Less than two months after the big “One Microsoft” reorganization plan was announced, more units are starting to learn how the high-level changes will affect their operations. I think the deck chairs would look better on the starboard side, don't you think?

Microsoft is making the 'gold' Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 bits available to developers and volume licensees ahead of the October 18 general-availability date, after all. Everyone surprised, raise your mouse

Can you imagine if someone actually tried to market tripe? "The other, other white meat"?

Spiegel is reporting that it has seen "top secret NSA documents" that detail the NSA's ability to gather information from most smartphones, including iPhones, Android, and and BlackBerry phones. How to keep things secret. Rule 1: never talk with anyone.

Do programs exist in order to tell computers what to do, or do computers exist in order to execute programs? "Crazy? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?"

Twitter is great for real-time news and updates, but searching through your history for tweets on a specific topic — that's much less efficient, even with hashtags. With more than 450 million tweets created every day, finding one from, say, 2007 may be harder (and more painful) than finding a piece of hay in a stack of needles. Find all those important milestones: What did I have for lunch on July 23, 2010?

Apple has been a modern marvel. Starting with the revolutionary iPod, the company’s former chief executive officer Steve Jobs spearheaded an attack on the established order in consumer electronic devices. And this was an industry ripe for disruption. When the state of the art is the Sony Walkman, you know there’s real opportunity to change the game. Oh wait, this article is the one

Whaaaaa? Auntie keeps stuff away from you lot (who pay for it)? I've gotten used to seeing those kind of blocks in Canada, but I never expected they'd block their own. Sorry about that.
