Several Group Policies will be deactivated with the Anniversary Update, making it harder for IT-pros and system admins to prevent unwanted content. Windows 10: the gift that just keeps on giving
This newsletter would be so much smaller without Win10

Even for those upgraded for free it should be unacceptable, but what Microsoft have to say about those going actually pay for it?
Maybe (and it is a big maybe) Microsoft will make big money out of those adverts, but will lose a lot of in numbers...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I've been a Microsoft fan since around 1982, but this is the end of the road, not just for me, but for almost everyone I know.
My I.T. friends have either completely switched to Linux now, or like me, they are running side-by-side and starting to transition away from Microsoft.
What happened to MS? Did their management get rabies? Seriously. They seem to hate their customers as much as they hate their employees. What's next, are they going to throw chairs at us?
As I've said before, you WILL NOT put an application in my home or work that displays an advertisement. I said GOOD DAY SIR.

Desktop development environments for Mac and Windows use native virtualization for speed and boost Docker's out-of-the-box cluster management and scheduling system There, now non-Linux folk can try to figure out how it's different from VMs

It was happening on the network itself, using a complex new attack designed to attract as little attention as possible while reaching extremely far. Was it, "Always bet on black?"

Like a whirlpool, a new light-based communication tool carries data in a swift, circular motion. The optics advancement could become a central component of next generation computers designed to handle society's growing demand for information sharing. It may also be a salve to those fretting over the predicted end of Moore's Law. "You know you twist so fine"

Well, I suppose it's a logic step. First, we had mechanical gears turning, implementing a sort of "memory." Then we had magnetic drums and platters spinning in circles. Getting light to move in a continually circular (or I guess in the case, vortex) pattern is, well reasonable, I guess.
OK, I have no idea what I'm talking about.

It's OK, Marc, no one else knows what you are talking about either.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I think it's talking about using (modulation of) circular polarization[^] to encode data mixed with 1 part hype and 9 parts cluelessness. 
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?

Shortly after The Washington Post inadvertently published a photo of seven TSA master keys, a group of security experts were able to copy their designs and release their 3D models online. Well, that was a great idea (Security, you ain't got it)

See? One person screws up once and the entire system is hosed now and forever. And they want a master key to my encrypted devices (which have a heck of a lot more important stuff than my luggage)?
They can elephant right off.

Oracle says Java EE 8 will be equipped for cloud deployments, microservices, containers, and multitenancy, but Java advocates want to see the fine print "Oh, promises, their kind of promises, can just destroy a life"

The company is sharing some pretty interesting facts and statistics on its official @Windows Twitter account to entice users to upgrade to Windows 10. The list does not include the number of swear words directed at the upgrade offer dialogs
|
|
|
|
|
Most interesting statistic:
Only 3 lawsuits filed for forced upgrade
|
|
|
|
|
Very amusing.
"Shall I file a lawsuit and spend a fortune and months of my time fighting the 3,000-lawyer-strong legal team of one of the biggest corporations in the world, or shall I just format the drive and reinstall a decent operating system?"
Try not to look too fanbois.

I like that they basically reinvented that stupid widget from some version of Office that was not much of a success, but now call it Cortana. So the average number or questions for Cortana is less than ten if there are 350 million PCs with Windows 10. Sounds like a flop to me.

So Windows 10 is good for games and web surfing! I can't see a single mention of writing code, or doing any kind of productive work with Windows 10...

I do all my productive work on Windows 7. Partly consisting of web-based games for Windows 10!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

"Cortana has answered more than 6 billion questions on Windows 10"
Four billion of which were "Will you get out of the *u**ing way!"
