The specifications of McLaren/Goldfinger though are less important than what it does, which is 3D Touch. While Samsung tried with the Galaxy S4 to use the front-facing camera as a motion detector, it was obviously a hack and a gimmick. The notion of real non-touching gesture support requires dedicated, specific hardware. I think I know what I want for my new 'disconnect' gesture to be

Can a company that's seen as a technology dinosaur re-establish itself as a powerful and profitable leader on the cutting edge? It has happened before, and if Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella wants a primer on how it's done, he need only look at Microsoft's onetime partner IBM. clueless (adjective): having no knowledge, understanding, or ability.

tl;dr Microsoft needs to abandon both hardware and software and become a services company.
Oh yeah, and Nadella's smartest move as CEO so far was selling Nokia Android phones.

Imagine if your kitchen scales could advise you about nutrition or if your lavatory could tell you to see a doctor. The Internet of Things is making these ideas possible, but at what price? As long as they have a power switch, we might still win

It's easy to test for things like coding chops or editing ability. It's much harder to discern whether a potential hire would be a good fit at a company, which is why HubSpot has spent years developing some Jedi-level interview tactics that help it hire right. "Games people play, you take it or you leave it"

An employer should not be afraid to hire someone smarter than themselves. This interview technique will do it.

If you are going to use Google's services, then you also by definition have to accept that you are going to reside within that ecosystem and Google has the right to manage it and manipulate it as they see fit, in order to maximize revenue. It's Google's world. We just live in it.

Tony Patton lists reasons why proposing a code rewrite might make sense, though he warns that building a new system is risky. "We can rebuild it. Better than before."

Oh let's start our re-write. Gimme the requirements for our existing application!

And do not forget either: imagine you created the "new" product, and want to update a customer: you'll need some custom data-conversion tools for migrating old data. In .Net 1.1, there was no generic List<SomeType>, but you had to deal with e.g. StringCollection. Change it, break it.

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?

In an official Microsoft blog post late last month, it was revealed that the Redmond giant had already begun development on the next version of Internet Explorer - currently known as Internet Explorer 12 (IE12). Microsoft outlined some of these new features and indicated that they were in development, as part of Microsoft's commitment of delivering interoperable implementations for the latest features on the modern Web. As long as the advertisements aren't part of the UI

According to the Adobe Digital Index (ADI), a measurement of browser usage based on tracking visits to the average U.S. website, Google's desktop and mobile browsers -- Chrome on both platforms, the aging Android browser on the latter only -- slipped past Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE), which retained its premier position on the desktop but had little to show for its effort on smartphones. Unfortunately, that includes Android, so the browser is still broken

Tests performed today at the Royal Society in London have resulted in a computer convincing a human for the first time ever that it is also a living human. This means it is now the first ever standalone computer program to pass the infamous Turing Test. The bad news is that it's got the mind of a 13 year old boy
(Or man, depending on if the program has had it's Bar Mitzvah yet)

The comedian used 13 minutes of his Sunday program to convince viewers to reach out to the Federal Communications Commission about open Internet rules. They responded and crashed the FCC servers." [^]
“I'm an artist: it's self evident that word implies looking for something all the time without ever finding it in full. It is the opposite of saying : ‘I know all about it. I've already found it.’
As far as I'm concerned, the word means: ‘I am looking. I am hunting for it. I am deeply involved.’” Vincent Van Gogh
