Ruby & RoR can't fall fast enough for me. And yes, I have a very honed ax to grind regarding Ruby.

Ruby-on-rails in particular always struck me as exemplary of bad design principles. It surfaced the DB design to become the domain model, and really was reminiscent of the badness of 4GL development. Probably fine as long as your app just involved CRUD-based forms, as soon as your app leaves that model you're in for a world of pain.

Microsoft has confirmed that it will continue to offer its graphics program Paint. It's an essential service after all
See, now there's a decent headline writer. Hats off to the BeeB.

You would be surprised what can be achieved with paint and a bit of patience...

Billionaire business icon Elon Musk — of Tesla, SpaceX and more fame — just fired back at Mark Zuckerberg over his grasp of the future of AI, claiming that the Facebook CEO’s “understanding of the subject is limited.” CEO fight! Grab the popcorn.

As if Elon really knows what the future will bring.  He may have a greater grasp on current AI, but he has no idea (and neither does anyone else) what the future will bring.

*Cognitive AI is working on this answer right now and should know exactly what the future will bring by later this evening.
Of course, by that time it will have to recalculate the future, but soon enough there will be no reason for the future because it will already be mapped out completely. 
*Please recognize my use of the new AI buzzword. I learned it from the Microsoft ads displayed on CP.

No, no. Obviously, you don't understand this advanced technology.
The Quantum computer I recently built is running Cognitive AI right now.
I just successfully generated the entire set of prime numbers with it. They are infinite or I'd reprint them here for you.

Here's what I think of that[^]

I floated over the link and I saw it was an MP3.
I don't click links but I'm guessing it is the sound of a raspberry ( Blowing a raspberry - Wikipedia[^] )

No. It's a famous quote from the movie "Oscar". It's Oscar's take on something Dr. Poole said.

Yes, that one.  It's a great movie! It's a sadly overlooked, underrated movie and comedy. I think Stallone deserves at least a nomination for that one.

I have always thought the same thing. It's so funny. Stallone is great in that role. Just such a fun movie.

Why do people think they understand "I".
Quite apart from the currently available resources to create / simulate something like AI.
Artificial yes, but intelligence at the Moment? No
[Edit]
Just a thought experiment:
Let us feed a AI program with all the knowledge, lets say before the "steam time" (more inovating would be to feed "only" with Kepler's laws)
Best case, more a case one should expect *) -if inteligence can be simulated- would be it would present us all the knowledge we have now.
I would state: No chance at the moment for AI at the moment.
*) In case AI really would work we should see a result which is something like "future" [Edit,Edit]which would end in a recursive Explosion to "produce" knowledge[/Edit,Edit]
Only some crazy thoughts
