Called RacerD, it’s a system that examines code for nasty issues known as race conditions and helps identify how to prevent them. "Go Speed Racer, Go!"
Nothing to do with the story, it just put that song in my head.

For years, scientists have wondered if dark, crater-like features on the lunar surface might be entrances to giant caverns carved long ago by flowing lava. However, it remains a harsh mistress
I love how Philadelphia is now the international unit of city size.

Instead of prisoners of one sort or another, we should send all of the politicians to establish the first lunar colony.
Then we would have ample supplies of fertilizer for the tunnel farms.

I would add that anyone with a net worth of over $100 million and all executives of every single private bank on the planet e.g. Federal Reserve) should also be put on that shuttle to the moon. Finally the shuttle should be sabotaged so there is a 50/50 chance it will malfunction (i.e. disintegrate) on the trip to the moon. Finally, both Trump and his side-kick H.Clinton should be designated pilots of the shuttle.

With all the things Azure can do, it’s hard to know where to start answering these important questions. But there’s a really easy way to explore the potential of Azure completely free and at your own pace: by creating a free Azure account. Something, something, "first hit", something.

The St. Regis Mohawk Tribe has filed patent lawsuits against Amazon and Microsoft, using patents it acquired from a company called SRC Labs. I was unaware the Mohawk were that big in processor design

I read the first patent cited and I seriously doubt that Microsoft infringes on it in any way. In fact, I can't think of any current microprocessor company that does.

The Beatles were much better (but what do today's kids know?  )
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I don't like the Beatles - I prefer The Who and Led Zeppelin - but Shatner could make real art of any song. ANY song.

Researchers at the University of Washington have found a way to track a person’s location and app use through serving ads on mobile apps. The result opens the door for significant privacy invasions through the app-based advertising system. Product idea: adblocker for smartphones
I'm sure they're out there already? If I had one, I might be interested in actually looking.

There's Adblock browser, but that doesn't help with in-app spyware. 
I'm not aware of anything phonewide, and suspect the OS security models would preclude an app getting that level of access unless you rooted it. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

I use Adguard 2.7 on my S7 and my development pc machine at home. It's a VPN app that scans and blocks ads. I've been using it for several months now with few issues. The only thing that I have found is that some websites don't display properly, but other than that, it's been great. As for it spying on me, I haven't found any evidence of it, but who knows.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.
