I found a typo in the title. It should be "Microsoft trying to screw Windows 7 users".

C++ continues to be an important programming language in general and the only systems programming language of any consequence on the Windows platform. Almost twenty years on, still trying to figure out how to jam .NET and C++ together really hard

Food, water, shelter, artificial intelligence? If the predictions of Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff prove to be true, the latter will one day become a new human right. It seems like actual intelligence is still missing in some circles

Who would know better than the guy who runs a social network for salesmen?
Give him a couple of hours, and you'll just give in and agree that no-one knows better about anything at all.

In some... really? Stupidity and non sense is spreading like a virus.

 did I actually read that correctly?

will "Artificial intelligence will become the next new human right"?
No.
will Artificial intelligence become a required human tool to which all should have access to directly or indirectly via middle services such as higher speed transportation is vastly accessible (public transport) but not a human right to "own" a car.

Sapienz and SapFix are automated tools that Facebook now uses to find and fix problems across all of the company’s apps "This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been due to human error."

I thought they were called Scapio and GoatFix.

Digital cameras have been used to reconstruct rough images of hidden objects just by analysing light that bounces off a wall. Or you could ... you know, go around the corner?

We use mirrors for that; very low electricity-usage and real-time feedback.

Hmmmm. You've just given me some food for thought.
From memory, lasers that are above a certain limit of power can do funky things to the air they travel in. Wonder if you could aim a stupid powerful one at a mirror and have the altered air damage the surface, at which point you could reduce power and go-for-gold. Yep, looks like a winner - Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy seems to rely on the phenomenon I was thinking of - namely the ability to create a super-heated plasma from the air by laser-pumping.
Hitting the surface of a laptop-drive with an HV source (think taser) is fun. It leaves the surface rough to the touch since the glass fractures from the tremendous localised heat.

...or a mirror?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Growing up, my little sister would invite us to play "The Lava Game." Only my sister knew where the lava was at any given time and by extremely deep strategy and tactics and just good game play, it was never where she was. I challenge an AI to beat that game.
