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.
It'll be the Best Windows Evah!

Why does this well worn theme still make me laugh?

It's like toothache: you either laugh about it, or you're miserable all the time.

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.

"Essential .NET - Understanding C# foreach Internals and Custom Iterators with yield" [^]Quote: For example, are you aware that foreach works differently for arrays than on IEnumberable<t> collections? How familiar are you with the relationship between IEnumerable<t> and IEnumerator<t>? And, if you do understand the enumerable interfaces, are you comfortable implementing them using yield?
«When I consider my brief span of life, swallowed up in an eternity before and after, the little space I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, now rather than then.» Blaise Pascal

Apple has hired a small team of biomedical engineers to work at a nondescript office in Palo Alto, California, miles from corporate headquarters. Supposedly the idea is to develop sensors that can noninvasively and continuously monitor blood sugar levels to better treat diabetes

Apple is working on measurement devices and NOT some treating medicines.
A whopping difference

While your definition is correct, measurement devices are in todays medicine world seen as a part of the treatment, to be precise they play a vital factor in deciding which medicine to give out and how much of it.

Google has announced that it is to retire the Octane JavaScript benchmark. The company says that while the benchmark was useful when it was introduced back in 2012, "over-optimization" by developers means that it is far less meaningful. Google places the blame at the door of those who have been playing the system

Microsoft is experimenting with bringing the browser tabbing experience to all apps in Windows 10, including File Explorer. As it currently stands, it's unclear whether the tabbed experience will show up by default, or if it'll only show up once you have two instances of the same program open.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, because we really want to have to switch between tabs, when we're working with multiple files open 
Any mention of any bugs being fixed, alongside all these Great New Features they're wasting our time with working on?

A growing field of research proves that artificial intelligence can be fooled in more or less the same way, seeing one thing where humans would see something else entirely. Fool me once, download a security update.

The findings in this article may finally show people how the name 'Artificial Intelligence' misleading... There is no 'intelligence' in fast learning and micro-level analyzing of pictures... Small is not same as detail...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
