Jeeze, what an idiotic writer.
It took me quite a while to pick my "favourite" of the stupid statements:Quote: the only folks who still seem to cling to PCs are office workers and students who need to turn in an assignment.
Oh, OK, so only about three billion people, then.
They should get someone who has at least a clue about the topic to rewrite the article.

And developers. And gamers. And researchers. Only half of the population still clings to PCs, and that's only because the other half doesn't have access to clean water and a steady supply of food, let alone electrical power and computers.

No it will not. This statement alone makes me question the article. Just another form of massively parallel processing. If there is too much interdependence, then will run into bandwidth issues.

Lets be honest, the forecasters have been on a good run recently so we should probably take note

Hell, if they're including ios, they should include the figures for android.

So, they're not counting someone like me, using Windows 10 on a device made 3-4 years ago.
I believe MS sells (and gives away) more software than Apple, Apple sells more hardware than MS. I don't see that changing in the foreseeable future.

Like 2012 was the end... Like 2017 is being marked as an end, if any of the past statements were true. 
And that name, "KIC 9832227", looks more like a code for an update documentation of Windows — KB9832227.

Atlassian today announced that it has acquired project management service Trello for $425 million. For that price, you'd think I'd be able to come up with something funny to say (but no)
$425 million for Pinterest crossed with a todo list? (OK, Kanban cards, w00). I wonder how much they'd pay for a battle-hardened developer forum site?

My offer is 2.5 billion.
Don't tell, but I'll go as high as 3.2 trillion.
Not dollars, of course.

Using Python to Code by Voice - YouTube[^]
TLDW; Dragon Naturally Speaking is scriptable via python and is flexable enough to drive coding in an editor like emacs or vim without using a keyboard.
A friend sent me this over the weekend. It's a neat demo and looks like could be helpful for anyone struggling with RSI problems.
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?

Dragon NS is probably the BEST speech recognition program available. I used it to great success in school.
I didn't realize it was scriptable, though. Quite cool.

“I love the little girl, saying ‘Alexa ordered me a dollhouse,’” said Patton.
As soon as Patton said that, viewers all over San Diego started complaining their echo devices had tried to order doll houses.
Just let Echo listen to the news and be surprised by what is ordered.
