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. In related news: look at all the telemetry data in Win10! Tell everything to Cortana and she'll 'help'!

"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).

Truly bizarre printer error completely changes look and contents of printed PDFs. And fax machines for Skype bugs?

This definitely is in the running for 'Bug of the Year'.

The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

Gee what could go wrong with a turning complete page markup language. 
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?

Microsoft announced that Windows 10 is now on over 500 million devices. It took the company’s latest and greatest operating system about 21 months to hit that milestone. Wasn't that the same number of Yahoo users hacked? Coincidence?

Love the graph[^] on the page, which clearly shows that non-savvy people who were stuffed by machines with windows 8 pre-installed happily accepted the "free winio!" offer.
The fact that the weven indicator is almost a straight line shows that the savvy have upgraded to weven from both the other OSes.

Why Windows must die. For the third time | ZDNet
Edit - particularly egregious: Quote: and the more code that is executed directly on the cloud itself, the more portable, the more lightweight, and more mobile your code is.
<sarcasm>Yes, bandwidth IS faster than your typical phone processor!
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.
While the military are doing their part, it simply isn't enough to make the amount of nukes needed to save those poor stars. - TWI2T3D (Reddit)

Who is this guy? Can he spell "Application" or does he give up after the first three letters? I haven't read such a load of **** since they tried to sell me an iCrap device!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

And once the applications the author uses are in the cloud, he'll write an article about how the cloud is sh*t.

He won't be able to, because typical monthly software licensing fees will total up to more than cable bills, and he'll be broke.

By ignoring Win RT's failure the author's nuking all of his credibility by ignoring that Win10S has the same fatal to consumer adoption that their previous attempt to do this did. The win32 apps that are most heavily installed by consumers aren't in the store. In their place are dozens of paid scamware craplets.
This is the dumpsterfire than Win10s will burn in: https://imgur.com/a/n3HZW[^] (Yes, this is the same gallery I've used to flame Win 10 S[tupid] in the past.)

The best parts of Neon are being brought to the new Opera browser, codenamed Reborn. The fat lady isn't singing yet
|
|

The Opera team used to be great innovators, but "innovation" in computing nowadays has obviously degraded to "including interfaces to facebook, twitter, and other social media web-sites".

After moving to Chromium in Opera 15 it jettisoned a huge number of features from Opera Classic. But it does now have a number of (for me) usability enhancements over Chrome such that it is my second browser, relegating Chrome to third place.
For people who mourned the demise of Opera Classic there is Vivaldi, which is the real Opera Reborn and continues to improve.

Not being fugly is a good start.
Not being an intrusive piece of sh1te only makes things better.Kevin McFarlane wrote: Vivaldi
I liked not having to install a third-party plug-in to use/save sessions, though. That functionality is a major draw, for me.
Holy Cr@p!
I've just noticed that Vivaldi has the Cisco FindIT plug-in!
And it actually works properly! (Unlike in any ms browser).
Cool!
Now I can uninstall chrome altogether!
Thanks for inspiring me to look!

I like investigating what's in the various browsers. In fact, over the years I might have seen something in, say, Opera, and decided that was cool but then sought out an equivalent extension in Firefox. But without Opera being there I might not have thought of that feature.
I do find though that no browser is better than all others in every respect, so I sometimes switch temporarily depending on the task in hand.
