So everyone agrees with the "male bird" comment*.
I really like the idea of being able to walk around and see an "adjusted" version of your surroundings, though, along with all the little tweaks and info-points that can be added.
Google glasses need not apply -- I want to see what genuinely creative people can do with it.

Not really a distinction.

A mate of mine plays it. I like the technology, and actually look forward to what else will be done with it. He's taken to letting his girlfriend drive, just to watch his sprite zoom about like a nutter.
I'm not into dog-fighting or c**k-fighting, though, so the game itself is of little interest to me.

Isn't that a transexual?

Good choice.
Tall, skinny, ostentatious guy who owns labradoodles? Definite gay.

I don't get it. Most of my friends are playing it, and at least a couple coworkers...
I mean... I played Ingress for a while, when it came out. Couple weeks. Got bored, and felt like an idiot for playing it even that long. And now there's a new one that combines Ingress with weird animal-mutant-monster-cartoon thingies that come out of plastic balls.
I won't be downloading it.

I thought so too. 
I can't believe the amount of time people are prepared to put into something like this.

It's a really very popular game.
Probably the first that puts AR to (really) good use.
The guys who made it are making big bucks out of it.
And here you are calling it stupid.
I've got some bad news for you...

People in the 80's and 90's made millions from selling "pet rocks". That was stupid, too. Not for the sellers, but the buyers. Same here.

Meh. The cut-off date is just to instill a false sense of security. "Security" updates to Weven and Wait after that date will still make your machine more and more like winio.

Microsoft == Borg
So I'm prepping a computer remotely for my client, for a demo they want to do today. We had to reboot the machine (or it decided to reboot on its own, I wasn't watching.)
Anyways, Microsoft is stuck on installing update #5 of 244.
I feel assimilated.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

It's really not my imagination that infinite loops have increased by a very large factor since wins 8 & 10, despite the myriad tools that are in place to prevent them.
It's worse than the DOS days.

DOS - 16-bit
Windows 95/2K/XP - 32-bit
Windows 7/8/10 - 64-bit
Ignoring increases in clock speed, infinite loops today take at least 2^48 times longer! 
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.
