My bad... so it was BLACK.
I took that word TODAY way too serious. Thought I must be FRIDAY. But it had 6 characters when I counted 
Then I though it could be TODAY, but then thought they can't directly write the answer in the hint

You were on the right track with FRIDAY, as today is BLACK FRIDAY

Well, yeah I was And I would have solved it if had pondered upon it bit more.
But then happened my lunch break and I went to have pizza at a near by restaurant with my colleagues. And when I returned back, it was solved already

A transcript of a secretly taped meeting at a major software company where future products were discussed has been given to me by an anonymous source. I offer it here without interpretation:
G1: "I still can't see your aura."
G2: "How many cups of coffee drank you before the meeting ?"
G1: "Maybe three, maybe a few gallons, maybe a few fish heads."
G2: "Well, that'll do it: they were probably headed upstream to spawn, and die."
G1: "Right: I can see the blue iridescence on their scales as they leap over ..."
G3: "Hey, we really got dinged for missing that bug in the Golden Master."
G2: "The kissing bug ?"
G1: "did you know you only get Chagas from the bug if it both bites you and defecates in the wound ?"
G2: "That's pretty heavy, dude."
G3: "We need Iron Man suits."
G1: "We need better LSD !"
G2: "You can say that again !"
G3: "How many times should I say it again ?"
G2: "until all the salmon are dead."
G1: "you mean zero bugs ?"
G2: "way minus bugs !"
G3: "no way"
G1: "right, we'd be out of a job.:
G2: " 'negative defect jobless' ... hey, I like the sound of that."
G3: "when did this meeting start ?"
G2: "before it ended."
G1: "Anybody got any new ideas ?"
G3: "How about necrophilia ?"
G2: "Is it over now ?"
G2: "What ? the necrophilia ?"
G3: "I think we're just getting to the dead part, now."
G1: "I'm hungry."
G2: "how about you go get us some sandwiches ?"
G1: "I think the morgue is closed."
G3: "you really know how to spoil a party."
G1: "I was never a fine young cannibal."
G2: "that song is so ... dated."
G3: "Johnny Paycheck never covered that one."
G1: "Check."
G2: "Check-mate."
G3: "that's an idea ! We bundle a chess-game with the app !"
G2: "last time I looked the app was a chess game ..."
G1: "... where the user always lost their data."
G3: "what's the point of having the user win ?"
G2: "if we have their money ..."
G1: "I gotta migraine ... I think I'm coming down ..."
G2: "Sandy witches and Pepsus Maximus in order here !"
G1: "Hail Precarious !"
G2: "I, Impecunious Vacillator, salute Thee !"
G3: "I'm calling this 'over' "
G2: "I gotta few actions written down under for the boss ..."
G1: "I gotta song sung blue."
G3: "Dated, dated, dated !"
G1: "Adjourn to the morgue ?
G3: "Adjourned."

Hi Mycroft, yes, I assume there is some neural net still active in the smoking ruins of my mind looping "Let's Do the Time Warp Again" 
But, if you believe that story ... about programmers micro-dosing on LSD in Silicon Valley ... being reported in media ranging from CNN Money to Rolling Stone ... video here: [^] ... then ...
Perhaps it's not too far-outfetched to riff on the ... possibility.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

You mean, we should advise anyone on QA, who is asking us to do his job for him, to have a microdose of LSD to step up his creativity? I'm not sure it will work.

Forget micro doses - HUGE doses would explain a lot of the questions...

Well, I've had to reinstall Win7 after a catastrophic system crash (caused by failing hardware), and I'm finally gonna dump MSSE (because it's been at the bottom of all testing labs ratings for a while now), and was wondering what everyone else is using.
BitDefender and Kapersky are currently getting (and consistently have gotten) the highest marks, but at the same time, I see people complaining about both, and mostly for the same reasons.
So what is the current consensus on A/V software?

I switched from MSSE to Kaspersky when I updated to Win10, and have to say it's not got in my way much. The switch to "Protected Browser" for the bank and similar is a little jarring as it takes far too long the first time each day, but it seems like a good idea.
Mind you - it hasn't found any problems either, so it's difficult to say if it's working at all... 
It's certainly less hassle than MSSE which used to slug my PC every afternoon while it did a scan I didn't want and couldn't stop.

MSSE can be scheduled to do scans anytime you want. On the other hand, it's level of protection is the worst in the industry.

MSSE & Windows Defender should have the worst protection in the industry. They're free, making any paid product that does worse than the MS free products a short lived product. Personally I have had MSSE and Windows Defender catch stuff that paid products have missed.

On Windows 10 I use Windows Defender for real-time protection and MBAM for custom full scans each weekend. MBAM scans are slow, but very "accurate", even changed extensions like changed .doc to .bmp are flagged out as suspicious. I started using MBAM 2-3 years ago on Windows 7 because of its good reviews (seemed to be the best in detections, but can have "false positives" too  ...),
