Cloud: computer, ethernet port, ethernet cable connecting to Internet.
How can that be hard?
The cloud is a fuzzy term but Intel is referring generally to an architecture in which applications are virtualized, or running in software containers, and can be set up and pulled down with high levels of automation.
Ah. And I need this why? I think that's the hard part.

They all start out with an OO language like Ruby, Java, or Python, and eventually end up switching to something more "scalable".
I'm laughing too hard to reply coherently.

The most common question is why is only C++ being made optional. Don't think of yourself as "optional", think, "super-secret special"
Just don't expect an apology (or change, from reading this)

With just four days left before launch, Windows 10’s policy of automatic updates has run into its first major problem and it is causing many PCs to stop working correctly. Gosh. No one could have foreseen that.

Yes, although I didn't expect it to be so soon! Maybe the Home version auto-update is a cunning ploy to get everyone to upgrade to Pro?

As a gamer I find this particularly unsettling. Nvidia (and to a lesser extend AMD) regularly release game day driver updates to improve performance/fix bugs in new games shader code; for anyone playing AAA games at release these new drivers are generally a must have update. For the rest of us, nVidia at least is reasonably good about getting WHQL driver updates out every month or two; but AMD recently went 9(!!!) months without a WHQL driver update.
OTOH if the clash between the W10 and NV updates was only due to the version number WHQL thought it had being mangled; and the default behavior being not to replace newer beta drivers with older WHQL ones this might not be a long term issue.
On the gripping hand, if all previously optional updates are going to be mandatory instead of just drivers (and since a lot of crashes are due to driver bugs I can see why MS would want to change this) a lot more people are going to have problems. I have absolutely no desire for useless crap Bing Desktop (or WTE it's called this month), Bing Toolbar, Skype, (I could not use it even if I wanted because I don't have mic on my PC), WTE they're calling outlook express this month (I have real Outlook TYVM). In the case of Silverblight have expunged it from my system entirely as a security risk; the only browser plugin I have is Flash and that only under duress.

If you're looking for a reason to upgrade to Windows 10 next week -- or whenever the upgrade appears for you -- how about the fact that it is the most secure version of Windows ever released? Stop me if you've heard this one before...

Here[^], most recently in May. The 8.1 infection rate was 3-4x lower than the 8.0 rate and 4-5x lower than the 7 infection rate. It's higher still if you compare 8.1-64 to prior x86 versions. The most heavily exploited bug in the report was patched in 2010; which is why, despite all the friction it's causing making patches mandatory is the right move for MS to make in W10.

Google's mobile OS has come to 'permeate the fabric of our society,' Oracle says. I think there's a different reason that "Java platform 'has suffered more than ever.'"
|

Right so Oracle is trying to prove that everything good Google has done with Android goes back to Oracle's greatness and everything bad that has happened to Java has occurred because of Google's evil.
What?!
Uh, maybe Java has taken a beating because no one really likes browser plugins, plus Oracle has failed to make those plugins as safe as they should be. (Definitely!)
And, it is possible that the open-ness that Google committed to with Android has made it extremely successfuly.
Summary: Oracle, you jealous little child.

NASA’s Kepler Space telescope science team has just announced the discovery of the most Earth-like planet ever. Meet Kepler 452-b, the very first apparently rocky planet that definitively orbits a sun-like star in the habitable zone. Uhm, I think we know of one a little bit more Earth-like
