Microsoft has confirmed that it is no longer developing the touch-friendly versions of Office apps for Windows Because people really don't like touching Excel?
Would you have preferred PowerPoint?

Maybe they will still make them available for touch. They just won't be friendly.

That was a useless but nice endeavour. Using an office app without keyboard? Not even for simple stuff (i.e. managing a small list of possible wedding locations). Yet the path to create something viable has for sure generated some usable byproduct.

We’ve been working on Project Stream, a technical test to solve some of the biggest challenges of streaming. For this test, we’re going to push the limits with one of the most demanding applications for streaming—a blockbuster video game. I like big pipes, I cannot lie

Martin Rees, a well-respected British cosmologist, has made a pretty bold statement when it comes to particle accelerators: there's a small, but real possibility of disaster. FIFA standard, or US?
I'm assuming the US has a different sized field - they seem to for everything else.

What’s going on is that the two indexes have very different methodologies … although what their methodologies have in common is both are very questionable, if the objective is to measure the popularity of programming languages. Random number generators gotta be random

Did we just have this discussion a few months ago?

As HP put it at the event, “this isn’t a PC that’s wrapped in leather, it’s a PC that’s made of leather.” "Oh, my."
I was going to go with "Hell bent, Hell bent for leather.", but I was worried about offending some.
Mind you, I probably offended some by mentioning that I might offend some, so, sorry for that.
Oh, and sorry for apologizing there. I know that might offend some people.
I'm feeling mighty Canadian today. (Hopefully that doesn't offend anyone).

You had me up until "mighty Canadian"
Actually, it made me think of "You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn"
Which made me think of "mighty rivers" and lumberjacks.

Aaaaand now my brain is doing the Lumberjack Song.

It is actually mad of plastics and wrapped in leather... Too gentle and easily breakable... Me think the aluminium case was there for good reason...

You could have gone with "Black as night, faster than a shadow". That would be a cool marketing ad!
I have a costly, brand new laptop for work. It sucks a lot. For the same price I could have bought an Alienware. But hey, Company's money...

BrainNet provides the first multi-person brain-to-brain interface which allows a nonthreatening direct collaboration between human brains. "If you could read my mind, love what a tale my thoughts could tell"

I can't even read my own mind, how the hell is anyone else going to do it?

What makes a lot of us treat our solution as the best, while talking bad about other solutions? "No time for losers 'cause we are the champions"
|
|
|
|
|
I think in a lot of domains, not just software, there are some more-or-less objectively bad solutions; but there are almost always several good solutions, with no one of those solutions being objectively better than the others.
