When it comes to companies in a near-monopolistic position who don't do what I think is the right thing to do, yes, I do not have much of an imagination.
What it boils down to is occasionally my cynicism fails to overcome my idealism. Realism is somewhere in the middle of the two, but closer to the side of cynicism.

It’s been 18 years since the members of “The Agile Alliance” wrote this manifesto. "Everyone's a critic"
|
|
|
|
|
It entirely misses the point that because X does Y, doesn't mean that if everyone who does Y will become X.
Successful developers tend to have a forehead, but somehow they left that off their manifesto.

Amazon’s fulfillment centers are the engine of the company — massive warehouses where workers track, pack, sort, and shuffle each order before sending it on its way to the buyer’s door. "The beatings will continue until morale improves"

The report claims more than 70% of the entire attacks Kaspersky Lab caught are targeting “Microsoft office,” amongst which only 14% take advantage of browser issues. Very Believable Announcement
Seeing as how they practically train people to "drop your document security to zero" to get macros to work (at least at one of my work sites), it's not overly surprising.
|
|
|
|
|
That could be interpreted to be that Kaspersky does a terrible job at catching any other attacks.

So armed with a trusty regex, I set out to find all the interesting ASCII Art used in source code comments. I'll know it's art when I see it?

NASA, FEMA, and other national and international agencies are once again gearing up for a hypothetical asteroid impact preparedness scenario. Oh, they *say* it's a simulation. I'm ducking anyway.

Are they sending a simulated drilling crew up to the simulated asteroid?

You linked to an unrelated article on CORS.
Mondays! /Garfield
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?

Dang. Fixed, and thank you.
The CORS article was probably more interesting anyway.

Maybe, it was heavier reading material than I was in the mood for first thing on a Monday though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Microsoft finally raises its minimum storage requirements to 32GB for the Windows 10 May 2109 Update. 16GB ought to be enough for everyone

Storage space, not available memory. And you'll need a bit more, since next to an OS, you'll also want to install some apps. Now, before you think you're safe with a 64 Gb SSD, think again - It will be full in less than two years.
