Some day they will come to a really revolutionary idea: detach Surface screen and keyboard from the rest of the device, and attach a mouse. Then people will be able to keep it on their desks.

They will have to come up with a name for such a radically new device. Since it will then sit on a desk, they could call it the "OnDesk". 
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

But I can get an HP Envy 15, with 8GB ram, 1TB storage, i7 for about $850!!!

The Chinese government has officially banned Windows 8 from use on all government computers, reports out of the country claim.
The Xinhua news agency, one of the government's media mouthpieces, reported that the move was designed to improve security on government computers. Yea! Go China!
The chinese government hackers obviously found the back door code in Win8 that let the US government spy on the Chinese government!
[Edit: added link to original story]
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

When you're using Windows 8 that's not even your biggest problem.
And perhaps you could add your source? I tried hacking into your computer for it, but it seems you're not using Windows 8, so it didn't work
It's an OO world.

Stanford researchers find a new way to safely charge tiny devices embedded inside the body. Cyberization, here we come. Is it warm in here, or am I just overcharged?

The article is about medical implants not a direct twitterspam feed to your brain. With periodic surgery (every 5-10 years) to replace batteries the biggest on-going risk factor with current generation medical implants (and why their use is as limited to cases when nothing else will work) not only do I say "YES!", but it can't come soon enough.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It'll be a crazy day when body parts come in different models. I can just see the kids of the future 300 years from now at Christmas... "But mom, so and so got the UltraGrip 3000 cybernetic hand and this one is only a 2000."
And then there's the adult industry...

As Microsoft pushes more and more platforms, databases, and tools to its public cloud, the roles in enterprise IT could change quickly. Someone's going to get rained on. Guess who?

For years, the prospect of an online world that extends beyond computers, phones, and tablets and into wearables, thermostats, and other devices has generated plenty of excitement and activity. But now, some of the brightest tech minds are expressing some doubts about the potential impact on everything from security and privacy to human dignity and social inequality. Because we're so good at securing Things

A talk from Bob Beck from OpenBSD about why they forked OpenSSL.
Slide deck[^] and video of the presentation.[^]. Slide 7 is epically cringeworthy and hasn't been stressed anywhere I've seen, the OpenSSL malloc is an Exploit Mitigation Technique Countermeasure never actually releases anything, has a major attack vulnerability, and does it's WTFs in a way that defeats static analysis tools like Coverity and Valgrind from realizing that anyeverything is fubarred.

Today, .NET framework has a messy dependency graph because every time something new comes along (for e.g. Task) that needs to be "core" it has to be pushed to into a lower assembly. "Now, go do that voodoo, that you do, so well"
Read the implementation post (dated the 19th) as well. I went back and forth about which one to post, but this one explains the rationale better.

Well, Microsoft just got pushed outside my circle then. Amazon is my favorite site / company on the web.
Of course, that doesn't mean I'll stop using Microsoft Windows or developing in C# or not reading the MSDN magazine or ...
But I don't use MS-Office, okay? I use OpenOffice. I'm strong, okay? Okay? Microsoft can't push me around. Probably. Mostly. Unless they reall want to.
