Gosh, YouTube was really bad looking in 2009. On the other hand, now that its design is not so ugly anymore, it's overload with JavaScript-fanciness.

Yes, it was a killing but it was euthanasia. Actually, I think they put it out of our misery.

Yes, this is good because it was one of google's first major misinformation campaigns against anyone who didn't want to use google products -- chrome, in this instance.
Since then, they've used similar misinformation campaigns for numerous things, like internet privacy, their absolute right to publish other people's material without paying royalties, etc.
It's nice to see that such a small company, that had such a small start as a provider of information on the Internet, managed to turn things around and become such a great giant at stealing personal information and producing misinformation.

For the last several months, we've been talking about an internal project ongoing at Microsoft, codenamed "Windows Lite" which is a new version of Windows powered by Windows Core OS and built from the ground up as a modern platform for new devices. Because Windows 10 was, "The Last Version of Windows"?
I'm not entirely sure that the acronym 'FFU' is their best choice.

Better than "Flash Update Core Kernel" yes, obscenely ugly.
|
|

|

Built from the ground up? Nothing like that is build from the ground up these days; it's more illusion than reality. Like in, roll the dice and you get a new result, but the dice are still the same.

How about just "Windows Without Cortana"? Or is that fat shaming?

Sources close to the developments hopes that the Malware will be able to break into a computer system, working as a deterrent against cyberattacks. I'm sure that won't go wrong at all (for at least 20 minutes)

Google is introducing a new feature for your Google account that will allow you to automatically delete your Location History and Web and App Activity data after a set period of time. And I'm _sure_ it won't exist in their copy either

And by delete, we mean you won't be able to see it.

Microsoft has vowed to put an end to lengthy and confusing privacy controls and "give customers increased transparency and control over their data." Short version: We're watching
And "The future is private". I wonder how Zuck kept a straight face when saying that.

They inject a local anesthetic into his cheeks so he couldn't smile if he wanted to for at least two hours.

This sounds like they'd originally planned to announce something substantive; but after scheduling an announcement ran into the fundamental problem that human understandable policies and policies that provide legal coverage for what a company is actually doing are mutually incompatible.
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?

It just shows that you can't beat an objective-oriented file-transfer protocol.

We’re excited to announce Cray ClusterStor in Azure, a dedicated solution to accelerate data processing of the most complex HPC jobs running in Azure. Just in case you want to say that, "My code runs on a Cray"

I used a Cray about a generation ago to do someheavy duty engineering calulations. Performance wasamazing at te time, but I'm not so sure my dersktop I-7 is that much worse and certtainly more affordable.

I was working at Shell Oil and they had a contract with Boing Computer Services to provide Cray access for our reservoir simulation work. I was assigned TO EVALUATE THE FEASIBILITY OF developing AND producing a potential OFFSHORE gULF OF mEXICO oil field, iT WAS TOP PRIORITY AND i reported directly TO THE board of directors, NOT TO my NORMAL BOSS. aS A RESULT I HAD ACCESS TO ALL THE RESOURCES NEEDED TO DO THE JOB, whether my boss likedfit or not
One day I got a call from aBCS rep who asked if I was running a large simulation, I said yes and he said that the output I generated filled all of their print buffers and effectively shut down the cluster. Next year I went to a trade show and as I walked by the BCS booth a guy jumps out grabs my arm and pulls me into the booth and says to all his assoociates "I want you to meet the guy who shut down our system. Seems that it was a condition they had never anticipated. I ended up getting all the output transferred to microfilm so I could analyze the results and do my engineering. Shell won the bid on that field, developed a platform and I think it is probably still producing now,some 30 years later.

When users of the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge use Google Docs, the service is stating that the browser is not supported. As the new Microsoft Edge uses the same HTML engine as Chrome and is clearly supported, some users feel that Google is playing unfairly. That's because it's missing all the important ad-distributing code
|

|

Shouldn't that read, "That's because it's missing the all important ad-distributing code" ?

My irony meter broke over the company that releases software in public with a beta tag for years is blocking someone else's beta product.

Then they shelve the product one month after the beta tag is removed.
