But Microsoft probably will copy it before they cancel it, and do the dirty job for them... Of course, after changing all the icons, so it doesn't look the same

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I'll never forget how disappointed I was when they cancelled Google Desktop. It was great for searching the local file system.

Good Lord!
Washington State University has finally discovered the Threshold Effect!

Someone tell everyone who's known about it for the last two-hundred years, so they can start working with it!

I'll require 42% more resources for that. And plenty of break-time walking through flower-filled meadows surrounded by verdant forests to handle the stress of it all. I'll be able to accomplish it all with 97% greater efficiency and 98% greater happiness.

With this release, which brings the volume of its open data to more than 2 PB (or two million GB), CMS has now provided open access to 100% of its research data recorded in proton-proton collisions in 2010, in line with the collaboration’s data-release policy. Find your own particles!

Object-oriented programming: Some developers love it — but some hate it. "It is dangerous to make predictions, especially in a discipline that changes so rapidly, but one thing I can say with confidence is that I have seen the future, and it is object-oriented."

There seem to be two prevailing views on this:
0) OOP is the way to do absolutely everything.
1) FP is the way to do absolutely everything.
I'm going to propose a "third way":
OOP is best for some projects and FP is best for others.
The "trillion dollar mistake" was not OOP per se but the notion that one size somehow fits all whatever the nature of your application. It's a mistake that many seem to be hell-bent on replicating with FP.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. - Mark Twain

OOP done right is good. The problem is that we have new devs that don't do oop right, and nobody calls them out on it, because "everybody is a winner".

Perhaps because:
- Everyone claims to be doing OOP
- Very few are actually doing OOP
- The few who are doing it, are doing it wrong

As usual, I find myself agreeing with your insights; may I propose one more point:
4. There is no consensus about how to do OOP right because there was never a rigorous definition of what OOP is.

It's more than hating on OOP, it's also hating on basic programming concepts. To paraphrase, those who know, do, those who don't, write articles and bitch about those who know.

Several Battlebots videos were taken down in the least few days, with YouTube citing animal cruelty policies. People for the Ethical Treatment of extreme Robots (PETR) strikes again!
I guess their AI was really taking it personally

It's just attention seeking (probably sponsored by Robot Wars, or similar).
If they truly cared about animal welfare, they'd take down everything to do with every flavour of pokemon.
