Researchers say tens of thousands of sites are using JavaScript libraries that are years old and contain publicly known vulnerabilities. "Other kings said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em!"

Sadly, the article doesn't say that js is unsafe, but that old js is unsafe -- and you can say that about just about anything (or anyone)(me in particular, if you call me old!)

Playable Ads are a completely new way for end users to interact with ads and apps. With this capability, end users never leave the current app. Oh, it's just what I've always wanted. How thoughtful of a gift.

Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old.

The first app they rolled out with it proved unpopular, though -- mind you, windows 10 was already unpopular, even before they turned it into a playable app.

Once again proving that naming things is one of the most difficult challenges in computer science. Using streaming to try an app without having to install it is a really neat idea. Sticking the word 'ad' on it will result in 99% of the potential userbase viewing it as pure cancer.
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?

Chemical computers are becoming ever more of a reality. It turns out that after an appropriate teaching procedure even a relatively simple chemical system can perform non-trivial operations. Wake me up when there's a C# compiler for that chemical computer
Or even VB.

Yet another computer that will break if you spill coffee onto it.
... Or it might work better; who knows?

In a string of attacks that have escalated over the past 48 hours, hackers are actively exploiting a critical vulnerability that allows them to take almost complete control of Web servers used by banks, government agencies, and large Internet companies. "Sometimes they'll want to leave her"
