Facebook Inc (FB.O) said Tuesday it has data sharing partnerships with at least four Chinese companies including Huawei, the world’s third largest smartphone maker, which has come under scrutiny from U.S. intelligence agencies on security concerns.

Microsoft has placed a data center in the Scottish sea to determine whether it can save energy by cooling it in the sea. "Let's put the servers in water." I wish I was in the meeting where this guy piped up.

Does not seem like much point in going to 2019 from what is said in the link. Seems like this one should be free for what little it appears to offer.

git (n.) a person who is deemed to be despicable or contemptible.
Among other synonyms to git, we have:
crumb stinker rat rotter puke bum skunk stinkpot lowlife
Personally, I prefer rat, which would make the new acronym RVFS.

Intel's 18-core i9 CPU is still impressive, but that's last year's news. Today at Computex, Intel SVP Gregory Bryant demoed a 28-core processor running at 5GHz. This is why I've been treating my organs so good. I don't need a heart, right?
