How is anything going wrong with iTunes a surprise?

iTunes breaks more often than anything else in this universe.
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???

I thought iTunes was end-of-lifed by apple.

Quote: So in this build, on PCs with more than 3.5 GB of RAM, services are no longer grouped under shared Svchost entries. Instead, each gets its own process.
I'd've killed for this at my last job.
At least one of the dumpster fires corporate IT blighted my Weven laptop with regularly went berserk and had its service host process devouring a core for anywhere between 15 minutes and an hour. The large number of services running it it meant I wasn't able to do anything beyond generic rage at the admins since i couldn't ever point to a single offender and the process in question was full of stuff that would cause real problems if I started killing them left and right (assuming it wasn't running at a level of protection my local admin couldn't overrule anyway).
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 Galaxy Note 7 is officially dead. Samsung has told multiple outlets (CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg) that it is permanently stopping production of the troubled device. After two recalls, Samsung has killed the Note 7.

I think it was inevitable. It was bad enough that the devices were catching fire, but to have the replacements do the same was just too much.

If you want to attract and keep developers, don’t emphasize ping-pong tables, lounges, fire pits and chocolate fountains. Give them private offices or let them work from home, because uninterrupted time to concentrate is the most important and scarcest commodity. Nah, let's just schedule another meeting.

I actually wouldn't want to work in a private office, as I don't think it's a productive environment. I prefer to work alongside my colleagues. We have banter which helps us as a team to form bonds and get along, and if we run into problems or have a question we only need to swivel round a chair for a discussion.

Over the years, I've been in the cube farm, shared office, private office and now, cube farm again.
Generally, I don't object to the cube farm or shared office, IF, and it is always a big IF my cube mates or office mates agree that we are there to work, not to socialize. Some socialization is fine.. but the emphasis is on work. And please.. don't subject me to your choice of music, and I'll not subject you to mine.
If you are watching a training video or anything else with sound on your desktop, please use head phones or ear buds.
I think one of the worst experiences was someone in the cube farm that added a bell ringer to their phone so they could hear if wherever they were in the office area - and proceeded to put the bell ringer on top of the cube wall, that way we could ALL hear it, even when he chose to ignore it.

Try working on a bench with 12 other people on your bench, 600 people on the floor with only a central block of offices.
Now add a comedian with a laugh like a donkey bray, a tiny little asian woman who has a mouth like a sewer pit (swearing not stench), 4 people who do phone support, 2 people who insist that every call is on speaker phone and you begin to envisage my work environment!
I work in the worst conditions I have ever been subjected to.

Yes, yes and yes. Open Spaces kill productivity. Open Space while surrounded by service personnel (who often has to answer to service calls on the phone with the other guy being on a 100+ dB environmwent) and salesman simply zeroes productivity.

The Federal Communications Commission just smacked Comcast with a $2.3 million fine — the ‘largest civil penalty’ ever issued to a cable operator. *evil laugh* *justice induced laugh* *and another evil laugh*

I'm happy about that, but I think two or three more zeros would send a very painful and needed message.

We’ve known for more than two years that Facebook has been working on a version of its app for organizations. It’s now out of beta, has a new name and is available to everyone, and it’s called Workplace. Hmmm. Does that comparison make sense?

"The semiconductor industry has long assumed that any gate below 5 nanometers wouldn't work, so anything below that was not even considered," University of California at Berkeley researcher Sujai Desay says. In recent years, though, that assertion has looked shaky, and now it's been thoroughly disproved thanks to the discoveries made by scientists at UC Berkeley and the magic of carbon nanotubes. Or, as they're more commonly known, graphene. Ready for some hardcore science about transistor elements that are a fraction of the width of a human hair?
