I'm sure they have an entire department made up of fairies and unicorns that create and fix the hardware products. The software fixes are done by pirates. They send out an iPatch. What do you expected? its pirates software.

Filtering sites across the web is effective at keeping employees on task and reducing security risks for companies. But how much time does web filtering save organisations? Because of all the time spent trying to get around it?

Is that ZDNet article "work-related web content"? Or should I ask my employer to filter it away?

The Windows UI Library (or WinUI for short) is a new way to get and use Fluent controls and styles for building Windows 10 UWP apps: via NuGet packages. Are you Fluent in Windows?

Microsoft: We have this awesome new technology
Developer: Cool, how do I use it?
Microsoft: First, create a solution for a UWP app... hey, where did you go? Hello?

Now they just need to backport it to Win7, and implement not-sandbox-mode and it can serve as a solid upgrade/replacement for WPF.

The blockchain is in the middle of a major hype cycle at the moment, and that makes it hard for many people to take it seriously, but if you look at the core digital ledger technology, there is tremendous potential to change the way we think about trust in business.

Tesla boss Elon Musk has reached an agreement with a Colorado potter who accused the billionaire of using his farting unicorn without permission. With that headline, I *had* to read the article

I didn't read it, only the headline is already good enough...

DNS rebinding attacks are when an attacker tricks a user's browser or device into binding to a malicious DNS server and then make the device access unintended domains. That's OK, no one relies on any IoT devices, do they?

Google Translate is moonlighting as a deranged oracle—and experts say it’s likely because of the spooky nature of neural networks. "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"
Which apparently translates to "For example, please contact us" in Swahili.

Gotta love what passes for quality reporting from The Verge.
The Verge: DuckDuckGo also highlights that Google currently owns the “duck.com” domain name, and it has since at least 2011.
in an article that quoted a tweet linking to this page, which states that:
On2.com:
Google acquired On2 Technologies and its video products and technology in February 2010.
The On2 products Flix Pro, Flix Standard, Flix Exporter, Flix PowerPlayers, Flix Live, Flix DirectShow SDK, Flix Publisher and Flix Engine are no longer for sale.
Please note that On2 was previously called the Duck Corporation. So if you typed Duck.com, you are redirected to On2.com:
- If you meant to visit ducks.com, click here. Note that it redirects to Bass Pro Shops.
- If you meant to visit the search engine DuckDuckGo, click here.
- If you want to learn more about ducks on Wikipedia, click here.
Which coincidentally is where duck.com redirects to. And given that ducks.com is IMO at least as plausible source of a mistype to duck.com as duckduckgo.com Google serving that disambiguation landing page is perfectly reasonable.

To be clear, duck.com was registered before google.com and duckduckgo.com, but is somehow part of a plot against the latter company, which chose a long URL which could easily be shortened. The complaint is not all that it's quacked up to be.

Why does Chrysler exist?
More seriously, Mr. Norman reminds me of the manager who chants slogans and in the end says nothing. His criticism is interesting, perhaps even valid, but in the end, his main suggestion is to keep doing what we're already doing.
