The Justice Department opened its probe into Google last June, reportedly with a focus on its massive search business and other parts of the company. I'm guessing they were using Bing to search for evidence?

Scientists around the world are working on a quantum internet to communicate by teleportation. But what is the quantum internet, when will it be ready, and who will be using it? If you think you understand the quantum internet, you don't understand the quantum internet?

That's going to be funny with the "read confirmations" of important messages...

Expressive Pixels is a Windows 10 authoring platform focused on animated visualizations now available for free in the Microsoft Store. You can have your very own icons!
What the what-what?
1. Someone had to think this was a good idea
2. They convinced others - there's a "project team"
3. People wrote the code for it
4. People designed the hardware for it
5. The article was written about it
(yeah, #6. I posted this, but only out of spite)

Is this what happens when you have over a billion dollars to spend, and a big pile of coke? 
Or maybe we are both wrong. Deaf people are going to be drawn to concerts so they can see which bell is being rung. Oh wait, maybe that involves more coke.

I suppose this is kind of related with the new features of two messages below (GIF search)
I wonder how many things are going to get broken to make this happen...

There is hardware for it? Yikes.

Qualcomm Technologies announced Monday that it conducted the first successful extended range 5G data call over mmWave. Apparently they can hear you now

The new features are available for Windows Insiders to test. Freeze peach in when does then?

While highlighting new development work on Microsoft's F# programming language alongside the latest .NET 5 preview, the company announced that, except for one minor enhancement, "we are finished with F# 5!" And so am I (even if I never started)
I don't think the wording on that announcement is the best they could have done.

They should have used their mastery in icons designing and tell it graphically

Isn't it interesting how the words "finished with" and "completed" can have so many different connotations?

What baffles scientists so much is that there is no air or water on the moon, which are both required for hematite, which is a type of rust, to form. The cow must have been leaking when it jumped over

Did maybe any of the astronauts had to pee so badly and had a leak in the suit?

Sharing compensation data has become an annual tradition at Microsoft during this time of year For the curious
$125,665/year gets you a lot of icons!
Their description of the levels is completely accurate (they're not necessarily by time in the job)

A recent update to Windows 10's Microsoft Defender antivirus solution ironically allows it to download malware and other files to a Windows computer. Who will defend the Defender?
Fortunately it does (apparently) scan what it's downloading, but yeesh.

Is it the one where it is supposed to "secure" it against registry deactivation? 
Someone should tell the windows updates team that sometimes the "never change a running system" is not such a bad advice.

Google says “geofence” search requests grew 100-fold between 2017 and 2019. 101m? 5.23 chains?
Yeah, not appropriate for the non-USians, but I also post about European-centric stuff. Oh, and Oz-centric stuff occasionally.

The lessons use space exploration and the challenges of cosmic exploration to teach the fundamentals of programming. Does it have a program where you count down from 10?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, but the interwebs are littered with people that should go back to the fundamentals of programming school, like this one:
countDown = 3
while (countDown >= 0):
if countDown != 0:
print(countDown)
countDown = countDown - 1
else:
print("Action!")
break
and I don't think lessons from space exploration will help this person.
