The update will contain new features that will make it easier to shift between devices while you work, according to WinBeta. I thought Windows 10 was "the last version of Windows"?

It all depends on your definition of "last".
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

QuickTime and iTunes are two of the most exposed programs, according to Flexera I think it's because they want to forget they actually installed iTunes for Windows
|
|
|
|
|
The first thing I uninstall after installing Quicktime (which I only do with a gun pointed at me) is the Apple Updater. Because for some reason, Apple believes that "Keeping Quicktime up to date" means the same thing as "Install Safari, ITunes, and any other Apple-branded crapware under the sun"

That's the same reason I haven't had quicktime installed on any of my PCs since the last one I had before installing Vista64 because I needed more ram.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

Developers are business people. The only way the statement in the Agile principles makes sense is to suggest that they’re not. Certainly true, if the question is, "Give us one word that describes Leslie Nielsen."

In other words, business people are declarative while developers are imperative?

Wasn't that the first comment at the bottom of the article?

He's addressing an issue that doesn't exist. The entire article is based on a non sequitur.

Researchers have found that the most secure password you can create is actually a little poem made of random words, which could take millions of years to crack and are also easy to remember. I think that I have never heard a poem as lovely as a password

Interesting article; I wonder how many people will be willing to type in passwords consisting of sixty characters, even if those sixty characters are easy to remember:
Sample password poem generated by the system of Ghazvininejad & Knight, NAACL 2015.

010100010110001111100011100110001111111110010100010011001001
The global village authorized
mistakes protects a criticized . The site that will generate a sample password for you (and promises to erase it forever after they send it to you) displays this message today (Nov. 2):
"Oct 22nd update: Site traffic is high and the processing time will take longer.
Please don't request multiple times. The password will automatically be sent to you in the next few hours.
Approximate waiting time: 437 hours."

What good is a secure password when the crooks just steal the whole database?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

And now you have such a long password, is it really good?
Depends on the other site: there might be a maximum length (quite common), password field lengths at sign-up and "change password" pages may differ (yes, already found such a case), only the first 8 characters are used as password (seen that in a Hospital Information System), the password is stored in plain text in an environment variable of the process (seen in another HIS), ...

I know several assembler and Fortran developers - not sure they'd cope with 1970s hardware though

1970s hardware was simple. You just needed a mechanical card punch. No electronics required.
Admittedly most of my work in that decade was on coding sheets - the only equipment needed was a pencil.
Fortran was my first 'real' language (in joke: the others 'float').
