A group of scientists say they want work toward being able to create a synthetic version of the entire human genetic code in the laboratory. "The study of Nature makes a man at last as remorseless as Nature."
Why not? It always works out pretty well in the movies when they try that.

I always find research relating to the human genome a cause for concern. I am completely in favour of research where there are clear benefits to medical science, but I am not always convinced that research such as this is justified.
Humans are a fallible species, and whilst the scientists involved may be genuinely looking for uses of this research to progress medical science, it can also be used for less than ethical purposes such as creating designer babies, which is one step away from eugenics.
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

Wouldn't a bed be more comfortable than a lab bench? 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Well, they have read our mails and documents for years, so why not voice recording too.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Why not monitor programmer stress levels to discover when things are getting tricky and take bug avoidance measures? Add an extra wire for shocks (for exceptions)

Microsoft Research is working on a system, dubbed Platypus, that can detect a human’s location and identity inside of a building. Hopefully it isn't equipped with a poisonous spur

A month after Microsoft ceded the No. 1 browser spot to rival Google, Internet Explorer (IE) and Edge hemorrhaged user share at an astounding rate, data released today showed. If you don't use IE, how are you going to know how it's going to break your page?

I wonder how Microsoft will respond to this challenge?
Could we fault fault that as well on the Synofsky-Balmmer Duo-Debacle?
|
|
|
|
|
I predict they'll try to move Edge to a more Chrome/FF-like upgrade cycle, with new releases coming out faster (and likely without user input). Not that I think that will help much. Once users are trained to ignore the big, blue e, they're not likely to return.
As for Balmer/Synofsky - maybe. I think they've had the problem a few times thinking IE was "done". IE6 was the worst culprit, but 10 also seemed to be a pause. Having it part of Windows certainly didn't help them respond at Internet speed.

At the time I thought IE 6 was great. Then Firefox came along and that made me think there was more to browsing than what IE 6 offered. Since then we've had Chrome and so on. I'm currently running six browsers, including IE and Edge.

Save that headline.
You just have to replace the word "browser" with "Windows" in the near future.
