I hope not to see the day when it is needed to switch it off.
Although... not sure it it could even be a good idea to let everything crash and start over again with a better design avoiding the errors that have been done.

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?

We were just thinking the same yesterday. With Windows OS. Maybe Microsoft could just delete all windows installations and then go into dev-mode for 5 years. Then when theyre properly done, they could come back out and give it away and it wouldn't be tied down by all that old stuff.

Remix OS is basically a desktop version of Android, with floating windows and a start menu-style app drawer. So, it makes sense that creators Jide would make it as easy to use on a desktop. So you can deal with those Angry Birds on your desktop
Or crush candy, or whatever the kids do with their phones these days

Well it did look like the bovine was eating grass on land that did not belong to the owner, so to protect the owner, blurred the face. Now that other bovine is in trouble. We know that police do follow up on crimes in photos that are posted.

Isn't that the same cow that appeared in The Lounge yesterday[^]?

Lawsuit claims smartphone-enabled massage device violated privacy
We need a new type of smiley for that! 
Can you think of an app intruding even farther into someone's privacy than this?

while I've long maintained that Internet of pwnd Things would elephant its users privacy all up, that's NOT at all what I had in mind.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

New research has found psychopaths are as prevalent in the upper echelons of the corporate world as they are in prisons. "I'm not a psychopath, I'm a high-functioning sociopath. Do your research."

No surprise. I have a psychopath for a manager. Besides being a compulsive liar, if I am alone, her tail is at my desk making provocative suggestions. Just yesterday she came in and started looking down at her cleavage, then looks at me straight in the eyes. In the past she's talked me into working late and by surprise, she's brought home cooked dinner for two. Last Christmas she asked me if I'd like to go to her Christmas party. I was the only one invited. A couple of months ago on a nice and sunny Friday afternoon, when of course, most people had gone home for the weekend, she comes in a says, "are you lonely?" And never in my life have I seen someone lost 100 pounds in 6 months and then gain it back in 6 months. That is a psychopath.
And HR won't do anything. It is at the point that I record all day everyday at work; so nothing comes back to me. That is life working with a psychopath.

Not so much a psychopath as someone who is flirting with you. Being a compulsive liar in itself is not evidence of psychopathy. Psychopathy is a personality disorder characterised by continual antisocial behaviour, limited empathy and / or remorse, and egotistical traits.

New information from research firm Gartner claims that businesses in the PC market must change their practices or leave by 2020, and gives four strategies for moving forward. You hardly ever see them in offices anymore
I wonder who funded this study? Pencil makers?

Does Gartner actually do research? Seems to me that it is the leading company of making sh*t up. Seriously, why does anyone listen to these people?

Not sure what is meant by a pc. Is a tablet a PC? There are a couple of things at play here.
First there have not been the performance increases in the past, and new software tends to run fine on the on older computers. I do know that before the dual core computers became common on laptops I would have issues with running HD videos on my laptop. Have not seen that problem in a while.
Second: most people only used pcs to be on the internet, emails, maybe listen to music, or watch videos. They probably did anything very often that went beyond this. A tablet does this fine, and if you do not mind the small screen, you can do it on a phone. Why buy a bulky PC for more money when you can get by with something smaller. Phones also now are fast enough to do a lot of things on them, so do not need a pc for that either.

'Occupy HTML5' movement shows Flash still has ardent support, but the web tool's best days are over. "If you hadn't nailed him to the perch he'd be pushing up the daisies!"

The denial is strong in this one...
Quote: Flash “powers some amazing experiences that work consistently across all of the major browsers in a way that cannot be replicated without Flash technology,” Beladaci writes on the Occupy HTML5 Facebook page.
*cough*Android*cough*IOS*cough*
Quote: Although Flash may be in decline, it will not be going away soon. Though a detractor, Drost still sees Flash hanging around for some time. For one, Flash offers a much better authoring environment, with Adobe’s Animate CC, than anything developed in the HTML5 world, he says.
“There’s no parallel in HTML5. So perhaps the legacy of Flash will live on and Flash the authoring environment still today can export HTML5,” he says.
Aren't Mozilla and Google planning to outright ban flash from their browsers in a year or two? Once that happens flash will involuntarily join various other legacy cluster-elephants that are the only reason to continue using IE after you've downloaded a second browser. 
And if Adobe's editing tools can be used to write HTML5 instead of flash, doesn't that mean HTML5 does have access to the same better tooling.

At least a year or so ago I found a few major sites that still use Silverlight. One of Ballmer's many disastrous decisions was to kill Silverlight. May not work for all people, but fine for quite a few, and great for corporations that can designate the platform to use. Ballmer in is stupidity, listened to the wrong people who were telling him that HTML would solve all the problems of HTML. Of course there were a lot of people then believing this. I really do not understand why since HTML 5 has all the issues of the versions before it, and it was obvious that there would be implementation issues and differences.
