An MIT researcher claims a laser space beacon detectable up to 20,000 light years away is feasible -- essentially acting as a porch light for extraterrestrial life. Especially those moth aliens
This item is at least in part a test of a prediction by management that, "You could write about martians tomorrow and no one would notice. Well, no one in the US or Canada."

we are not able to manage differences in our own kind... do we really want to invite aliens that are going to be miles away technologically in front of us? 
What could go wrong?

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?

Google's Android operating system officially supports the new form factor, so other products from other manufacturers are likely coming too. I thought Apple had one of those years ago?

According to Apple fanbois, the entire world didn't exist before it was invented by Apple and Steve Jobs.

So we've come full circle back to flip phones?
|
|
|
|

My first cell phone folded in half. It was a flip phone. And isn't this the same as the "secret" Microsoft project?
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, they had a "courier" phone leak a few years back I think. So now they'll be viewed to be coming late to the party with something again.

We will soon be spending more time unfolding our phone than using it. Imagine.

Unfold 4:

Voila! A 26" 1920 x 1080 phone! Though now thickness becomes more of a problem than width & height! And nobody would be able to figure out how to fold it back up!

Microsoft President Brad Smith laid out a frightening scenario in which facial recognition technology, if left unchecked, could totally change the way we live and what privacy people are able to retain, if any. Can I get one of those spiffy red sashes?

Every year or so a "frightening scenario" that must be regulated is laid out by some executive and I always get the feeling that their demands for regulation mean "the other guys, especially upstarts".
The second problem is that they insist policy makers must be educated without grasping that governments will be more than happy to claim exclusive rights to whatever boogy-tech is in question. (Of course, the higher execs are lining up to get the contracts, and the Brads won't even get bonuses.)

China is home to the world’s largest network of CCTV cameras — over 170 million — and its police have adopted Google Glass-like ‘smart specs’ to seek out suspects in crowds, but now its surveillance efforts have hit a new level with technology that can apparently identify individuals based on their body shape and the way they walk. The Ministry's work is done

Probably the hardest thing for me is to start writing from scratch. If there is no code already there, it is all too easy to get lost in the details and not actually be able to get anywhere. "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step."

Pfft!
Writer's block, when coding? Just start with the basics:
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID.
DATA DIVISION.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
PROCEDURE DIVISION. ... And it all just falls into place!
