OK, maybe 120 million downloads, but we know that Windows now downloads the installer whether you ask for it or not.
So it's how many installs, not how many downloads.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Better than 8 doesn't tell me anything meaningful. How does it stack up against w7's numbers? Both projected from a few months after launch, and in terms of what the actual upgrade rate was seen to be after the fact?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Pod. Work group. Committee. Autonomous collective. Whatever you call it, you’re part of one at Google and probably wherever you work: a team. So if we know what makes managers great, why don’t we know what makes a team great? Bonus #6: Not whatever the Google+ team does

Google+ is a million times better than Facebook, okay? Okay?

Viewing agile as a business movement—not just a development movement—can influence improved alignment between development teams and key stakeholders such as sales, marketing and customer service. Adopting the agile mindset of team-based work and continual improvement in business functions could even improve basic processes such as customer service and support. Duh, when will businesses get it?

Haha, I mean what is agile really anyway? Working together? Do we really need a methodology to tell us we should work together?

Scientists at the National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) have proven beyond reasonable doubt that Einstein was wrong about one of the main principles of quantum mechanics and that "spooky action at a distance" is actually real. Spooky

Science IS wrong, it is ALWAYS wrong. Because we discover things bit by bit, approximating and with finite datasets limited by technology - which evolves when we are at least partially right, allowing us to discover whole new data that point out the errors and mistakes of the cycle before, then we make new extrapolations and approximationx which are limited by technology, which evolves...

No, it's not wrong. It's just not completely right. Or more commonly: it's correct to within a certain margin of error.

Yes, but sometimes that margin is as wide as the universe.

Define "width of universe".

Everything is relative... until it becomes absolute
Everything is right... until it is proved wrong
It has been needed some decades to find this out. Maybe in some decades more this is wrong as well.
The world makes a full revolution each day. Knowledge needs a bit longer.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

From headline I thought this was referring to relativity. Instead, it's just a more robust confirmation of quantum entanglement.
