And 1/3 of the world population continues to starve, and probably 90% of the world's population doesn't give a damn what Intel does.
(Sorry, sometimes I think these things just need to be put into perspective.)

+1, but that goes for our entire industry in many ways.
However, some times it does lead to good news (or at least postpone the bad). The water find in Kenya as one example. I'm sure there were some chips involved there.

Holy Water, Batman!
You're right[^]
?The finding by Radar Technologies International (RTI) was made using space based exploration technology called WATEX system. The largest aquifer at 250 billion cubic meters of water which is equivalent in volume to Lake Turkana one of the largest lakes in the Great Rift Valley, and 25 times greater than Loch Ness. More importantly the annual recharge rate, the amount of water that can be sustainably exploited per year, is estimated to 3.4 billion cubic meters, nearly three times the water use in the New York City.

When did Loch Ness enter the realm of "sizes of things for comparison"?

Well, Paula[^] apparently spent some time at Bristol University, UK so maybe she developed a love for Loch Ness. Then again, she also spent time at Princeton, so why didn't she compare it to one of the Great Lakes? 
I love Internet sleuthing.

Oracle has released the first developer preview of Java 8 for the full range of platforms (Windows, Max OS X, Linux, Solaris). Also: developer preview of upcoming security flaws

My wifi network is named "FreeWiFi". But it has a password.  (of course, any WiFi becomes free with enough effort)

No wife is free. They always come with hidden strings attached.

If you're stuck with Windows 8, the Windows 8.1 upgrade is a no-brainer, but the fundamental flaws remain But... but... Start Button!

Not surprised. It will be interesting to see if Metro survives to WIndows 9 or what ever they call it. Probably not Windows 9 since Windows 8 was a bomb, and Microsoft usually does not use names again that bomb
|

|

Well, Metro already is dropped, thanks to someone else holding the trademark. However, I do think that Wine might just drop the "modern/Windows store style" homepage/start menu. At least on desktops.

let's hope so!
I don't think they are listening to customer demands, they are force feeding us the metro on my desktop PC: distasteful!!

I sincerely hope it doesn't make 8.2, not holding breathe though.

Actually ME was the dog. Windows 95 was considered good for a long time, and do not think 98 was considered horrible.

I hope Windows Aftereight will be better.

I've heard that it will be Mint.
I'll get my coat.

I heard so, too. Do they want us to put it in a collection without installing it?

Microsoft's own platforms take a backseat when it comes to requests for mobile apps, developers find. No love for Windows CE?

Its not really new. Folk prefer Android and iOS because they have been out for a long while and have a lot of apps available. It is difficult for Windows products to push their way into a market with well established products.
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

Sort of sucks that the Windows team is so incompetant. Had a great opportunity if they could have gotten the mobile OSs working 10 years ago as they should have.
