Back in July, Microsoft published its biannual list of features that will be deprecated or removed in the next feature update to Windows 10. On the deprecated list was Paint, the beloved app that has been a staple of Windows since the beginning. Did they misplace the source code to this as well?

Paint should just be implemented in the CPU. We'll still be using it 100 years from now, copy/paste/cropping cute looking rocks on Mars.

Here are three lessons we can all learn from Microsoft during the 1980’s. "To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!"

The last few years have been difficult for the jQuery UI and jQuery Mobile projects. The projects have suffered from lack of resources and funding and loss of contributors due to a variety of factors. "Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded."

They need to update their website. Doing a View Source:
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<p class="chromeframe">You are using an outdated browser. <a href="http://browsehappy.com/">Upgrade your browser today</a> or <a href="http://www.google.com/chromeframe/?redirect=true">install Google Chrome Frame</a> to better experience this site.</p>
<![endif]-->
Chrome Frame? I had to look that one up.
If you have Chrome Frame installed, please uninstall it. It is no longer supported or updated.
There's a point to all this, but it eludes me. 
[edit]Oh yeah, I was wondering if the website actually used jquery-ui itself. Appears so, at least there's a CSS class reference to it.[/edit]

One feature of Amazon Music allows users to upload their own MP3 files from other sources, but that service is shutting down over the next year or so. According to a help page on Amazon's website, the company will end its Amazon Music Storage subscription service in January 2019. An official date hasn't been released, but once the storage service ends, users won't be able to play or download MP3s they previously uploaded.
This feature (combined with such mp3s not counting against my general purpose storage quota) was the main reason I signed up for Amazon's cloud backup service years ago.
With it going away they'll be losing my custom. 
The only question is if Google or Microsoft's current offerings suck less. All things equal, it'll probably be Google getting my money since they've never gone on a campaign to destroy good will like MS did when slashing one drive quotas a few years ago. 
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?

It’s hard to measure programming languages’ popularity but we all love rankings and sometimes even choose our “weapon of choice” depending on how desired a language is. What does that have to do with health? Let’s find out. Because I know you all love 'language popularity' stories

Machine learning computer systems, which get better with experience, are poised to transform the economy much as steam engines and electricity have in the past. They can outperform people in a number of tasks, though they are unlikely to replace people in all jobs. "Fore I'll let your steam drill beat me down I'm gonna hammer myself to death"

Also in the area of fake news.. god knows if 10 years down the line you wake up and you don't find any robots on the streets and you still have to work to eat !!! quite a disappointment.

But today the company announced a significant change of strategy that would start with changing its name to "Long Blockchain Corporation."

Researchers have designed a memory device based on atomically thin semiconductors and demonstrated that, in addition to exhibiting a good performance in general, the memory can also be fully erased with light, without any electrical assistance. All my work was done, you made the mistake of exposing it to light and it was erased
