In far too many cases more like a waist of lard.

Now I'm really tic'd off. Although, I must hand it to you - really wound up in the zone this time.
(I suppose, if they lost some wait, it would save time - but I'd never post that here).

Some alien has sued NASA for violating its privacy. Now the counterstrike has begun. Google is already sneaking up on them to bombard them with ads and Mickeysoft will force update them to Win10 A.E.

Actually, I was really surprised.
Before the AE update, the touchpad on the (optional) keyboard for the WookieTab was unusable - oversensitive, double registering, useless.
After the AE update (which happened automatically the same day I got the device, took under an hour, and was hassle free) it started working like a charm! Now, it just works, and - for a touchpad - is not half bad.

Always makes me think of the film "Battleship". How, exactly, were they able to get the radio signal to go faster than the speed of light? A deep, dark mystery! 
|
|

|

They used the speed of dark, which is much quicker. Think about it, whenever light gets somewhere, it finds that dark got there first...

So yesterday my work OS install got hosed and needed to be reloaded.    
As part of that process I launched Edge for the one thing it's good for and searched for "Firefox".
At the top of the bing page was an item marked as an ad. Mozilla's official download page.
Immediately below that was a second item marked as an ad. Microsoft's pitch begging users not to stop using edge.
A minute later I repeated the above process searching for "Chrome". I got an equivalent pair of ads.
I'm not sure what's more pathetic: That they resorted to buying ads in Bing to try and retain user share, or that having done so they let Google and Mozilla outbid them for the top slot on the pages.
Edit: Added screenshots of binging for Chrome in 4 browsers[^] The IE11, Edge, and Firefox ones were done via the search box, I didn't care enough to figure out how to Bing directly in Chrome, so I did that one by going to the website first.
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?

I tried with the same search with FF and there's not a single beg, so I believe it's part of Edge and not Bing.
As for the ads, I hate them anywhwere.
