So if the president has a bad night with the missus, the computer will automatically launch all the nukes.

This week, Microsoft released the Windows Upgrade Analytics Service, designed to make it easier to decide whether you can carry out a massive upgrade. "Forewarned is forearmed"
And you know the rest of it.
But they would be handy.

A tool from Microsoft telling you how a Microsoft upgrade will effect Microsoft devices.
Totally unbiased of course.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

"Using Microsoft telemetry data"
So if 450,000 people are struggling and failing to get their printers to work with winio, that counts as 450,000 successful installs.

For the last year or so, Microsoft has backed artificial intelligence as "the most important technology on the planet" and has released various products that make use of AI. New VP, Clippy, was unavailable for comment

Dammit - from Ruby to Objective-C. Damn that Ophiuchus! 
Of course, I think I'd lose either way.

I used to be swift, now I'm java.
So I went from crap to poop.

According to the blend of those two articles, Ophiuchus can't be programmers. I guess someone has to collect the trash.
Cheers,

Do we assume that those born under the sign of Ophiuchus should never be allowed anywhere near code? It seems to be missing from that list.

Their work involves sending secure passwords through the human body itself, using low-frequency transmissions generated by fingerprint sensors on smartphones and other consumer devices. Feels like a login request, or the chili I ate at lunch

Sounds orificial to me 
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Facebook successfully ported its SQL-powered detection tool, osquery, to Windows this week, giving users a free and open source method to monitor networks and diagnose problems. SELECT hackers FROM network
|
|
|
|
|
DELETE hackers FROM network. 
The title had me thinking that Farcebook was providing a tool that detected open source on Windows!

In an act of self-governance, these five companies came together today to announce the launch the new Partnership on AI. "Politics makes strange bedfellows." (and the fear of politicians equally so)

D-Wave, a Canadian company developing the first commercial “quantum computer,” announced its next-generation quantum annealing computer with 2,000 qubits, which is twice as many as its previous generation had. Mo' quantums, mo' better?
|
|
|
|
|
It's worth noting that the claims that D-wave are making are disputed by the leading experts - it's seems to be a case similar cold fusion.
This is a pretty good critique of dwave: http://news.mit.edu/2015/3q-scott-aaronson-google-quantum-computing-paper-1211
