Alphabet became the most valuable publicly-traded company in the world — coming in at a market cap $558 billion after jumping about 8% after the company reported its fourth-quarter earnings, and passing Apple, which sits at a market cap of $535 billion. O I C U F $$$

It's a numbers game. I see Apple overtaking Alphabet once the markets pick up (not to take anything away from Messrs. Page and Brin).

IF the market picks up.
The tablet market is saturated, and the phone market seems to be leveling out as well. Apples sales in china is growing, but only marginally. There's no momentum.
But as you say, it's a numbers game. We'll see.

He could have just learned to play guitar.

Over the course of the last couple of days I've dug around in the various repositories of the dotnet organisation on GitHub, and what I'm seeing there is very exciting. And I'm not just talking about running on Linux. Write once, debug everywhere returns!

And not just the to be expected platform debugging. A whole slew of .NET Native specific requirements on top of that. Was excited about .NET Native. Read the requirements and limitations. Won't touch.

Regulators in the United Kingdom on Monday approved a request from scientists to use the emerging CRISPR gene editing tool to perform experiments on human embryos. I think I saw this movie - it doesn't end well
Yeah, yeah. No implanting. Nothing really to worry about they say. What about The Blob? Or that Trapper Keeper incident?

I'm pretty sure the Blob was from outer space. It landed on a meteorite.
The difficult we do right away...

Isolation (2005) - IMDb[^]
One of the worst movies EVER! About a genetically modified cow embryo killing people
How it got such a high score and even won prizes is beyond me
Maybe I'm confusing it with another movie about a genetically modified cow embryo killing people... Nah

In a new paper, physicists have proposed that the shortest physically meaningful length of time may actually be several orders of magnitude longer than the Planck time. "Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time"

For years now, the FBI has been warning legislators and CEOs about criminals "going dark" through encryption — and the responsibility of companies like Apple and Google to stop it from happening. I guess they need better IT people
|
|
|
|
|
Of course they aren't; they're smarter than that. The use of encryption draws attention to oneself. Just as wearing sunglasses and a trench coat and pulling a fedora down low will draw attention.

IE and Edge lose more users as defections to Chrome continue. You do have to run it at least once
|
|
|
|
|
I'll be honest, I have Chrome, FF, and Edge and still prefer FF. Sure Chrome does have some more addons, but I my FF version has everything I need and seems more robust and user friendly.
|
|
|
|
|
I still use FF because uses useless RAM than Chrome even if Chrome better in other way.
But will use Chrome for other uses the FF cant
