as it doesn't really seem to assess anything whatsoever let alone the rise and fall of programming languages.
In the same spirit, here's my bit of homework providing a detailed assessment of the rise and fall of British monarchs:
Elizabeth I was pretty cool. Henry VIII was interesting - lots of wives. No-one really remembers George II, though, do they?. Well, at least I don't. Queen Victoria stuck around for a while and has a fair few fans and nowadays gives her name to the pub in Eastenders. Dame Maggie Smith is a very good actress and has probably played the odd monarch in her time (see random link to IMDB to show my sources). I've never really been sure how to pronounce Boudicca so I won't mention her. Elizabeth II has been around for yonks but Shakespeare is yet to write a play about her (see link to Wiki page on Shakespeare so the other link doesn't look too lonely). All in all, there have been quite a few kings and queens of Britain over the centuries when you come to think of it. Is that enough words yet? Invoice enclosed.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

MacRumors spotted a bug report that affects the current version of macOS High Sierra. In System Preferences, you can unlock the App Store preference pane by typing any password. Apple has reportedly already fixed the bug in beta versions of the next macOS High Sierra update. But think how cool you’ll look while being unsecure

I suppose this makes them safe against Spectre since nobody will bother

According to data released by NetMarketShare back in September 2017, about six percent of the market at the time comprised machines running Windows 8.1. But for those who are still using the OS, it may be time to reconsider this position since Windows 8.1 has just exited mainstream support as of January 9, 2018. Windows 7 makes a great upgrade
Yeah, also unsupported. Oh, well.
