Personally I want their new $5,000 display. Pity I won't be able to afford the extra $1,000 for the stand to go with it.
This seems the height of hubris.

Not the USD6K cheese grater[^]?
That they plan on selling the $1K stand separately adds that last bit of  to the announcement.

OMG, it's like the designers were asked to come up with the most ludicrous design possible.
(The price is even more absurd. They are literally marking the price up by over 500%! This is taking iSuckers to new levels.)

The hidden gestures I find the most annoying.
like when they introduced the hard and soft push control. Great if you know how hard you need to press.
When win 8 came out, or more annoying Server 2008, the 1 pixel corner menus which was just annoying if you had in a vm.
Show possible actions first, not through tutorical, then let users hide them to use the "advanced" activators.
Example: Windows taskbar does not have Auto hide on by default. But lets users choose when to enable.

Google’s Project Zero managed to find a memory corruption flaw in Notepad which allows a specially malformed file to subvert the app into offering remote shell access – usually the first step to exfiltrating a system. I'm glad someone found a use for Notepad
And that's notepad.exe, not Notepad++. Big fan of the latter.

With more than a year of scandals and data breach from Facebook, the company leaves no stone unturned to prove itself right and follow ethics washing. Well, that settles that, doesn't 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?

Microsoft continues to be non-committal on the topic of server-side WCF. After giving the impression that server-side WCF is a dead technology, a Microsoft employee quickly stated patience is needed while not actually contradicting the earlier announcement. Is it too much to hope for that they put a stake in it?
Grumble-grumble. Remoting was better. grumble, ASP.NET Web Services was easier. grumble-grumble. SOAP-SOAP. grumble.
there. done.

In a new project I just recently started I decided to stick with good ol' ASP.NET Web Services. It is simpler, straightforward and just works. It is working like a champ!
I can't even spell WFC.. FWC... CFW... whatever that other one is!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I had to google that (Cheers! it's my kind of site!), but FMS isn't in there!
As soon as I find the submission link, it will be; it's certainly a common enough expression in Rightpond.
(FMB is in there, but it's erroneous; it's FmoB, where the "o" is "old".)

Hehe, I googled "FMS Sideways", showed up as the first result 
So it's not some new framework

So it does!
But if you use the site's search bar, it doesn't find it.
But that doesn't mean that there's some good in google; I used the startpage.com search engine.

I worked with WCF on a project several years ago. It was one of the biggest nightmares I've ever encountered (and never did work quite right.)
