Quote: Smart lock can be hacked 'in seconds'
... with a fireaxe?
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?
--Zachris Topelius
Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

So when you come back from a bicycle tour on a very rainy day and the finger print sensor can't read your fingers, you can still get into your home by using your phone. Smart. 
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

Microsoft has given its infamous Office ribbon a much simpler, much less cluttered look as part of its interface redesign for Office.com and Office 365 applications. No sense making those functions visibly available

I guess I blame Microsoft for societies ills. They started the whole "everyone gets a ribbon" movement. That also reminds me, its time to pull out the smoker with some BBQ sauce and get my rib on.

Microsoft explains how it decides whether a vulnerability will be patched swiftly or left for a version update. Q1: Has it affected a VP or other manager at Microsoft?
Q2: Has anyone noticed it yet?

After Intel nabbed Raja Koduri last year from AMD, where he led Radeon development, it was only a matter of time until it entered the high-end GPU arena. And then in 2021, they'll gut it and put it on the main CPU again

And it will still run at a tenth the speed of everyone else.

During the last Build conference, Microsoft has announced the next version of Visual Studio with C# 7.3 support. This is yet another minor language update with some quite interesting features. The main change was related to generics, starting from C# 7.3 there 3 more constraints: unmanaged, System.Enum and System.Delegate. Unmanaged generics. That sounds like it's sharp on both ends.

X-ray vision has long seemed like a far-fetched sci-fi fantasy, but over the last decade a team led by Professor Dina Katabi from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has continually gotten us closer to seeing through walls. Those funky glasses not needed

A lot of companies are trying to make it easier to use artificial intelligence, but few are making it as simple as Lobe. Because visual programming solutions are always complete and solve the problem perfectly!

Hackers could have snuck malware past several popular third-party Mac security tools thanks to a mistake in how the tools were implementing Apple digital certificate APIs. iTunes makes total sense now

"Pitts found that he could bundle malicious files with legitimate Apple-signed code and effectively make the malware look like it was signed by Apple."
There was no sneaking involved. The thief just says "I'm with him" and security shrugs and says "okay." Once again Apple's API is totally borked, but everyone pretends it's a documentation issue.

Researchers have developed a new system designed to tackle complex objects and workflows on Big Data platforms. I like big data, I cannot lie
But they don't answer the most important question: Elder or Younger? Are we dealing with, "The only certainty is that nothing is certain." or "To name the man is to say all!"

The buzz around NoSQL databases has quieted. Does that mean NoSQL usage is waning, or that NoSQL has become such a part of the IT landscape that we almost don't notice it anymore? All the DBAs I know really care about 'cool'

The article could be comfortably reduced to the following:

It might be either or both, I don't actually know.
