I've got to imagine there will definitely be comics about the adventures of Bill Gates someday, if there aren't (non fan-fic) ones already. "Gates swoops down into Africa to fight Cholera! KA-POW!"

Jelly Bean is still the version of choice for Android users, with an astonishing 60.7% of the user base.
Give me a break, give me a break, break me off an extremely minuscule piece of that Kit Kat bar.

Not really. It's what the manufacturer/carrier has supplied. Many would *love*, *love*, *love* to go to kitkat. But it's not like they can go to Walmart or Bestbuy and purchase it. They're (we're) all at the mercy of the carriers.

With the advancements made to mobile devices these days, almost everyone has one, and almost everyone is constantly on them. Cisco predicted that by 2018 there will be more mobile devices than people. Soon our mobile devices will have mobile devices

Yo dawg, we put a mobile device in your mobile device, so your mobile device can use a mobile device while you're on your mobile device!

I don't know if I'd count that as a mobile for a mobile. More like a mobile' accessory. (and I still think a really ugly one as well)

Bill Gates’ first day at work in the newly created role of technology adviser got off to a rocky start yesterday as the Microsoft founder struggled for hours to install the Windows 8.1 upgrade. Day two will be Windows Update
(Yes, it's their satire column, but I couldn't resist)

For half a second I believed it, and for that half-second my day was made.

Only because he probably uses Ubuntu (or a Mac.)

I could really picture him with a Macbook Air under his arm. Ballmer would kick his chair though.

Microsoft's new ship target for its coming Windows 8.1 Update 1 may have shifted from March to April, according to sources. As long as they get it right, it could be December as far as I'm concerned

A Verizon customer service rep eventually admitted the practice to the blogger who figured out what they were doing.
And so it begins.

What kind of idiots are judges nowadays?
Why isn't Verizon and other telecommunication carriers declared to be "common carriers" forced to treat everyone equally?
It is as if United Van Lines charges one rate for me and a different one for you. That is not allowed.
But then lawyers and judges have been stupid for such a long time.
For instance, Microsoft allowed PC manufacturers (if they are MS-DOS customers) to install CP/M or Unix variants provided they still paid a fee to Microsoft.
This was similar to Rockefeller's Standard Oil that forced railroads to pay him money if they carried any other company's oil.
That was declared illegal and anti-trust and Standard Oil got busted up in, what, 1911?
80 years later, the lawyers and judges could not recall that landmark judgment.
Idiots!

Microsoft confirmed late Tuesday that corporate VP Scott Guthrie, who has been leading Windows Azure efforts, will serve as acting head of the server and enterprise group, reporting to Nadella. That's "Emperor Gu" to you

And I was taking this seriously up until "Emperor Gu." Well played.

I know: he's a sweetheart, and doesn't deserve me mocking him like that (even in jest). But, that is where he's currently sitting in the global address list.

Imagine having millions of nanobots in your brain that constantly remind you to log into Google+. That seems to be the vision of Google engineering director Ray Kurzweil, who tells The Wall Street Journal that by the 2030s we’ll have “millions, billions of blood cell-sized computers in our bloodstream… keeping us healthy, augmenting our immune system, also going into the brain and putting our neocortex onto the cloud.” Would that be USB, HDMI, or RJ-11?
