Another day, another sensational report from Forbes. Oh my goodness, is Windows 10 really "phoning home" thousands of times a day? Nope. In fact, anyone who has even a basic understanding of how networks work should cringe at this shoddy report. A tech reporter getting something wrong? My world is akilter

It's taken decades, but it now appears that new forms of real -- albeit simplified -- software development can be carried out by almost anyone with only a little technical know-how. Can Excel, will travel

Well, if by simplified you mean undocumented, horribly indented, clunky software with more security holes than an caveman's computer, than yeah.

Can they fit that on a screen? I can't, and I use a very small font.
