Google is no stranger to hardware releases, with the Nexus range of phones and tablets proving quite the hit with consumers. But a new report has claimed Google is ready to cut out the middleman and release its own phone handset. It worked out so well for Microsoft
Yes, it worked out for that "other" phone company, but it was never a software company switching to hardware.

Exactly. Now if only that hardware company could complete the transition to being an actual software company.
Except the Operations Guys and Accountants now run it, so that horse has bolted...

Artificial intelligence (AI) developed by a University of Cincinnati doctoral graduate was recently assessed by subject-matter expert and retired United States Air Force Colonel Gene Lee - who holds extensive aerial combat experience as an instructor and Air Battle Manager with considerable fighter aircraft expertise - in a high-fidelity air combat simulator.

Slightly incorrect, I believe they have joint managers of which one is a dentist. The the other [Lars Lagerback] is very much an experienced international manager.

In my experience, code becomes legacy the second you don't feel confident enough to just delete (and rewrite) it.

All code written by someone else is legacy code. All code I wrote yesterday is legacy code.

legacy code really translates to “code you’re afraid to touch.” That's a great definition!
