Microsoft is still intending to bring its unified Microsoft Search technology to Windows 10, but not until the end of this calendar year. They're still trying to find it
I thought they had a unified search?

At last count, they had three unified searches -- but if cursor shadows are on and there's green in your desktop wallpaper, two of them don't work.
The way they do it, unified is just "unidentified", without teeth.

After making the announcement that Microsoft was planning to retire several of their very popular certifications on June 30 of this year, Microsoft has confirmed that the planned retirement of their Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer (MCSD), Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE) and Microsoft Certified Solutions Associated (MCSA) certifications were being put on hold. Oh good, I'm still certifiable (for a while)

It's no problem, anyway. when they're "retired", you can just go to a different section.
I think it's Section Eight.

"A new study" shows this?
More like "every single study ever carried out on the subject".
But of course all the studies reach the same conclusions. Writing a few scripts to connect the dots that lead to the keyhole in your bedroom door doesn't take a huge team of highly-trained rocket surgeons.
The EU privacy laws need to cover intent, not just formalities and leaks.

NASA’s Voyager 2 probe flew through a blob of charged gas called a plasmoid decades ago, and scientists only just now realized it. Pardon me
You may say I'm juvenile (and that I'm mispronouncing the planet's name), but I'm not the only one.
I hope some day you'll join us, and the world will be as #2.

But Venus is #2, so yours would be a #7 dream.
Anyway, never mind all that astronomological stuff, we need to focus on getting things right on Earth: start knocking down walls and building bridges until we can all have a happy Christmas because war is over.

Farnsworth: I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.
Fry: Oh. What's it called now?
Farnsworth: Urectum.

Urectum is the name of the body that slammed into Uranus!

Not as much of an effect as the 16,837,684 "partners" and data-processing companies that your personal data gets sent to, every time you open a web page. It's bigger than e-mail, bigger than youtube, and, yes, it's even bigger than funny cat videos.

Reflecting a wider workplace trend, more software engineers are replacing their traditional desks with standing desks, walking desks or adjustable desks in hopes of becoming healthier—or at least more comfortable throughout the day. It turns out they are also becoming more productive. "Stand and deliver!"
Personally, I'm much twitchier when I'm working at my standing desk, compared with when I'm seated.

Well, it's perfectly clear that you can't code a cloud-based AI without a standing desk, preferably with a built-in cup-holder for decaf mocha frappuccino and a mounting-plate for alexa.

Can we skip the rest of it and go strait to the jar of Whiskey?
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?
