Recently moved. Saw the townhouse, was practically perfect. Apparently it has a ferritic stainless steel fridge. Non-magnetic. Didn't know that steel isn't always steel. Mental check, take a magnet with me next time I'm looking at houses.

In 2015, Microsoft launched an interesting new service that let users share their Office documents and Sway presentations with the public. Today, the company announced that it’s retiring Docs.com. "Will you recognize me? Call my name or walk on by?"

This week, the head of the Federal Communications Commission and a Republican US senator each called net neutrality a "slogan" that solves no real problems, with the senator also arguing that the Internet should have paid fast lanes.

A team of researchers from Germany and the UK (RWTH Aachen University and Microsoft Research) have figured out how to give artificial intelligence a boost toward learning games at a faster pace Yeah, all the video game playing was for research. Believe me.

If you want to guarantee your safety from ransomware, then Microsoft points out there’s an even more secure option to consider -- Windows 10 S. In related news: is 10S even shipping yet?

"No known software runs on W10 S"

Only because there's currently no need to write an exploit that sits between breaking out of the browsers security container and installing the malware that subverts the block on installing apps from outside the store yet. Give it a few months for the virus writers to work on it after release; and I suspect the headline will become: "No known malware removal tool works on Windows 10 S"
PS I reported the CSS barfing the layout of my eyeroll table a few months ago. When is it finally going to be fixed?

Shame we don't live in a world where "Windows 10 S" is simply called "Windows 10"
|

Windows 10 S; the "sport" version of Windows 10?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Of course it's 'Sport'.. what other words beginning with 'S' could it possibly be? 
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

A timely article. This is exactly what I'm doing right now.

Microsoft's security team has come across a malware family that uses Intel's Active Management Technology (AMT) Serial-over-LAN (SOL) interface as a file transfer tool. "Obscure Intel CPU Feature" is my new band's name
"The good news is that Intel AMT SOL comes disabled by default on all Intel CPUs, meaning the PC owner or the local systems administrator has to enable this feature by hand." Well, all-righty then. Never mind.

Oh, so another one that only works under a full moon after tossing a Porcupine over your left shoulder and then chant a "Certain word" 4 times ?

Hmmm - a different expansion for SOL than occurred to me.
'PLAN' is NOT one of those four-letter words.

The software giant describes DirectReality as “online computer software for holographic applications” and software as a service. Their answer to Apple's "reality distortion field"?

Close... since DirectX[^] was such a successful multimedia/gaming API and DirectR[^] was taken by Google... the obvious choice was DirectReality!

Even simpler than that. DirectX is the fully library of DirectFOO libraries; but since no one outside of Redmond cares about the versioning of anything other than Direct3d DX# and D3D# are frequently conflated.

Hmmmm,
Yeah... DirectDraw, DirectInput, Direct3D, DirectWrite, DirectMusic, DirectPlay, and DirectSound (and a few more) were all packaged by the guys over in marketing under the label DirectX.
I personally don't think it really matters what the outside world calls these API packages. I think it was a good move to give them a single marketing label of 'DirectX'. It allows software publishers and hardware manufacturers to seek compliance so they could use the single 'DirectX' logo on the product.

Computer security is now everything security - but protocol isn't keeping up with the risks, warns security expert. I'm not getting the analogy here. Is it a manga thing?
