Tired of losing ground to the iPad, Microsoft is poised to serve up its own entry in the suddenly booming tablet market. After signaling for months that it would attack the market only through its traditional hardware partners, Microsoft has decided to enter the tablet business more directly. Say hello to Microsoft Windows RT Slate 2012 Tablet Edition CTP beta...

From the oogachaka baby to Nyan Cat, the graphics interchange format, better known as the GIF, has come a long way since the days of floppy discs. The modern-day GIF was introduced to the world 25 years ago today by Steve Wilhite as a more versatile alternative to the JPEG, according to Alexander “Sandy” Trevor, the former chief technical officer of CompuServe. Happy birthday GIF!

The Retina MacBook is the least repairable laptop we’ve ever taken apart. The design pattern has serious consequences not only for consumers and the environment, but also for the tech industry as a whole. Think different... about repair, reuse and recycling.

You may feel like technology is amazing and it's moving so very fast and it surely is. But as a diabetic who relies on technology to stay alive as along as I possibly can, it feels like nothing has changed in 20 years. Maybe something will happen in just 5 more. Twenty years and no significant moves. This is innovation?

Your link is broken (I'm getting a 404).

Pssst: the document linked to is
14145094.cm
the correct document is:
14145094.cms

That fixes it. Is ".cms" common, or is it just something you happened to know? I don't think I've seen it in URLs before (though, if it's related to a content management system I guess it makes sense...)

Not sure, to be honest. Though as you point out, it would appear to be sensible.
While the temptation is there, I won't lie - it never occurred to me. I did try to hack the url for a couple of minutes but gave up in disgust.
I merely searched Google for "economic times Microsoft's Hotmail revamped as 'Newmail' to take on rival Gmail"

Ah. I'm not that motivated (because MS changing Hotmail again isn't that exciting...and I though it was Windows Live Mail or something now...too hard to keep up with MS changing the names of things ).

Personally I am very much looking forward to it. Hopefully can run all my windows apps on it (eventually). Current tablets are pretty much useless to me because they do not run windows apps.

The new Windows 8 ARM tablets won't run Windows applications, but you can buy one of this Windows 7 tablets while they are still being produced.

Well that is a good thing to know. I don't see much point to going to windows tablet without being able to use my windows applications

Top 5 lists are super-good link bait, so I’ll make my own sad one. In no particular order, and not stopping at 5, here are a few of the ways MySQL makes my life miserable. What’s your favourite - eh, least favourite - feature of MySQL?

Well I just learned a few things.

In general, passwords are rarely leaked, because they usually aren’t stored. What is usually leaked are the password hashes. Here's how passwords really work. Salted hashes... add bacon and you've really got something.

Yeah. Lets ask LinkedIn if passwords are visible!

Wouldn’t it be cool if you never had to remember another password again? A computer could authenticate you based on how you type your user name without ever requiring you to type a password. To continue our series of posts about personal analytics, I want to show you how you can do a detailed analysis of your own typing style just by using Mathematica! Tiptoe through the typos.
