Running Android apps on Chrome OS is kind of a big deal because it solves the big problem with Chrome OS—lack of high quality apps—while also solving the big problem with Android, that it is not suitable for laptop-like devices with keyboards and pointing devices. Oh, yes. Finally be able to run all those Android apps. Yay?

Microsoft is re-positioning .NET to be a platform that can be written anywhere and run anywhere, which is a departure from it’s long history of proprietary technologies. "You will meet the future, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present."
|
|
|
|
|
But it needs to be re-written! I'm ready for the next framework! Bring it on!
|
|
|
|
|
Ah - write once, run anywhere.
Where have I heard that before?

Microsoft's Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL smartphones have been on the market less than six months, but Microsoft is practically giving them away. If you wait long enough, they might start putting them in boxes of cereal
|
|
|
|
|
Bother.
I bought a Lumia 950XL last month 
Sotto voce - it is an absolute cracker...
|
|
|
|

well I guess one of the two is priced close to its actual market value now...
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?

Cereal box inserts must past a 'stuff test'... a board with a hole bored in it of a predefined size is used - if the insert can be 'stuffed' through the hole, the insert is rejected.
Essentially... could a person swallow this and have it lodge in their throat?
So... iPhone 5C is not available for an insert; iPhone 6P, however, is.

Are you suggesting someone might choke while accidently swallowing a Lumia? I'd like to know the chain of events leading to that mishap
|
|
|
|
|
You know that somewhere there is a sign warning against placing Lumias in cereal boxes.

First there was fingerprint identification, then came brainprints, now researchers have developed a new form of biometrics using the buzz generated when sound passes through a skull. Won't the echo cause problems with some people?

Unfortunately it will be just vulnerable as the existing passwords. One bad knock on the head on your passwords are gone!

It was bad enough when criminals would cut off people's hands to bypass fingerprint identification.
For gods' sake no one suggest genital scanning.

Computers have a funny, uneasy relationship to decimal numbers. Or just use approximation fractions for everything (22/7 is 'close enough', right?)

In the future, numbers won't be multiplied; just left as a series of equations. The answer would be displayed to you, but you'll save the equation as a string and then reparse it as an equation when you need to use it with something else.
