There’s an unidentified source of infrared throughout the universe. By looking at the specific wavelengths of the light, scientists think that come from carbon—but not just any carbon, a special kind where the atoms are arranged in multiple hexagonal rings. The mystery of why people like marzipan?
I guess that's still a mystery then?

Because it's the best edible thing ever created.
But then, I love raisins so I might be the strange one.

In an open letter released on Thursday, Intel chief Brian Krzanich outlined the company's response to the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities while reassuring customers that his company views security as "an ongoing priority." "Fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again."

Far too simplistic!
The last two lines are you usual signature, which gives the first part of the substitution key. After applying that, the rest of the key is easy to guess:
Known:
- O ⇒ B
- r ⇒ e
- f ⇒ s
- g ⇒ t
- J ⇒ W
- v ⇒ i
- u ⇒ h
- Q ⇒ D
- n ⇒ a
- i ⇒ v
- q ⇒ d
- y ⇒ l
- h ⇒ u
- a ⇒ n
Output:
Ghis is an ekazcle sepeet Fxlce zessate.

Guessed:
- G ⇒ T
- p ⇒ c
- e ⇒ r
- z ⇒ m
- t ⇒ g
- F ⇒ S
- x ⇒ k
- l ⇒ y
- c ⇒ p
- k ⇒ x
Result:

A new survey from Kaspersky Lab reveals that there is a major disconnect between employees and their employer's IT security guidelines. "Ignorantia legis neminem excusat"

On the other hand... Only one in 10 IT security policies makes sense to employees

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

After introducing the possibility to control a Windows 10 PC with your eyes last year, it seems that Microsoft is working on something truly mind-blowing. A new Microsoft patent titled “Changing an application state using neurological data” describes a solution for controlling apps with your mind, no eyes or gestures needed. That's strange. I installed it, and my computer blew up.

Hmmmm,
That gives me an idea... we could develop a neural-control interface and link it to the presidents big button... that way he doesn't need to push it... he can just 'think it'.

I don't know, i think some people would rather make certain gestures at their computer, than let it know what they are actually thinking. Besides this will just be used to read peoples minds and try to sell them stuff. I'm sure they say it "won't" just like google home and amazon echo aren't listening to your every conversation until you say the magic word. I've already heard stories about these things. No thanks. I think the next greatest invention should be something that keeps peoples information private, everything today is about finding out every detail about your life so they can predict what to sell you next.

These days we take applications for granted to run our businesses and organise and entertain us in our personal lives. But which are the programming languages that enable our digital world – and how are they progressing over time? "Or art thou base, common and popular?"

That's a rather strange article as it doesn't really seem to assess anything whatsoever let alone the rise and fall of programming languages.
In the same spirit, here's my bit of homework providing a detailed assessment of the rise and fall of British monarchs:
Elizabeth I was pretty cool. Henry VIII was interesting - lots of wives. No-one really remembers George II, though, do they?. Well, at least I don't. Queen Victoria stuck around for a while and has a fair few fans and nowadays gives her name to the pub in Eastenders. Dame Maggie Smith is a very good actress and has probably played the odd monarch in her time (see random link to IMDB to show my sources). I've never really been sure how to pronounce Boudicca so I won't mention her. Elizabeth II has been around for yonks but Shakespeare is yet to write a play about her (see link to Wiki page on Shakespeare so the other link doesn't look too lonely). All in all, there have been quite a few kings and queens of Britain over the centuries when you come to think of it. Is that enough words yet? Invoice enclosed.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.
