Simonyi originally led a Microsoft Research project exploring how to develop with ‘intentional programming’. The software, in theory, would use source code that detected the intentions of the user, making it easier to create and maintain computer programs with a modular code. Do you think they did that on purpose?

Quote: Charles Simonyi was the head of Microsoft’s application software group. One of his jobs was to oversee the development of Office suite favorites such as Excel and Word.
Good.
It was when he left that the morons took over, introducing such wonderful features as the effluent interface and lollipops on tables.

The full game, and its excellent expansion Brood War, can be downloaded now on the game’s official site, updated with a patch that makes the 19-year-old game easier to play on modern machines. Zerg rushes for everyone!

I hope they have a good AI to whittle down the thousands and thousands of applications they'll be getting!
Hey, maybe I should submit that as a project!

Meet PINLogger, the drive-by exploit that steals smartphone PINs | Ars Technica UK[^]
As it wouldn't be enough with malware... now not even needed to missclick something with fat fingers 
Quote: "There is no straightforward fix to the problem without also breaking potentially useful Web applications in the future," another Newcastle University researcher, Feng Hao, told Ars. "No one is able to come up with a definite solution yet."
Then let the possible future webs to deal with the problem, but fix it now

I think that most people dont like or trust Facebook.

I'd love to agree but you should never, ever, underestimate the naivety of the human race.
As tech-savvy adults, we may well have a profound distrust of Facebook but there is already a whole generation who seem happy to share their entire lives there.
Slogans aren't solutions.

Even I put aside my mistrust of any sentence containing 'facebook'...
So now instead of holding in front of us a mini-computer (for some reason called smartphone) we can put on our face an other computer, looks like an over-sized glass, and look like a fool... or not, as VR software will paint everything in pink...
It seems to me we already got fairly disconnected from each other and the reality around with current technology no need of 'improvement' in that field...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I can't wait until ms gets in on the act.
I mean, what could they possibly get wrong?
Think of the worst-case scenario, and be aware that that's precisely the direction they'll go in.
My money's on them deciding that we have to throw virtual baby-blocks at walls, to hit virtual tabs on virtual ribbons.

Why does this well worn theme still make me laugh?

If you'd bothered to read the article, you'd be aware that MS already has an Augmented Reality product - HoloLens.

Contrarily to what you snottily suggest, I did read the article -- but I never let facts get in the way of a snark.

I was just reacting to "I can't wait until MS get in on the act". It could be argued that they've been "in on the act" for a couple of years at least, predating Facebook's investment in the area.
As HoloLens was explicitly mentioned in the article, it seemed that you may have not read it fully. Or maybe just wanted the opportunity to "snark" at Microsoft.
