I wasn't actually thinking of whiskers but I'm sure that there's some hipster establishment in London that provides that very service.

And how old (in years) will that quote be in two years time?

I was referring to the fact that yesterday was the 40th anniversary of the first broadcast of THHGTTG (I heard it when it went out!)

Excellent - but as you noticed, slightly too slow. Have an up vote anyway!

Our Windows phnes care so deeply about us.
Yesterday, as I'm approaching my car to go home, Cortana announces that if I leave by 15:31, I'll be home in 35 minutes, based on the current traffic.
A) No one asked her.
B) How did she know I was leaving work?
C) How did she know I was going home, rather than to the store or whatever?
The only way any of that could have happened would be for the phone to pay attention to what time I start driving every weekday afternoon and where I usually end up.
Sheer devotion like that is hard to find.

I'm that guy too!
I like the live tiles and being able to control the size of them. I tried android for a while, but it didn't stick.
My desktop is windows, my laptops are windows, my tablets are windows. Why shouldn't my phone be windows???
I've heard the arguments about the apps, but my WP does everything I need it to do.
I know, I can't get an app for my favorite Chinese restaurant, so I can no longer eat there. Oh wait, I can use my WP to call and talk to a real person to place my order.

You make calls on your phone? Probably the least used feature on mine. Happily so, but, I may have been damaged by a phone sales job back in the 90s...

I'm that guy too. I need a new phone and am depressed that I will have to downgrade to Android or IOS.

As a guy who held on to WP for a long time and 2 models, I can't tell you how happy I was to find that it's not a downgrade by any means (especially if it's an Android). iOS probably may not be as smooth a transition.

I'm struggling to imagine what that leads to when the hyperbole wrapper is taken off and replaced by skin-flaps from the backsides of early adopters.
Implications for PWA's ? cross=platform syzygy ?
Does it ever grow up, and get 64 bits ?

My son-in-law has some sort of psychic aura, I think. My daughter says she was having trouble with her printer and called for him to look at it. He stood in the doorway looking and the printer started printing. I dismissed that , but I was havving trouble with a software defined radio the computer wasn't recognizing, he came over yesterday and as soon as he walked in my office the wsoftware started working flawlessly.
I assume he scares the hell out of anything electronics related.
He's a great son-in-law, He's now the family IT help desk instead of me, so I'm happy!

This happens to me quite often when a client calls for help with a problem. They are my favorite kind of support calls!  or maybe just a magnetic personality!
