I remember Sony laptops came all out, pre-installed with a rootkit. These companies just care about one thing: profit.

... And if you didn't have a sony laptop, all you had to do was insert a sony movie DVD, to get the same great service.

Today at Build 2017, Microsoft unveiled many cool new technologies, but there was one particular announcement that truly touched the hearts of many in attendance. Called "Emma," it is a wrist wearable that can help people suffering with Parkinson's disease.
Simply amazing.

Well it's not the only treatment for Parkinsons that no one has a clue why it works; but the risk of complications of that seems likely to be a few orders of magnitude lower than implanting[^] an electrode generating a sin wave at IIRC a few hundred hertz in your brain.
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?

Fer feck's sake.
If they don't know how it works, they should either find out or bury the fecker.
Either that or wait for the lawsuits to pile up, when people start dying of strokes.

This project (which at the time was called “Project Florence”) first turned into DocumentDB, Azure’s NoSQL database service, which launched in 2015 and is now morphing into Cosmos DB. Because data wants to be stored as JSON graphs?

No data is born relational
Then the data is meaningless. Data only has meaning in relationship to other data. A better statement would be:
Data is born with the potential of unknown relationships.
That is what the power of a NoSQL and Graph DB is all about, putting data into relationship with things that you didn't anticipate.

Data exist, understandings emerge (from relationships or aggregation functions or MapReduce)
I guess NoSQL and Graph DB and so on allow us to delay the modelling rather than constraining the data by the up front designed model.

Having played with MongoDB and dynamic relationship building, it is easier, but you still need some kind of metadata to inform the application of new relationships, but that often involves more metadata that describes the semantics so that relationships can be created automatically based on the meaning of the data. So it really just pushes the problem around.
The truly lazy programmer simply implement the relationships in code.  Which defeats the whole purpose, IMO. Oh, but wait, it's coded in scripted languages, so the argument can be made that the business logic is easily modified even at runtime.
Contrast that with the truly skilled programmer that will either modify the SQL schema on the fly or code the relationships in metadata such that the relationships can be discovered in the schema (whether directly in the SQL schema or in some schema-metadata, either still using SQL or NoSQL) and the program can adapt dynamically without changing the code.

Researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have recently developed a system that aims to bridge the two techniques: C-LEARN, which allows noncoders to teach robots a range of tasks simply by providing some information about how objects are typically manipulated and then showing the robot a single demo of the task. And that's how little robots are made

Anyone with a color printer knows that selling replacement ink cartridges is the quickest way to become a millionaire. But what if your printer never needed a single drop of ink to produce color images at impossibly high resolutions? Instead, it's the paper that costs a fortune

No Laser Printer in the history of Laser Printers has ever used a drop of ink.
They use toner.

Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella said Wednesday tech developers have a responsibility to prevent a dystopian "1984" future as the US technology titan unveiled a fresh initiative to bring artificial intelligence into the mainstream.

"Hello? Hello? Anybody home? Think, McFly, think..." We're already past 1984 in many regards, Satya. Step down from your high cloud (no pun intended).
