Virtual reality demo at Oculus Connect. So THAT'S kinda sorta what it looks like.

Actually, I found it much better than anticipated. The Oculus team really did a great job there  .

The ancient Japanese art of wood joinery might be a dying tradition in today’s modern technological landscape, but one man is still trying to thrust this age-old practice into the future – and now he’s bringing it to Twitter Mechanical design software Fusion 360 makes it all possible.

They are a little behind the times. Google has already written it off.

That in turn makes me behind the times ... I'll replace the story in the newsletter before it gets released. Don't tell the world about my shame.

So did you ninja edit your original post here so it doesn't show that you swapped out the story; or did you procrastinate long enough for el reg to update its story and make it a moot point. 
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?

The news over the weekend was horrible, so in order to save more news for myself today, I left this one in and changed the subline to include the updated information, which may result in no one clicking on the news story at all!
I am curious to see what happens.
Thanks,

While the news over the long weekend was highly vomitous, I wasn't aware of anything spectacularly vile that would belong here as opposed to in the troll pit[^].

By now it should come as no surprise that Julian Assange isn’t a fan of Hillary Clinton. It doesn’t seem that he likes Google much, either. Free information gets its latest teaser trailer.

Allowing for his attitudes to women, I'm not entirely surprised to see him in the Trump camp.

If you buy a Google Pixel or Pixel XL from Verizon Wireless, you'll be at the mercy of the carrier when it comes to future Android updates. Do you trust Verizon to deliver updates in a timely manner? *snicker*

That's a good way to make people look at alternative carriers.

Sunshine and seawater. That’s all a new, futuristic-looking greenhouse needs to produce 17,000 tonnes of tomatoes per year in the South Australian desert. For $200 million those better be some good tomatoes.

This time we’ll dig into the SMART stats we use in determining drive failure and we’ll also look at a few other stats we find interesting. Just like us, they'll all die someday.

I once worked at a place where we had to deal with hard drives in embedded systems. SMART proved completely useless in identifying what went wrong, let alone predicting failures.

Dealing with iOS (and really Apple in general) is like trying to have a conversation with a paranoid robot working as a soviet border officer in a Kafka novel. "Why is it that Apple doesn’t allow other browser engines on iOS?"

We’ve recruited a group of female engineers with years of industry experience to try an experiment with us called “Ask A Female Engineer.” What about the application and interview experience would lead you to choose to join or not join a company?

That would be awesome!

On this particular morning, at the cusp of 40, I have to admit I feel a little drained. I know this is part of the job - if I want to stay relevant (and well paid), I know that every so often I need to cast out some of the knowledge that I've so dutifully absorbed, and gear up up for the next journey. It's just how it is. Buzz. *heh* Hoopla. *heh* A Developer craves not these things.
